It doesn’t matter if it’s an examination of the entire projection category or a more focused look that examines the custom electronics market, just know that Epson projector products are some of the most popular video projector products in the world.
Adding to its home video lineup, Epson has announced its competitively priced Home Cinema 1040 and Home Cinema 1440 (pictured) projectors. According to Jason Palmer, marketing manager, Epson America, the latest Epson projector options provide a cost effective way to bring a true big-screen experience into the home, without spending a lot of money.
[At the beginning of August, two other affordable Epson projector options were also introduced: the Home Cinema 2040 and the Home Cinema 2045.]
“The new projectors offer today’s households a convenient, affordable and powerful big-screen experience,” Palmer points out. “Beyond the flexibility, the Home Cinema 1440 is also one of the brightest home projectors available on the market—this is a flat-panel killer. Why settle for a 65-inch or 70-inch TV when you can have something four times bigger with bright, lifelike, sharp details, a portable design and simple setup for a truly captivating experience even in large, well lit environments.”
Both projectors incorporate three-chip 3LCD chipsets, as well as horizontal image correction with Easy-Slide control technology to guide you through the install process, 1080p resolutions, and HDMI inputs. The Home Cinema 1040 is rated to produce up to 3,000 lumens of color brightness and 3,000 lumens of white level brightness, while the Home Cinema 1440 delivers the ability to produce up to 4,400 lumens of color brightness and 4,400 lumens of white level brightness.
In addition, the Home Cinema 1440 also offers Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing, a 1.6x optical zoom, and a split-screen option to display two different videos or still images side by side.
Epson will start shipping the Home Cinema 1040 and the Home Cinema 1440 projectors sometime in September, with MSRPs of $799 and $1,699, respectively.
