With the
new home cinema dimension of the EPSON EMP-TW200 every film is going to
become an event. The new projector in the dreamio home cinema range by EPSON
offers luxury – wide image luxury. It did not take anyone by surprise that the
projector was announced as test winner by the professional journal “Computer
Bild” (edition 12/03). Although the EPSON EMP-TW200 is going to be introduced
to the market 3 months later than it was originally planned (new launch date
is the middle of February) it now offers a better contrast ratio, which was
increased from 800:1 to 1000:1.The
successor of the EMP-TW100 provides an excellent image quality in 16:9
format. With a light intensity of 1300 ANSI lumens, a resolution of 1280 x
720 pixels and its high contrast ratio the WXGA projector creates perfect
images – up to a wide image diagonal of 7,63 m. Its wide angle optic is
equipped with a motorised 1,5 time zoom, which helps providing excellent
images even with a distance of only 2 or 3 metres. The operating noise with
only 28 dB is extremely quiet.
