Epson: Epson Powerlite
built 634 days ago
Epson came through with two new interesting LCD projectors for the business market today with the EMP-1815 and EMP-1810. While basically the same projector sharing the majority of the same features such as an amazingly bright 3500 lumens and 500:1 contrast as well as XGA (1024 x 768) Epson 3LCD panels. Connectivity is ... the same with two D-Sub 15 Pin inputs and one output, S-video, and Composite RCA. What seperates the two is the EMP-1815’s Compact Flash and USB slots for PC-free presentations. The EMP-1815 also offers integrated wireless networking, though it doesn’t specifically mention which 802.11 standard it is compliant with. While available in Japan this March, it will take a few more months until they reach North America under the PowerLite name.

Today at CEDIA Expo 2007, Epson America unveiled its first home theater projector to take advantage of these engineering breakthroughs with the Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 1080 UB. This new flagship model is built upon the new D7 chip set with C2Fine, a new inorganic substrate that uses 12-bit video processing and a new polarizing light filter. With this new technology, the Pro Cinema 1080 UB can deliver incredible blacks with excellent tone response in addition to elevating contrast ratios to much higher levels than previous models. Furthermore, by achieving brightness levels as high as 1,600 ANSI lumens, the new Pro Cinema 1080 UB is even well-suited for rooms where ambient light can't always be eliminated.
