"Epson's new home theater projectors bring the big-screen home at an accessible price point delivering Full 1080p, color and white light output, 2D and 3D performance, and installation flexibility," said Jason Palmer, marketing manager, Epson America. "Equipped with value-add features such as advanced Epson Video processing, built-in color modes and intuitive image correction, these projectors offer powerful tools that enrich the immersive media projection experience."
The newly designed Home Cinema 2040 and 2045 portable projectors deliver an enhanced optical engine, improved LCD panel, up to 35,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, advanced Epson video processing, plus state-of-the-art Detail Enhancement that takes surface detail to another level. An improved iris by New Wing(® )produces incredibly deep blacks by more efficiently controlling the light reduction rate. In addition, the projectors feature built-in sound with the capability to add speakers, enabling users to enhance any movie experience. The Home Cinema 2045 adds wireless streaming via Miracast(®) and Intel WiDi(®). Connect an Apple TV(®), Chromecast, GoPro(®), Roku(®5) and more to easily display media content(4).
Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness (color light output), and Epson projectors have up to 3x Higher Color Brightness than leading competitive projectors(6), and feature 25 percent lower power consumption for lower energy costs(7). The Home Cinema 2040 and 2045 utilize 3LCD, 3-chip technology for brilliant images with vivid color, and also feature four pre-set color modes, allowing users to play their favorite video games or watch TV programs just about anywhere.
Added Features of Epson's 2D and 3D Full HD 1080p Lineup
The Home Cinema 2040 and 2045 are housed in a white, compact design and offer several features to meet a range of home entertainment needs, including:
-- 3LCD Quality and Reliability: 3LCD, 3-chip technology delivers
incredible color, amazing detail and road-tested reliability with no
possibility of color break-up or "rainbow effect."
-- Advanced Image Processing: Epson's advanced image processing technology
allows users to enjoy a clearer, sharper image. The projector's Image
Enhancement function enables digital noise reduction and MPEG noise
reduction, as well as Detail Enhancement, which refines surface detail
for true-to-life images that pop off the screen.
-- Bright 3D Drive Technology: Minimizes the blackout time of 3D glasses
and provides greater brightness of 3D images.
-- MHL Supported: Supports Full HD 1080p video and 7.1 audio and enables
users to simultaneously charge their MHL-enabled device when it's
plugged into the projector. Projector remote supports MHL-enabled
devices.
-- Versatile Connectivity: Two HDMI inputs (one MHL-enabled), Component
Video, USB Type A digital connection, and USB 2.0 to share photos and
slideshows.
-- Rechargeable RF Glasses: Watch up to 40 hours of exciting 3D content, or
up to three hours with a three-minute quick charge(8), with glasses sold
separately.
