Runco's first 3Dimension projector uses passive glasses $49k

Post by Silversurfer »

The Ferrari of the projector world kicks off its version of 3D at CEDIA with the 3Dimension Series projectors which surprisingly use passive glasses instead of the battery operated active ones. The big catch of course is the price of $49,995 for the D-73 pictured above, and the fact that the glasses are proprietary and not the standard RealD glasses you've used at your local cinema. Obviously there are a wide range of inputs and controls including HDMI 1.4 (no 1.4a?) and RS-232 for the home automation fans. The D-73 starts shipping in the fourth quarter for those lucky enough to afford such luxuries and the full press release is available after the break while you wait.

I love the aesthetic appeal but I have to ask, how many free glasses will they throw-in for that price, I bet it is just the one or two? for that price I expect to cover my in-laws glasses requirements as well!
