LG CF3D 3D Projector Arrives May For $10k

LG's 2010 LCD range wasn't the only place 3D cropped up from the company.  SlashGear stopped by to take a look at their new 3D projector, the LG CF3D, which can produce a 3D image from a single projector rather than requiring separate left and right images.  What's really interesting is the price: unlike previous systems, LG's have a consumer focus and will be priced at around $10,000.

Sadly the projectors themselves were trapped behind glass, and LG didn't have a working demo in action for us to check out.  Still, the specifications hold up: 2,500 limens brightness, 7,000:1 contrast and Full HD 1080p resolution, while ports include two HDMI and a USB 2.0.

The magic in the CF3D is LG's Dual Engine processor, which both controls the 3D signal and automatically keeps everything in focus.  According the the LG rep, the CF3D should go on sale in May 2010.
