[visionlist] Buyers for expensive projector with 768 graylevels?

[Jenny Read]

Calling anyone who might be interested in buying a high-end monochrome 
projector with 768 graylevels.

I'm upgrading my rear-projection system, and looking at single-chip DLP 
F2 projectors from ProjectionDesign 
(http://www.projectiondesign.com/Default.asp?CatID=1522). Since I don't 
use color in my experiments, I'm exploring whether ProjectionDesign 
could supply a customised version of this projector with a clear colour 
wheel. This would give me 3x256=768 graylevels, as well as eliminating 
any "rainbow effect".

Uncustomised, these projectors cost around $16k each, and I'm afraid any 
customisation just for me will be prohibitively expensive. However, I 
thought I might be able to convince ProjectionDesign that there could be 
a scientific market for such a product. If you would potentially be 
interested in buying one or more such projectors for use in your 
experiments, please let me know, along with how many you would buy.
