"Clever projector lacks an edge"

Issue: 12/2007

On test: Epson EMP-DM1

TV prices might be continuing to plummet, but if your budget's restricted to £500, you're still probably limited to a 32in screen. So how about a 150in picture for approximately the same price? → More

"Epson EMP-TW1000 Projector"

On test: Epson EMP-TW1000

Once upon a time, not so long ago, we'd have been left pretty near breathless by any projector like Epson's EMP-TW1000 which offered a full HD resolution for under two grand. But now, while they're hardly 10 a penny, other sub-£2k full HD projectors certainly exist. What's more, they no longer just exist in the LCD world, with Optoma's HD80 now bringing full HD DLP into the frame. All of which is a kind of long-handed way of saying that with so much stiff competition around, the TW1000 will have to go some to really impress us, low price or no low price. → More

On test: Epson EMP-822

Epson recently released four multimedia projectors — the EMP-S5, EMP-X5, EMP-83 and the EMP-822 — all featuring improved brightness, increased security and reduced operating costs for the education and business markets. Each of the four projectors also use Epson’s patented low-cost E-TORL lamp, which has a typical life of 3000 to 4000 hours depending on operating mode (replacements cost around £250). As a result the models have a relatively low operating power consumption of 231 Watts and a standby consumption of just 5.8 Watts, making them all good choices for reducing your company’s carbon footprint. → More
