If you thought the Sanyo 3D projector we’ve shown you a couple of days ago was impressive, think again: today the company announced [JP] the LP-HF1000L, a projector for “professional use” that not only boasts 2K (2,048×1,080) resolution but also produces 10,000 lumens brightness. According to Sanyo, no other projector in the industry can keep up with that number (via AC 100V, at least).

The device features Sanyo’s proprietary QuaDrive optical engine [PDF] to boost color quality, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, LAN, an HDMI port, and two 380W NSHA lamps.

In Japan, Sanyo plans to start selling the LP-HF1000L on October 22 with an open price model (no word yet on an international release).
