Greetings All!
OK, I’ve already blogged about the Epson Pro Cinema 7500 UB, but missed a few details. First of all, the pricing, will be under $5000 (which sounds a lot like $4999 to me, but we shall see). Final pricing is not yet set. I will update the first blog with this same information.
So, let’s talk Epson Home Cinema 6500 UB. First of all, it is not officially announced yet, and it sounds like it won’t ship until December. That means some of this info may not be completely accurate, as the product isn’t finalized yet. Normally I don’t worry much about products 3 months out, but it seemed that Epson was releasing a fair amount of information, to the CEDIA public, and I can’t rationalize keeping a secret, since much of the information is already circulating!

Greetings from my last day at CEDIA. I’ve got less than 10 minutes to head back over to the show, so this will be brief.
Epson showed several new projectors, and I’ll discuss them in more depth later, but the basics are – the Epson Home Cinema 6100 is their new entry level 1080p projector, with a price tag of $1999! This model claims, I believe 18,000:1 contrast, so, in terms of black levels it likely won’t quite match the current Home Cinema 1080 UB, but better than the standard Home Cinema 1080 (15,000:1) There are a number of other improvements however.
Next is the new Pro Cinema 7500 UB, this is Epson’s top of the line. Geez, it only claims 75,000:1 contrast ratio, Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings all,
OK, The CEDIA expo show floor opens tomorrow, but I’m spending much of today at press conferences. So, far, I’ve been to Panasonic’s where they rolled out the new PT-AE3000U 1080p home theater projector.
And I picked up a press kit for Mitsubishi, with whom I’m meeting with later this week. While Mitsubishi is already advertising their new Diamond 1080p home theater projector, I was surprised and pleased to see an announcement for the HD8000, which I will also discuss below. Mind you I haven’t seen either of these work, and in the case of Mitsubishi, the HD8000 press release leaves some things unanswered. Read the rest of this entry »
