New high def projector offerings from Epson

Today, Epson announced the release of four brand new projectors: PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 and 8500 UB, and Pro Cinema 9100 and 9500 UB. Each of these projectors will project 1080p high definition and are intended for home use. The 8100 is the budget friendly version with the 9100 and 9500 being the more high tech and pricier models.

The Home Cinema 8100 will have contrast ratio of up to 36,000:1 and brightness of 1,800 lumens while the 8500 expands on these features with the introduction of new Super Resolution technology which includes refined frame interpolation in order to provide the user with crystal clear images. The Pro Cinema 9100 has 36,000:1 contrast ratio and brightness of 1,800 lumens along with the inclusion of ISF calibration and color isolation.

The highest end unit of the new series is the 9500. Expect features like 200,000:1 contrast ratio, real color reproduction, and frame interpolation. In addition, the home theater projector has an anamorphic lens mode, ISF calibration, color isolation, and pre-set color space selection.

The Home Cinema and Pro Cinema series will be released in late October. Pricing information for the units will be available at that time.
