RUNCO wins the award for offering the most unjustifiably overpriced products available. There is nothing special about RUNCO's displays or projectors and others offer better products for much less money. It is not a situation where you pay more and get more. This is not a value issue. It is a situation where people never heard of the company before, the company says, "we are high-end," and charge a huge premium without justification. It is not a question of affordability as much as it is "Do I want to throw money away unnecessarily and not gain any benefit in doing so?"

2.35:1. Runco was the first with it, and still the only one to sell it as an integrated solution. Now they offer it on there whole line. Would I say they offer a great value, not exactly. Would I first look at Sony, Digital Projection, or even one of the new Pansonic or JVC projectors, yea I would. But if you want to build a top end theater with everything 2.35 to 1 native would be on my list.

For those that think this is a waste, it is the only way to not waste a ton of resolution from that 1080p spec chip you just had to have when watching cinemascope movies. IE anything action, big budget.
