| EMPTW1000 Reviews: |
|
"The image was awe inspiring with the 1080p resolution we tested it on a blueray player as well as some of the higher definition games in an xbox 360 and we were impressed by the image detail and the very good colour processing. It offers an incredibly sharp image with amazing colour and outstanding detail. We even tried it with a standard DVD (which runs at 576p) and even at the lower resolution the upscalling made a very good image.
|
| We have chosen the Epson as our recommended unit. This is due to the higher contrast ratio the Epson offers, the higher optical zoom, and the fact that Epson actually manufacture the LCD panel which means that most other 1080p projectors will be using the same system to make the image but Epson in our opinion has struck the nail on the head with an excellent unit and while it isn't cheap retailing around $5k the Epson has excellent features and an exceptional image." |
|
|
Now that we have easy access to full HD 1080p video in the form of Blu-ray and HD DVD discs, it's natural to want something well specified and affordable to play them through. But when it comes to the latter, you'd do well to find one for as little as this Epson.
|
| The TW1000 1080p projector, Epson's first, is also promising the ultimate in detail and its sleek-black rounded look is one we like. A glow-in-the-dark remote is a pleasant find, as is an HDMI (1.3) and a Scart input. Making its debut here is Crystal Clear Fine (C2Fine). Its aim is to create much smoother images from 3LCD technology while exerting more control over the brightness. And it gets better. As the projector uses a version 1.3 HDMI input, it's able to support 48-bit colour. For the moment it's a moot point whether there's any need for it when all video content is still based around 24-bit colour, but in the interests of futureproofing we're pleased enough. |
|
|
All up, the EMP-TW1000 delivers outstanding value previously unheard of in the 1080p category. It may lack luxury functions, extended connectivity and the inky blacks of pricier models, but this is well offset by beautiful HD pictures, extended lens shift and ultra-short throw capabilities. These are the basic -- yet important -- ingredients for a truly theatrical home entertainment highly recommended in space-conscious home theatre set-ups. |
(AKA) EPSON Projector PowerLite Pro Cinema 1080
Full HD - Home Cinema Projector
Introducing one of the world's most advanced and powerful digital projectors for the home cinema. Incorporating a range of enhanced and new technologies, the Epson EMP–TW1000 delivers industry leading 1080p output — for over 2.07 million pixels — and incredible image quality from the latest Blue–Ray and HD–DVD players. It's the ultimate projector for the ultimate home cinema experience.
12,000:1 High Contrast Ratio
Delivering maximum image display quality
When it comes to delivering optimum image display quality, colour, brightness and contrast ratio are the key determining factors — and the EMP-TW1000 delivers on all three.
With a groundbreaking contrast ratio of 12,000:1, the EMP-TW1000 projects bright scenes with ultra bright whites, and dark scenes with rich blacks. Underpinning the projector's ability to regulate the brightness and contrast of every scene are the advanced Auto Iris function and Crystal Clear Fine Full High Definition 3LCD panel technology.
Using the Auto Iris function, the EMP-TW1000 controls and adjusts lamp brightness levels 60 times every second. When the projector is displaying a light scene, the iris is opened to allow more light to pass through to the LCD panels, resulting in a bright image. For dark scenes, the iris opening is reduced, delivering richer blacks than are possible with less advanced systems. |
 |
Crystal Clear Fine 3LCD technology
World–leading projector video display technology
At the heart of the EMP-TW1000 is Epson's world–leading Crystal Clear Fine 3LCD technology. This advanced projection system uses three individual LCD panels to give form to images with silky smooth movement and fresh, natural colours.
Bright, vibrant colours and unequalled image quality are characteristics of Crystal Clear Fine 3LCD technology, with the EMP-TW1000 delivering outstanding results in any home cinema environment.
|
| Due to 3LCD's incredibly efficient use of light, in combination with a 170W E–TORL lamp, the EMP-TW1000 achieves quiet operating levels, exceptional image clarity and a flicker–free display. Importantly, it's Epson's Crystal Clear Fine 3LCD Panel that optimises the display of high–definition images from the latest technologies, including High Definition Broadcasting, Blu–ray and HD–DVD. |
Unique light–efficient lamp technology — E–TORL
Brilliant light efficiency
When Epson released the innovative and incredibly efficient E–TORL (Epson Twin Optimised Reflection Lamp) technology, it quite literally cast an entirely new light on the world of home cinema; and with the EMP-TW1000 that new light is all about image quality.
