A movie beamer fit for Batman

It's black and has menacing wings sculpted like a futuristic stealth fighter. The French Cineversum BlackWing One is a full-HD home theater projector based on a three-chip LCoS engine similar to JVC's D-ILA and Sony's SXRD. Despite a hefty US$6,500 sticker price, the BlackWing One is currently the most affordable model in its lineup comprising the US$9,995 BlackWing Two and US$13,500 BlackWing Three.

For your money, you'll get out-of-the-box factory-calibrated D65 colors, a high-performance HQV video processor and two HDMI inputs. Unlike most LCoS-based beamers, the BlackWing One is also capable of projecting a bright image at 1,400 ANSI lumens, though dynamic contrast is a little low at 15,000:1.
