Sony VPL-HW30ES Projector offers 2D and 3D Performance
UPDATE: The Sony VPL-HW30ES projector review has been posted!
OK, here’s the scoop on our third recent projector arrival for review, Sony’s new VPL-HW30ES – replacement for their VPL-VWPro1, which first and foremost, adds 3D abilities.
Reportedly the HW30ES shares the same panels as the far more expensive Mitsubishi HC9000D and Sony’s own VPL-VW95ES (we previously reviewed last year’s VW90ES). For $3500 the VPL-HW30ES projector should prove to be another formidable LCoS projector. Brightness specs are

Epson's $1599 Home Cinema 3010 - a 2D and 3D Projector
Greetings all of you folks that have just been dying to learn more about Epson’s new, and least expensive 3D capable 1080p projector; the Home Cinema 3010.
The Home Cinema 3010 projector has an MSRP of $1599, and includes two pair of 3D glasses (and internal emitter). There is also a second version, the 3010e (also 3D capable) which sells for $200 more, lacks the 3D glasses (optional). Other than the wireless HD – WiHD – and the number of glasses included, the two projectors are identical.
The big story, is that just two hours ago, Fedex delivered a pre-production HC3010e projector for me to review. I’ve already got it plugged in, and have been viewing football – in 2D, and in 3D, and a brief mix of other content – 2D and 3D so far.
Too soon for any real opinions, except to say that the Home Cinema 3010e – and therefore also the Home Cinema 3010, are both Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings home theater projector fans,
Couple of busy days, and much partying, I had hoped to do more blogging late last night, but the fates had it otherwise.
This will be my last blog before a final walk through of the show (only an hour of time to spare).
Projectors, Let’s start with the Epson 6010 – and therefore Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings, Just a couple of quick notes on the new JVC’s and a touch more on Sony projectors.
JVC’s been busy. They’ve replaced the RS40, RS50 and RS60, with their new DLA-RS45, RS55 and RS65. Each has new features, Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings, I’ll keep this short and sweet. I will immediately be updating the key previous blog on the new projectors as well as the “First Look” Previews posted on the main www.projectorreviews.com website.
My error, I had mis-understood that the e models, the Home Cinema 3010e and the Home Cinema 5010e would differ by offering wirelessHD, instead of 3D, for the same price. (I’ve got to learn to listen better.)
As it turns out, the Home Cinema 3010e has both 3D and WirelessHD, by comparison, the Home Cinema 3010 has 3D but no Wireless HD. I had the price correct for the Home Cinema 3010, at $1599, but the Home Cinema 3010e, with both capabilities, will be $1799.
The same story for the Home Cinema 5010 and 5010e:
Expect the Home Cinema 5010e to cost a bit more than the Home Cinema 5010, due to the addition of the WirelessHD, but so far Epson hasn’t released any prices. We expect that to happen on Thursday. I’ll be meeting with them, on Thursday, so look for an update from me later that day.
Finally, the Epson Pro Cinema 6010 projector, as the flagship, also has both 3D and Wireless HD.
That’s it, sorry about my error. -art

Introducing two new series of 3D capable Epson home theater projectors. Believe it or not, we’re talking two different core projectors, and several variations, including a very interesting twist!!!

Everything I now know about these projectors is going live at the same time, although I’m splitting all the info into this blog and five separate articles on our main projectorreviews.com website, one for each new projector. Read the rest of this entry »

UPDATE: The Optoma HD33 projector review is now posted!
Greetings sports fans,
I’m typing while sitting 10 feet from a 100″ diagonal image of a pre-season NFL game. I’m watching in the User mode, which Mike set up as best mode, calibrated to 6500K. For the 100″ screen in my dark surfaced room, even with all the back lights on (it’s night), the picture looks plenty bright. Colors Read the rest of this entry »

Optoma HD33 - lowest cost 3D capable 1080 projector
UPDATE: The Optoma HD33 projector review is now posted!
Greetings all!
Following up on yesterday’s brief blurb, the HD33 from Optoma, a $1499 1080p projector enters the market as the least expensive 3D capable so far, with full HD resolution. With the exception
of their own slightly more expensive HD3300, it seems that all the other 3D capable projectors so far will cost you a minimum of $1000 – $1500 more.
The HD33 may end up being a “twofer” for those into really high performance. For example, some folks with budgets for big Sony’s and JVC’s – say upward of $6K, may decide that if they want 3D, it makes more sense to pick out the best 2D projector in their price range, PLUS buying a 3D projector like the HD33, for their 3D viewing pleasure, and maybe even sports since the HD33 is still brighter in 2D as well!
Afterall, all those expensive 3D projectors we’ve seen so far, offer only tolerable Read the rest of this entry »
