BenQ offers X1200 with First DLP 4K UHD LED Home Cinema Projector
X12000 combines exclusive cinematicColor technology and Philips colorSpark HLD LED technology for digital cinema Quality color in 8.3 Million Pixels.
BenQ introduced the ultimate digital home cinema projector X12000, a 4K UHD projector that balances the wide-gamut high-brightness output of Philips ColorSpark HLD LEDs with world-exclusive CinematicColor Technology to accurately produce the DCI-P3 color space. Defined by the digital film industry, the DCI-P3 color gamut encompasses a significantly larger portion of the visible color spectrum, proving far more colors than Rec. 709 and sRGB. With 8.3 million distinct pixels to fully meet Consumer Technology Association's (CTA) 4K UHD specification, X12000 delivers the authentic experience of attending a commercial digital cinema.
- 4K UHD with Razor-Sharp True 8.3 Million Pixel Detail
- Distinct Clarity Without Artifacts from Panel Misalignment
- Superb CinematicColor DCI-P3 Color Accuracy for Unmatched Digital Cinema Experience
- ColorSpark HLD LED Technology for a New Level of Brightness for Well-Lit Environments
- H/V Lens Shift & Big Zoom Lens for Installation Flexibility
- Instant On/Off and Lamp Maintenance Free
“The meeting of two pinnacles of visual technology, X12000’s pioneering CinematicColor Technology harnesses the high output of ColorSpark HLD LED Technology to bring DCI-P3 color quality into the home cinema,” said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation. “DCI-P3 is the color standard of DLP digital cinema, derived from the same technology in use at all IMAX auditoriums worldwide.”
Perfect Balance of High Brightness and Color Accuracy
Revolutionary Philips ColorSpark HLD LED technology provides a wide color gamut with up to three times screen brightness by combining green light four times as bright as conventional green LEDs from its High Lumen Density phosphor module with high-brightness red and blue LEDs, generating 2,200 lumens of brightness for use in well-lit rooms. X12000’s industry-exclusive CinematicColor Technology hones this wider color gamut and higher brightness to produce the expansive DCI-P3 color gamut, equaling the high standards of commercial digital cinema.
Spectacular 4K UHD Picture Quality to Rival Commercial Digital Cinemas
X12000 utilizes the advanced DLP 4K UHD DMD with XPR technology for 3840 x 2160 distinct pixels and true 8.3-millionpixel 4K UHD resolution. Single-DMD DLP technology preserves precise color accuracy and image integrity and color accuracy without artifacts caused by panel misalignment, especially critical for 4K pixels which are much finer than 1080p. And X12000’s sophisticated 4K optical system delivers stunning visual quality to replicate an authentic digital cinema experience with 14 high-resolution elements, a true zoom system, and special low-dispersion lens coatings.
Fitting perfectly into modern home cinema settings, X12000 features streamlined design with sleek front-facing ventilation. Its unobstructed port architecture provides ample space to accommodate thick high-quality cables and HDMI / power cable locks to secure them in place. X11000 also offers H/V lens shift and 1.5X big zoom to fit perfectly into home cinemas of any size. Powered by ultimately durable Digital Light Processing, the 2015 Academy Award of Merit Oscar winning technology used in 90% of the world’s digital cinemas, X12000 delivers long-lasting DLP picture quality with precise colors and razor-sharp clarity coupled with a maintenance-free LED light source.

Sounds kidney-selling expensive! (though even that could be not enough) =)
Still very cool! The only problem is the lack of proper media content to watch...
My thought precisely. I've always wanted a projector for home higher than 1080p, but my guess is that this one would cost more than a 65" 4k TV.

I was thinking to go this way for home cinema earlier, but after much research figured a huge TV would both give a better and cheaper result in my room. I went with a 75" 4K Samsung TV and I'm very happy with the choice. I sit 3 meter away from it when it's at the wall - and I can swivel it out 60cm leaving it as close as I'd ever want it - which makes it a really huge picture to look at.

The day planet earth 2 comes out in 4k (natively shot in it) then will be the time 4k is worth it

Sony has had one available for over a year, the VPL-VW365ES but its nearly $13000.00.... I've got the Epson 6040 which is awesome but its not true 4K. BenQ is your budget brand and was my first projector, but the quality compared to the two Epson 5030 and 6040 just is so poor I wouldn't want to go back to BenQ...
Give it another year and we will see some more quality oriented projectors at True 4K.
