$1000 for a 2000 lumen projector isn’t bad, especially when it comes with Android TV; which will cover all the OTT/streaming providers. But, with a native resolution of 1280×800, don’t expect super crisp PQ from the 150″ max projection. Epson Redefines the Big-Screen Streaming Experience with a Smart Streaming Laser Projector with Android TV With 3-Chip Laser Projection Technology and […]

If you’ve been shopping 4K UHD projectors, you know that there isn’t really much out there in the “affordable” range. So Epson’s new $2,000 Home Cinema 4010 “PRO-UHD” projector massively shifts the playing field here. Of course there are a couple caveats that come with the price tag; mainly the lack of Dolby Vision HDR support, and that this isn’t […]

As home theater enthusiasts we all want a projector. That’s a fact. Of course our housing, lifesytle, cost, and partner choices come into play – which is why most of us probably don’t have one :). Short throw models make it much easier to install and place a projector, but have carried a massive price premium for the convenience. With […]

In what must be an attempt to corner the affordable projector market Epson has announced five home cinema projects ranging in price from $359 to $900. Which means there should be something for pretty much anyone considering a projector to add to their maybe list. Epson today announced five new affordable Home Cinema projectors – offering consumers versatile options for […]

If you really want a 4K projector, but can’t quite stomach the current prices. The Epson 4000 might be just the thing. It’s a 1080p projector that supports HDR10 (sadly not Dolby Vison) and 4K input, then downscales to the native resolution. Which should provide a superior image than standard 1080p sources. The best part is of course the price […]

Projectors are awesome. There really isn’t a better way to get that massive movie screen. But, unless you have rigid light control you are very liimited in where you can take advantage of all that goodness. Epson is claiming to have that sorted, or at least more so, with their new Home Cinema 1450 – which is specifically designed for […]

Ranging from $1,300-$2,000, the three consumer 1080p projectors are the most afforable of the set. But, if your pockets are a bit deeper (OK, quite a lot deeper), there’s also a Laser model in the mix. It’s also 1080p, but will support 4K + HDR input, and carries a CI targeted $8,000 MSRP. Today at CEDIA 2016, Epson announced four […]

You would be forgiven for thinking that this pair of ~$3k LCD projectors support 4K, and they do, sort of… It’s not spelled out explicitly in the PR (aside from the “signal input” bit), but these are really just 1080p, that accept a 4K input and downscale it. HDR compatiblity is a plus, but I didn’t see which formats will […]

I think Chris pretty much nails the main reason why you would consider an LCD projector in this (<$1000) price range over DLP – rainbows. I don’t see them, but they are a real, blocking issue for some… We’ve reviewed a number of sub-$1,000 projectors here but they’re all had one thing in common: they are DLP-based. For many people, […]

I recently heard that the trend of dedicated home theaters in new homes is going down. That’s too bad. But whether you have a dedicated room or not, Epson looks to have a nice entry level 3D projector. Epson’s 3D lineup also includes the step-up Home Cinema 5010 and its custom-market counterpart, the Pro Cinema 6010. The 3010 and 5010 […]
