Epson today released a new series of LCD home entertainment projectors for the value of the projection market.
Fans of the home theater include 2040 of the home theater and 2045 of the home theater.
According to Epson, these all-HD models offer "sophisticated cinemas with moderate prices ".
Both projectors claim dynamic height (not native)
The contrast between color and white brightness is 35,000: 1 and 2200 lumens.
Surprisingly, the two models cost $799 and $849 respectively, with video processors that provide detail enhancements and frame interpolation
If you like that.
Home theaters 2040 and 2045 even try to drag the world of projectors into the smart era through their connections.
Both models support playing multimedia files from USB storage devices and via MHL-over-
HDMI protocol lets you play movies, TV shows and video games in HD.
2045 also allows you to wirelessly transfer content through Miracast and Intel's WiDi systems, thus opening compatibility with devices such as Apple TV, Chromecast, GoPro and Roku.
On some previous LCD projectors of Epson, there was a running noise problem with the dynamic Iris system. it is gratifying that both 2040 and 2045 models have adopted an improved "New Wing" Iris design, by controlling the light reduction rate of the projector more effectively, the contrast of the image is significantly enhanced
At the same time, if you are a 3D fan, you will be happy to hear that the home theater 2040 and 2045 projectors not only support 3D playback, but provide it using bright 3D drive technology, thus minimizing the black output time of the active shutter 3D glasses to increase the brightness.
The downside is that neither model comes with standard 3D glasses, so you have to consider the cost of as many glasses as you need.
However, if you buy some, at least these glasses are rechargeable and support fast charging, you can watch videos up to three hours from three minutes of charging time.
If you're looking for a more casual "home" projector solution, Epson has also launched a $649 home theater 740HD.
This drops to a local resolution of 720 p compared to full HD for models 2040 and 2045, and also offers a low contrast of 15000: 1.
However, its brightness is 3000 lumens because it is more likely to be used in a relatively bright room environment.
The 740HD further supports its built-in plug-and-play feature
In the audio system and compact, easy-to-carry/storage design, as well as a range of picture presets designed to quickly adjust projector pictures to suit different room environments.
Its single HDMI jack also supports streaming as well as the usual satellite box/Blu-ray
Ray/games console compatibility.
Last but not least, in the list of family friendly attractions in 740hd, its split screen technology allows you to watch two video streams or two photos at the same time.
Epson Home Theater 2040 and 2045 projectors will be available later this month, while 740HD is scheduled to be available in September.
