I don't get the 100 ansi lumens brightness considering today's LED lights put out 180-200 lumens with a Cree emitter or 700-900 using the SSC P7 4-die emitter. What is the problem using a modern LED emitter in these and getting actually decent light output?
Is it a case of the light passing through the projection process that severely limits it? Perhaps it is a case of heat dissipation and they can't heatsink and therefore cool the brighter LED's? We know the LED is nowhere near as hot as the typical incandescent bulb a larger projector has so I doubt heat is the issue.
I wish we could get more engineering details and the challenges they face. I can see getting one of these and replacing the emitter with a modern one and ramping up the light output (read lumens) significantly with a little modding.
Using the GH3 wireless Gibson 360 version and the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver (GoGamer has it for $15) I was able to use it flawlessly on the PC without a single change in configuration (other than lefty flip).
If someone is looking for a wireless solution for the PC then the 360 + wireless gaming receiver is a sweet solution. I use it for my HTPC and can't tell a difference in play from my 360 version even at hard and expert levels.
