Full house at the Kinepolis flagship cinema in Lomme, France, last week. The whole 'Who's Who' of the French cinema world was present to experience the European debut of Barco's unique DP4K-60L laser projector. Their feedback? The laser-powered première of the 'Hobbit -Battle of the Five Armies received glowing praise, just like it did in Brussels one day later. For those attending tonight's première in Madrid: prepare yourself to be impressed!

Next step in trusted partnership
Both Barco and Kinepolis are thrilled about the kick-off of laser on the European continent, which is the next big step in their long-term partnership. "The laser experience is truly amazing; there's nothing like this on the market," says Eddy Duquenne, CEO of Kinepolis Group. "We are confident that our investment in the laser-illuminated projectors will really help us bring the movie experience to new levels and offer our customers exceptional cinema moments. Barco is the perfect partner to support us along the way."

Stunning experience
The first online reviews confirm that laser really is the next big thing. "The laser projector provides a wider gamut of colors; more depth and more contrast, with brighter white and darker blacks. Seated in one of the theater's comfortable chairs, we had the most startling cinema experience," we read in one of the reviews.
