New projector range brings high-end home cinema to the masses

Offering more movie fans high-end cinematic technology, Epson announces three new top-of-the-range 3D home cinema projectors – including a stripped-down version for movie lovers who want to enjoy immersive, big-screen experiences on a budget. With almost twice the contrast ratio of previous models and new MHL connectivity for smartphone and tablet users[1], this range also includes Frame Interpolation in both 2D and 3D mode[2].

The range features the EH-TW9200W, a wireless Full HD[3] model that allows users to connect their Full HD devices to the projector, without having to install them in the same room. The EH-TW9200 is available as a non-wireless version.

The EH-TW7200 offers features usually found in high-end models, such as a wide lens shift and very high contrast ratio, but with a much lower price tag.

All three models are ideal for watching the latest blockbusters with dark, shadowy scenes, thanks to a high contrast ratio, which ensures deeper, crisper blacks. The EH-TW9200W and EH-TW9200 both feature a very high contrast ratio of 600,000:1, while the EH-TW7200 is a very respectable 120,000:1.

The EH-TW9200W is also one of Epson’s first home cinema projectors to allow users to play content directly from their smartphone or tablet – including photos, videos and music –thanks to the MHL port.

Graeme Davidson, business manager, Epson UK, says: “As the number one projector manufacturer across the globe for over a decade[4], we’re always pushing our technology further to offer home users the best possible movie experience. On top of that, all three of our projectors are compatible with USB-rechargeable, Radio Frequency (RF) active shutter 3D glasses[5], included and sold separately at €89.96. With their RF connectivity, these lightweight glasses can be used up to 10 metres from the projector and offer fantastic, immersive 3D entertainment.”

The EH-TW9200W, EH-TW9200 and EH-TW7200 are available from October 2013
