With a name more recognised in things to do with printing, Epson is a company that knows a thing or several about reproducing images. It has subsequently applied this pixel-reproducing know-how to front projection for quite some time now and also laid claim to the world’s first LCD video imaging projector launched back in 1989. Jump some 21 years and Epson has a multitude of models on offer, with this, the EH-TW3500, being one of the most affordable full-HD home theater projectors thus far.

The next generation D7 LCD panels offer enhanced image quality and an impressive 36,000:1 high contrast ratio ensures clear, sharp and defined images as well as superb brightness for any light situation. This projector complies with the x.v.Colour standard which ensures a wider colour production area to support perfectly smooth video playback. In addition to refined image quality, Epson has included a 10 bit Pixel Works video processor chip to bring added smoothness and clarity to even fast moving pictures on screen, especially important when using the latest games consoles.

Despite its intricate technical capabilities, the EH-TW3500 is quick and easy to install and set up. A x2.1 optical zoom capability, and a wide horizontal/vertical lens shift, makes image adjustment flexible and easy in any setting. This projector also boasts wide connectivity options, including two HDMI version 1.3 inputs. Quieter fan operation also means the viewer can enjoy the movie to the full.
