| Epson EMP EH TW3500 Reviews: |
|
|
"Since the arrival of Blu Ray and the increase in range everyone is getting into the new Full HD projectors and Epson have really taken their new EH-TW3500 to the next level. They have taken the already successful EH-TW3000 and tweaked it to have more contrast offering better shading and depth. Normally we would expect to see a down side, a lowering of brightness, an increase in noise but they have really outdone themselves in making a top notch product. " |

"Extensive vertical and horizontal lens shift: One of the competitive advantages of 3LCD light engines over DLP is the latitude to incorporate extensive lens shift. On the 8100, as on all Epson 1080p home theater projectors lately, the vertical shift is three full picture heights, and the horizontal shift is two picture widths. This makes it easier to install the projector in a variety of locations relative to the screen without using keystone adjustments.
Having seen enough of the competition in this price range, we can assign our 5-star ratings on this model. We've given the 8100 4.5 stars for performance, only because there are more expensive models that deliver even greater image contrast and black levels. But at this price range the 8100 appears to have no competition that exceeds its image quality performance. " |

"To create the Home Cinema 8100 projector, Epson simply made minor improvements to the 6100 it replaces. The 8100 is not some great new projector, but really, the latest version of an already very good one. The Home Cinema 8100 has very good skin tones, very good black levels for a projector its price, and overall is a contender for best entry level projector so far this fall."
