Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080 UB, Cheapest 1080p Projector in the World
We got a close-up look at the Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080 UB projector we scooped for you the other day, the cheapest 1080p projector in the world at an unofficial $2699 (but that might not be the exact number, according to Epson). Epson added a new chipset that raised its native (not dynamic) contrast ratio to 5000:1. We got an eyes-on demo, and liked what we saw. And check out that wild-ass attachment hanging on its front.

We just got the scoop from Epson: the company says it will indeed deliver that new-and-improved 1080p projector that we told you about earlier today to the United States this December. It will be called the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 UB, and most startling of all is its price: $2699, a full $300 less than its predecessor and the lowest price yet for a 1080p projector. That's full 1080p, 50,000:1 contrast ratio and 1600 lumens. Take the jump for the full fact sheet scoop, ship date and a gallery of pics.

Epson Premiere Ensemble, The Ultimate Do-It-Yourself Hi-Def Home Cinema System
Home cinema means high-def projector, surround-sound speakers, a booming subwoofer, and putting some custom installer's kid through college. Epson knows projector setup is a pain, so it has developed the Premiere Ensemble a system that's supposed to get you from in-the-box to in-the-couch in four hours. It's not cheap: the kit that includes a 1080p projector will cost $7,000 and the 720p option is $5,000. But as long as you've got a trusty studfinder and a B+ in shop class, you should be able to cobble it together. It's not just a do-it-yourself kit, either—hidden within the structure is an innovative 5.1 sound system that rather kicks ass.More »

1080p Smackmodo Pits Panasonic vs. Epson Projectors
Since we favorably reviewed the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 projector that's now shipping for a mere $3000, we felt compelled to also review the Panasonic PT-AE1000U, especially since Panny reduced its price to exactly the same $3000 level as soon as the Epson model was released. More »

Hands On the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1080: How Much 1080p-ness Can you Get for $3K?
When we first received an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 projector earlier this week, we were eager to take it into our test theater for a look-see, wondering just how much projector you can get for your $3000 these days. Surely there must be a catch to a 1080p projector that costs so comparatively little. It didn't look like it was missing anything when we looked at the spec list: Packed with three LCDs, this puppy has the latest HDMI 1.3 input in the back, a quoted 12,000:1 contrast ratio, that Blu-ray and HD DVD-friendly resolution of 1080p, and it doesn't look half bad, either.

Dealzmodo: $1,000 Cash Back on Panasonic PT-AE1000U Projector
How does $1,000 off a new Panasonic 1080p projector sound? Pretty good? Maybe Panasonic is feeling generous. Or maybe Panasonic is just feeling the hot breath of Epson on its neck. More »
