Anthem LTX500 LCoS\u00a0Video Projector<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paradigm’s high-end electronics line, Anthem, is delving into video display with a pair of re-branded JVC LCoS projectors.\u00a0 The JVC LCoS front projectors are about the best I have seen and Anthem hopes to bring\u00a0their customary\u00a0high level of service with the products.<\/p>\n

I saw the LTX500 demonstrated with the Black Diamond Screen from Screen Innovations<\/a>.\u00a0 The Black Diamond allows a front projector to throw up a good image even in a well-lit room.\u00a0 This is\u00a0a game changer since you usually need total darkness (or close to it) to consider going with a\u00a0front projection system.\u00a0 In both a lit room as well as total darkness the LTX500\/Black Diamond produced a pinpoint-sharp, colorful and deep image that will make a videophile’s mouth water.\u00a0\u00a0Given the paucity of good TVs over 65″ in size, the Black Diamond gives hope to those of us who like their images really big and really beautiful.<\/p>\n

Screen Innovations is not a part of Paradigm, but shares a common investor so the two companies will be teaming up to provide complete front projection systems delivered and installed in white-glove style.\u00a0 It’s an extremely promising development and at $7,499 for the top of the line LTX500 and $5,499 for the LTX300, quite affordable as high-end video projection goes.\u00a0 If I was in the market, this is what I would buy.<\/p>\n
