McIntosh Video Processor and Projector

Filed under: Gadgets

1080p is the new black in high-end video land. Sister site HDBeat has some awesome deets on the McIntosh (note the spelling - we're talking about the audiophile one, not the computer one) unveiling their new processor and projector at CEDIA. That's right. McIntosh did something video. Don't worry, hell didn't freeze over. All the classic Mc stuff is there - top notch build quality, simple but stunning good looks and something else ... oh yeah, bank account draining price. Over $46k for both; but that gets you 1080p DLP, dual scalers, four (yes, four) HDMI inputs and six each of component, composite and S-video.

What it boils down to is, in the TVs of today, everything is going to be converted to something your set can understand, and picture quality won't suffer if things don't match up.
