			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever dreamed of having the kind of futuristic video screens you&#8217;ve seen on the walls in science-fiction movies and television shows, you might want to check out these impressive new screens from Runco.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-30421  aligncenter" title="runco_windowwall_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/runco_windowwall_1.jpg" alt="runco windowwall 1" width="600" height="608" /></p>
<p><span id="more-30420"></span>The <a href="http://www.runco.com/_webapp_2981053/Runco_WindowWall">Runco WindowWall</a> is a customizable video wall system, allowing you to seamlessly integrate video into the walls of your home or office.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-30422  aligncenter" title="runco_windowwall_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/runco_windowwall_2.jpg" alt="runco windowwall 2" width="600" height="545" /></p>
<p>A typical WindowWall system come in a 3&#215;3 display configuration, pushing out a native 4098 x 2304 resolution onto a 10.1 foot wide screen, and can tile video from 1080p, 720p and other video sources. Other standard configurations include 1&#215;2, 2&#215;1, 2&#215;2, 2&#215;3, 3&#215;1, 3&#215;2, and 5&#215;4 grids to fit into whatever wall space you have to work with. You can even arrange the displays onto curved surfaces. Runco also offers custom configurations to suit your every giant-video-wall whim.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-30423  aligncenter" title="runco_windowwall_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/runco_windowwall_3.jpg" alt="runco windowwall 3" width="600" height="377" /></p>
<p>Each LCD &#8220;tile&#8221; in the grid measures just 46&#8243; diagonally, 4.5&#8243; thick, weighs 48 lbs, and is separated by a small gap between tiles that&#8217;s 0.28&#8243; wide, so while the image has some seams, they&#8217;re pretty unobtrusive. Each panel is set into a special &#8220;Tile Align&#8221; mounting system which ensures the displays are properly aligned on your wall.</p>
<p>No word on pricing for these panels, but I suppose if you have to ask, you probably can&#8217;t afford it.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.runco.com/projectors.html">Runco VX</a> (Video Extreme) series of DLP front projectors come in a number of models designed to handle a variety of different installation needs, but all require a sizeable investment:</p>
<ul>
<li>VX-2000d: Single Chip DLP / 1280&#215;1080 /220W UHP Lamp ($16,995)</li>
<li>VX-6000d: Single Chip DLP / 1920&#215;1080 / 220W UHP Lamp ($35,995)</li>
<li>VX-22d: Three Chip DLP / 1920&#215;1080 /300W Lamp ($44,995)</li>

<li>VX-55d: Three Chip DLP / 1920&#215;1080 /1200W Xenon Lamp ($114,995)</li>
</ul>
<p>All of the VX projectors come with Runco&#8217;s DHD controller, which now offers HDMI input capability. The higher end models feature interchangeable lenses and all models can be upgraded with Runco&#8217;s CineWide technology allow for full 2:35 to 1 CinemaScope movies to be shown in their original format without black bars.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.thx.com/news/20060913A.html">THX Certified Display program</a> evaluates the quality of display color, luminence, contrast, uniformity, resolution, video processing quality among other tests. Only displays which pass these rigorous tests are awarded the THX badge. Now if only I could afford one.</p>
