Marantz VP11S1 (black) Projector
The Marantz VP11S1 projector has been reviewed over at ZDNet. 'LCD and LCoS projector manufacturers have had 1080p resolution projectors on the market for a couple of years now, including models such as the excellent Sony VPL-VW100 that we reviewed last year. Enter Marantz, who managed to beat all the front projection DLP makers to market with the VP11S1, the first available one-chip DLP projector with the highly coveted 1,920x1,080 (1080p) resolution chip set. Now the three display technologies--LCD, LCoS, and DLP--are on more of a level playing field in terms of performance, features, and specs. Sure we had a couple of complaints, but overall, the Marantz VP11S1 is a very formidable performer in the category. And it better be, because this projector lists for a penny under $20,000. For the few who can afford it, the VP11S1 comes close to the ultimate in home theater image quality.'
