Carl Zeiss’ powerdomeVELVET planetarium projector: 2,500,000:1 contrast ratio

Filed under: , ,

We’ve seen dynamic contrast ratios on HDTVs climb as high as 2,000,000:1, but an in-house design from the famed Carl Zeiss blows that right out of the water. The powerdomeVELVET planetarium projector was obviously not designed with home cinema in mind, though the specifications are no less impressive. We’ve got a 2,500,000:1 contrast ratio, DLP

/ BrilliantColor technologies, a 1,200p native resolution and a DVI input. Not like you’re actually considering one for your own domed theater, but it’ll be available for a small fortune in Q1 2009.
