Epson has launched the EMP-TW2000, the Full HD 1080p home cinema projector that incorporates Epson’s new 3LCD technology, the Dream Seven panel, which features a native 16:9 resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. 

These latest 3LCD panels are based on Epson’s exclusive Crystal Clear Fine technology (C2 Fine) for crisp, sharp images. The EMP-TW2000 integrates the latest HDMI v1.3 connectivity (2 interfaces) and a new powerful lens by Fujinon with 2.1x zoom. Viewing quality is further enhanced with an amazing contrast ratio of 50,000:1 and a brightness of 1600 ANSI Lumens, said an official spokesman.

C2 Fine technology delivers sharp, clear images and a true black.  Its ability to offer such superior output is related to its inorganic alignment layer where the liquid crystal is aligned vertically instead of horizontally. This change means that light leakage is eliminated and the result is smooth images and a pure jet black.

The EMP-TW2000 also has the Epson Dynamic Iris Optical System and DeepBlack technology to further add to the quality of the projected image by controlling the intensity of light from the lamp.

This creates deeper blacks and improved grey scaling in dark scenes and improved crispness and clarity in bright scenes. With the Epson Cinema Filter, a range of viewing modes can be selected to suit the lighting conditions in the room.

There are seven colour modes - vivid mode is best suited for light rooms and silver screen for darker environments.

Epson’s vertical and horizontal lens shift technology means the projector can be positioned off centre with no distortion to the projected image. The lens can be shifted 96 per cent up and down, as well as 47 per cent left and right, providing users with the flexibility to position the EMP-TW2000 in a variety of locations in the room, on a coffee table or ceiling mounted.

The EMP-TW2000 will deliver the best quality options the minute it is switched on. However for those who prefer to optimise or create individual settings to suit a particular film or ambiance, Epson has included additional features for image enhancement.

The Epson six-axis colour adjustment enhances colour hue and saturation for images with great depth.  Customised gamma adjustment is used in the same way as a gamma curve on a computer to increase colour sharpness. 

The EMP-TW2000- that comes in a unique design of smooth curves and a charcoal black finish - has been certified by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) which is dedicated to improving the quality of electronic imaging.

ISF has four basic roles in this industry and the PC industry, which include consulting with manufacturers regarding product development, dealer training, media communications, and ISF licensing. Following the ISF standards, the EMP-TW2000 can be calibrated by ISF dealers to optimized day and night viewing at home.

“Today, the Middle East market is witnessing a steady increase in demand for home cinema projectors, as more and more consumers want to enjoy the big screen movie experience from the comfort of their homes,” said general manager, Epson Middle East, Khalil El Dalu.

“As demand for high-definition quality increases, access is heightened through TV broadcasts, HD DVD, BluRay players and even game consoles. It is thanks to Epson, that even the highest quality 3LCD 1080p projection is now available for the consumer market and there is no better way to view high-definition content than on a big screen.

“The EMP-TW2000 incorporates the new Epson 1080p panel and in addition Epson’s unique projector technologies to deliver a true HD projection with superior image quality.  The result is real, sharp, images for a first-class viewing experience,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
