Beautiful Spaces

Although both sit in your garage and can take you places, there is a huge difference between a Ferrari and an entry-level commuter car. There is a market for luxury automobiles. And there are custom-designed garage flooring and car maintenance supplies that keep those luxury automobiles in tip-top shape.

Although both will technically keep your beverages cold, a Sub-Zero® fridge is a world away from its apartment-grade equivalent. There is a market for high-end, professional-grade appliances. In fact, it is not uncommon for people to spend more on a built-in outdoor kitchen barbecue than they do for a stove or more for a climate-controlled wine room than they do for a refrigerator.

In other areas of the home, opportunity exists for new brands and solutions to create new lifestyle opportunities in the home: for everyday living and entertaining. There are luxury furniture brands, performance sports equipment, and luxury fabrics and finishes that set apart the upper tier of residences. They help reflect the passions and personality of their owners and reflect on their tastes and priorities.

Yet sadly, the homeowners that appreciate finer brands and high-performance durable goods in their homes and garages often settle for mass-market video products for entertainment purposes. These products often do not reflect the tastes or passions of the homeowner. Runco is poised to change this.

Beautiful and unique spaces call for unique and specialized video. Runco’s legendary product performance, pioneering in home theater and entertainment for several decades, creates new ways to live and play in your home. Combined with Design by Runco™ options, we have created new ways to feel beautiful in your home. Beautiful spaces demand nothing less.

Setting a New Standard for 3D-at-home: The Award-Winning 3Dimension Series D-73d Projector

Thursday, September 23, 2010

Runco is proud to announce the new 3Dimension™ Series D-73d projector. Winner of the 2010 CE Pro Best of the Best Award for 3D Flat Panel & Projectors, Runco’s D-73d delivers exceptional native 1080p DLP 16x9 performance for both 3D and 2D content that is superior to 3D televisions and public 3D theaters.

Using Runco’s proprietary passive glasses approach to 3D, D-73d delivers stereoscopic video reproduction that is unlike anything else in the home or private cinema market. Many of today’s 3D technologies use time-sequential based 3D display systems that flicker the image on and off at the eye, often resulting in eye fatigue and discomfort. D-73d harnesses Runco’s Constant Stereoscopic Video (CSV) technology, which operates based on the science of how the human eye and brain process depth and dimension in real life. Constant images are projected to both the left and right eyes simultaneously, and Runco’s PreciseLight™ passive glasses show the dedicated image to its intended eye without sacrificing refresh rate or introducing flicker. For added style and convenience, optional clip-on, children’s and premium designer passive glasses are also available.

Runco’s CSV technology is combined with Runco’s InfiniLight™ lampless LED technology to offer exceptional performance and the largest color gamut ever available in front projection. Runco’s 3Dimension™ Series D-73d Projector also features the new sleek industrial design, Runco Copenhagen, which utilizes design aesthetic often used by furniture designers and luxury furniture retailers. Coupled with Runco ColourPalette™ for the Climate Portfolio Series, the D-73d projector can be customized to fit a variety of room designs and décors.
