SIM2’s DOMINO line — okay, SIM2’s entire line — isn’t known for being the cheapest bunch. The new DOMINO D60, however, is actually affordable by said company’s standards, checking in at just 4,995 US dollars. This 1080p beamer is based on Texas Instruments’ DarkChip3 0.95-inch DMD chipset and includes a single-chip DLP projection system, BrilliantColor, three different preset modes (Cinema, Dynamic, and Standard) and three user-customizable memories. It’s shipping now for those with fat wallets.

Well, would you take a look at that. Right on cue, Dolby and SIM2 are collaboratively showcasing a 46-inch 1080p display built around the former firm’s high dynamic range technology. The HDR-enabled LCD HDTV boasts 1,836 LED-based backlight units (designed / developed by SIM2), a full 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, brightness level greater than 4,000 cd/m2, an “infinite” contrast ratio, 16-bits of luminance and a Xilinx Virtex field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) chipset. Additionally, the prototype employs a design created by Giorgio Revoldini, and while we can’t imagine hearing of a release date anytime soon, the two firms aren’t wasting any time putting the new set on a world tour to presumably wow onlookers. Hey SED, you taking notes here?

Sim2′s back with another wallet-busting HD projector aimed at the crazy home cinema crowd. This time it’s the new PRO5000, which will officially debut at the ISE conference in Amsterdam on January 31st. The 3-chip DLP rig boats 1080p resolution, EASYCINEMA color calibration, and adjustable, interchangeable projection lenses that enable the unit to work in a variety of theater sizes. Sim2 isn’t being exactly forthcoming with pricing details, but knowing the company, you’d best be driving something that ends in Royce to join the party.

It’s certainly not for everyone, but those willing to tread into five-digit territory for the benefit of their home theater may want to consider Sim2’s just-announced Domino 80E projector which, at $12,000 is actually a bit of a bargain compared to some of the company’s other projectors. For that price, you’ll of course get a full 1080p projector, along with DarkChip3 DLP technology, a 4,500:1 contrast ratio, and just about every port you could want. As if that wasn’t enough, you can also add an optional 2.35:1 anamorphic lens adapter, which apparently doesn’t require an external processor to change the aspect ratio and, no doubt just as importantly for some, you can get it in your choice of white or matte black finishes.

It’s been a tick since we’ve seen a swank new projector from SIM2, but on paper, it looks like the wait was worth it. The firm’s new-generation version of the Grand Cinema C3X (dubbed C3X 1080) features a gorgeous Giorgio Revoldini-designed chassis, TI’s brand new DarkChip 4 DLP device, a 10-bit video processor, HD scaling and deinterlacing capabilities, 1080p24 support, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and color-management software that enables installers to “precisely match each projector to its home theater environment.” Additionally, you’ll find a pair of selectable HDCP-compliant HDMI jacks, component / S-Video / composite / VGA ports, RS-232 / USB control sockets, IR-sensor inputs, 12-volt trigger outputs and an optical digital audio socket. This 22-pounder, which ships in high-gloss gunmetal, black, red and gold, is likely to keep your eyes affixed for days on end, but only if you’ve got $31,995 to spare. Check out a few more colors in the gallery over at Engadget HD, and watch the drool, will ya?
