Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 720 Projector Has a Rock-Bottom Price
Epson stretches deep into the cheap seats with its PowerLite Home Cinema 720 (the similar Home Cinema 400 is pictured here), figuring in a lot of the higher-end attributes of its Epson Home Cinema 1080 big brother at a rock-bottom price of $1,299. Out back there's an HDMI port and all the other usual suspects, and its three LCD chips can rock 1600 lumens, 10-bit color processing and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio with the best of them. If all you're watching is broadcast/cable/satellite HDTV, which maxes out at 1080i/720p, its 720p rez will probably be looking pretty damn good. [Electronista]

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.

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.

Epson PowerLite Cinema 400 Projector: LCD-Driven, and HD Ready
The Epson PowerLite Cinema 400 Projector is a follow up to last year's PowerLite Cinema 550. Comparatively, this new model is priced at $1599.99 ($900 dollars less), with 1500 lumens (vs 1400), and the same 720p resolution. It's nice to see HD projectors dropping in price—in five years time, we'll see them in cracker jack boxes. Like other LCD projectors, this one will likely suffer from shallower blacks than a competing DLP model that uses little mirrors to reflect light from a color wheel. Which is why it uses a dynamic iris to adjust lamp intensity, scene to scene. That's also how it achieves its fakey contrast ratio rating of 5000:1. Has the usual video inputs, but surprises us with an HDMI plug, too. I'd hook my Xbox 360 up to this. Project Gotham is still a fav, and this machine can put a 10-foot image across a wall at 12-feet away. More »