Designed to minimise light leakage — a primary cause of lamp inefficiency |
 |
| — and minimise light diffraction, E–TORL lamps are so small and efficient as to be well ahead of their time. With E–TORL lamps, a combination of an ellipsoidal reflector, spherical lens and hemispherical mirror delivers optimum light efficiency with minimal power consumption and heat generation. |
 |
Flexible connectivity
For easy setup in virtually any home cinema environment
One of the many advantages of the EMP-TW1000 in a home cinema environment is its wide range of connectivity features. With HDMI (ver 1.3), Component Video, Composite Video, S–Video, RS232C, PC and Trigger Out connection ports, the EMP-TW1000 can be quickly configured effortlessly for virtually any home cinema, regardless of its A/V source. |
Cinema Filter
Wider colour space and superior colour purity
An inherent feature in all Epson Home Cinema projectors is a uniquely designed Cinema Filter. Built into the projector's lamp system, the Cinema Filter is a crucial component in achieving a wide colour gammut and colour purity. This innovative technology is able to optically adjust the three primary light colours (Red, Green and Blue) with exceptional balance and precision for incredibly accurate colour reproduction. |
 |
 |
HDMI 1.3
The latest version of the HDMI standard for resolutions up to 1920x1080 pixels.
One of the core technologies included in the EMP-TW1000 is a version 1.3 HDMI terminal, the latest version of the HDMI (High–Definition Multimedia Interface) standard that allows high–definition digital |
video and multichannel digital audio to be sent over a single cable. With version 1.3 built into the EMP-TW1000, home cinema enthusiasts get precisely what's been needed for true digital high–definition — a 10.2Gbps bandwidth, which delivers better high–definition images and outstanding audio.
By taking full advantage of the enormous bandwidth capabilities offered by HDMI version 1.3, the EMP-TW1000 has been designed to display at resolutions up to 1920x1080 pixels (1080p), which is the highest resolution HD signal currently available. |
Powerful lens shifting and zoom ratio
Technology that ensures the projector delivers a best fit for your lifestyle
To ensure the EMP-TW1000 fits perfectly into your home cinema, it has been designed with vertical and horizontal lens shift capabilities for easy positioning well off–centre. With these capabilities, the projector can be positioned up to nearly two screen widths laterally and three screens vertically without altering the image shape or compromising image quality.
Adding further to the flexible positioning capabilities of the |
 |
| EMP-TW1000 is a powerful 2.1 wide zoom ratio and short focus lens, which increases the range of set up possibilities, by allowing for movement both forward and back in relation to the screen. With the short focus lens, the projector can project a massive 100–inch screen from as close as three metres. |
 |
Six Colour Modes
Optimising colour and brightness for every occasion
Featuring six separate colour modes, the EMP-TW1000 is easily and quickly configured for optimum brightness and contrast in a range of environments. From the Dynamic Colour Mode, which is ideal for even brightly lit rooms, right down to Theatre Black 2 mode for the warmth and depth of cinema–like images, the EMP-TW1000 delivers superb image and colour fidelity. |
Full 10–bit colour processing
Capable of reproducing a massive 1.07 billion colours
As a world leader in the development and manufacture of projector LCDs, Epson is constantly at the forefront of delivering projectors that stand out from the crowd — and the Epson EMP-TW1000 is one more example of this. With 10–bit colour processing capabilities, the EMP-TW1000 is capable of reproducing a massive 1.07 billion colours for incredibly rich expression and smooth gradation. |
 |
 |
The widescreen experience
The truly widescreen experience
When it comes to a truly big screen experience, Epson home cinema projectors deliver virtually incomparable performance. Forget about other display technologies if you're really looking for image sizes that are bigger than life itself. For big screens of 2 metres wide or more, the EMP-TW1000 is perfect, adding enormously to every widescreen television show, DVD or video game. All this from a unit measuring only 406mm x 353mm x 143mm that can be installed on the ceiling or sitting on a small side table. |
1080p HD ready
The world's leading digital video standard
With 1080 pixel progressive scan (1080p), the EMP-TW1000 delivers the highest possible high–definition video output currently available. In contrast to earlier 720p projector models, which can display only 921,600 pixels, the EMP-TW1000 displays an astounding 2,073,600 pixels!
The EMP-TW1000's 1080p is exactly the same as that used in the |
 |
| commercial filming of digital motion pictures, such as Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Essentially, it's the world's leading digital video standard in your own home cinema. |
 |
Six–axis colour adjustment
Total colour control
The EMP-TW1000 has been designed to provide home cinema enthusiasts with total control over their video output; and a powerful six–axis colour adjustment capability is crucial in achieving this. With the ability to adjust independently the hue and saturation for each of the RGBCMY colour components, the EMP-TW1000 can be adjusted precisely to your unique colour preferences. |
Advanced lens and optical engine
Reduced flare and high resolving power
A major contributing factor to the EMP-TW1000's exceptional video quality is a new optical engine that reduces the colour aberration noticeable in earlier models. With a large aperture and Extra–low Dispersion lens, which is multi–coated to diffuse reflection, the EMP-TW1000 delivers crystal clear images with high contrast levels.
Of particular note is the increase in number of micro lenses from 32 to 60. |
 |
| With each of the small lenses illuminating the LCD panels, there is a greater uniformity of lighting and dramatically improved evenness of colour. |
 |
New design remote control
Ergonomically designed for style and easy control
Representing the perfect projector control companion for the EMP-TW1000 is a newly designed remote control. Featuring an ergonomic casing and a light activation button that immediately back–lights all of the buttons, the new remote control delivers powerful control over the projector from the comfort of your armchair. |
