Click here to view the embedded video. Most concept designs for projectors usually puts the device into some crazy designs. The new OO projector from Yanko Designs is an elegant design that looks like the head of a pit droid from Star Wars. The chassis is built from semi monocoque carbon fiber and is incredibly durable. Unfortunately the creator didn’t add any image specs, but they did say that the OO would feature a completely wireless system. The projector would be able to stream HD (1920 x 1080) resolution through a WiFi or internal SSD storage. The projector will be completely wireless with only needing a connection to charge the 3 hour internal battery. The remote is a simple touch screen pad that has the futuristic feel to it. The projector also has its own tripod that remotely comes out of the bottom like a UFO. The OO definitely looks like it would be a fun projector to own, but sadly it’s only a concept at this time.

One of Mitsubishi ’s home theater projectors is the HC6800 . This model features an impressive 30000:1 contrast ratio, 1500 ANSI lumens, and 1080p HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Today, the writers from Home Theater Magazine released their review of this projector. The first thing the writers comment about is the design. The HC6800 comes with a slightly curved chassis with recessed connection panel that is hard to reach if you mount it to the ceiling. The writers put the projector through a number of image quality tests and the only concern that they had was with the black levels. They found that the HC6800 could not go below black, which makes adjusting the image difficult. The writers were happy with the HC6800’s noise level. The 20 dB noise level is quiet enough to keep from being heard during movies. The final conclusion about the HC6800 was, “Overall, the Mitsubishi produces a pleasing picture on most sources. Even with the auto iris engaged, dark, low-contrast scenes are hazy enough to be distracting. In a direct comparison with the Epson, the latter’s superiority in shadow detail was painfully obvious. But things aren’t quite that simple. Even at roughly half the price, the Mitsubishi’s resolution of detail was noticeably crisper than the Epson’s. Resolution alone isn’t quite enough for me to push it over the top. Dark scene performance and contrast are too important to me. But with its very attractive pricing (apart from a rather high lamp-replacement cost), respectable performance on most program material, and striking detail on the best sources, the Mitsubishi just might work for you.” [via Home Theater Magazine ]

Enjoy your CES peek at Samsung’s ultrathin 9000 series LED-lit LCD HDTV , with its touchscreen, video displaying remote control (also available as a $350 add-on for the 7000, 8000,and 750 series televisions) and 3D capability? That’s good, because bringing the 55-inch UN55C9000 home in April will cost you a cool $6,999 (the thrifty can slum it with the 46-inch version for $5,999.) Still, if you’re just looking to jump in on 3D without spending the max money, the cheapest model available at first will be the standard LCD LN46C750 available in May. In between, there’s all manner of LED (most of them listed above, both with and without 3D capabilities) or old-school CCFL backlit LCDs plus a healthy lineup of plasmas arriving over the next few months, so with a note that grabbing 3D Blu-ray player and display at the same time will net a couple free pairs of active shutter glasses and a copy of the Monsters vs. Aliens 3D Blu-ray, check Samsung’s site for each type to see what your budget can handle. Samsung’s 2010 3DTVs priced from $1,700 to ridiculous and everywhere in between originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:59:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink ?|?

The JVC DLA-RS35U projector is one of the company’s many high quality home theater models. It comes with 900 ANSI lumens, 1080p HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, and an impressive 70000:1 contrast ratio. Today, the writers from Projector Reviews got the opportunity to release their review of the RS35U. The writers were happy to test the RS35U mainly because it recently won a Hot Product Award and because it’s the predecessor of the DLA-RS25U , which was another quality projector that the writers reviewed. One of the first things they mention about is the projector placement. The RS35U comes with a lot of adjustment room and has several features to help. Another quality they liked was the projector’s brightness. The RS35U is not as bright as several other home theater models, but the light system used is incredible air tight and doesn’t allow any light to leak out. This means that the image is getting the full brightness of the lamp. When the writers were done they realized that the RS35U doesn’t have any major weaknesses. The brightness and contrast could use some improvement, but they were considered minor. In the end they stated, “If you’ve got the funds on hand, I’d suggest you either plunk down for the JVC RS35, or, better still, transfer the money into my checking account, and I’ll buy one, and provide you an occasional report on how much I’m enjoying “your” home theater projector.” [via Projector Review ]

When most people build their own home theater the results is usually something simple. But Paul Snyder decided to go all out and turn his spare bedroom into a theater, literally. Paul is a visual artist by trade and he is used to detail. He knew exactly what he wanted the theater to be and decided to build it from scratch. Everything from the molding to ticket booth was hand crafted. The home theater resembles a classic theater that includes a red and gold color scheme that gives the room a very elegant feel. The most remarkable aspect of the theater is the life sized manikins that Paul created and sculpted to look like some of his favorite movie characters. Some of the figures include Jack Sparrow at the ticket booth, Frank Sinatra swinging from the ceiling, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Darth Vadar, and the Terminator. Paul decided to include 12 original theater seats that sit guests in front of the 110 inch screen. The projector selected was the Optoma HD70, which features 1000 ANSI lumens, HD (1280 x 720) resolution, and a 4000:1 contrast ratio. [via Electronic House ]

The home owners of this theater originally didn’t even want it. The basement looked exactly as it did back in the 70s and they were content with that. However, when they asked developers from TriPhase Technologies to update the living quarters of the house, the developers talked the family into turning the old room into a new theater, bar, and wine cellar. The main reason that the owners gave in was because the rest of the house was being connected to a new Control4 system and the designers said that the theater could easily be connected as well. The Control4 system allows the owners to control several elements of the house including lighting, TVs, game systems, security system, and even the thermostat. The theater is more laid back and features some comfy sofa sections instead of the traditional row seating. The 122” screen is paired with a Planar home theater projector. The projector was also fitted with an anamorphic lens in order to fill the screen with the image. [via Electronic House ]

We’ve had only tantalizingly brief (or is it briefly tantalizing?) chances to see LG’s glorious OLED television , but each and every time it’s left us with the feeling that our lives are poorer for not having one in our homes. Sure, that says as much about our tech addiction as it does about the 3mm-thick displays, but at least the deep-pocketed among us won’t have to wait too much longer to sate the need for 10,000,000:1 contrast ratios and 0.001ms response times. LG has announced it’ll be bringing it’s 15-inch OLED panel to Europe this May (to be swiftly followed by summer availability in the US) with a hefty MSRP sticker of €1,999 ($2,725) for the Austrian market. Nobody ever said the cutting edge was gonna be a cheap place to live. LG’s 15-inch 15EL9500 OLED TV sets sail for Europe, scheduled to arrive this May originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:06:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

Epson is proud to announce today that it recently shipped its 60 millionth 3LCD projector. This event is a milestone in the company’s 20 year history with 3LCD display technology. Epson has announced that part of their success is with the expansion of digital projector use. Originally, projectors were only used for business presentations, but now the market has expanded to include classrooms, auditoriums, advertising, places of worship, large-venues, and many more fields. The projector has also changed from its original 4:3 aspect ratio and has included widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and a wider still 16:10 ratio. These two ratios were spread with the spread of widescreen PC displays, digital broadcasts, and HD video players. Epson plans to continue to support the growing range of projector applications by combining its cutting-edge liquid crystal, high-aperture ratio, and other original technologies to expand and enhance its HTPS lineup with panels that further raise the performance of 3LCD projectors.
