Barco’s HDQ-2K40 is a whopping 40,000-lumen DLP projector, that caused the judges to take notice as much for its sheer power as for a price that’s only around 25% higher than the company’s 22,000-lumen FLM-R22+. “Barco ups the ante again,” says one judge. “Dramatically increasing both resolution and brightness, this projector is making vibrant projection design possible even in the most challenging lighting circumstances, while allowing content design to finally plumb the gorgeous depths of 2K detail.” And no one is wasting time letting others be the guinea pig testers of the new product. “It has been immediately embraced by the rental industry, and it can already be seen on many of the most high-profile projects,” says a judge.
