Now available in the UK are the new QuantumColor Series projectors from Runco, using the company's new InifiniLight lampless LED illumination to "provide an infinite light source that creates an energy-efficient projector with the widest colour gamut ever seen in home theatre projection".

The new models also consume 70% less power than conventional projectors, have an InstantOn system to remove the need for a 'standby' mode, and also promise greater reliability due to their lack of a colour wheel or mechanical iris.

In addition the projectors offer a wider-than-ever colour gamut thanks to the company's Personal Color Equalizer and SmartColor hue compensation curve.

Runco claims it is the first to "harness LED illumination 'properly', to deliver a projector that has it all – no lamp to replace, never-before-seen colours, high reliability, [and] low power consumption".

The two models are the one-box £17,995 Q-750i, and the £20,995 Q-750D, which comes complete with the company's latest DHD external controller/processor. They're distributed in the UK by Pulse Marketing.
