Where to Import from Japan/Hong Kong


I get a lot of questions on another forum asking where to get the Epson EMP-TW700 from.

Here are some places I've found...

ebay sellers:
time2envy (Where I bought mine)
dieswiththemosttoys

importers:
www.pricejapan.com
www.hivizone.com

Please note that neither I nor HomeTheaterShack endorse any of these places, and there is some risk to importing a product from another region.

In case you're not aware of whats up with all this...
Epson sells a great projector in the united states: the pro cinema 810 - but they sell it for $2999
The same model is sold in other counties for around $1500.

Review wise, Amongst LCD projecotrs, you have the Sanyo Z5 $1300- very sharp, not so bright and then you have the Panasonic AX100 $1800 - very bright, not so sharp. Enter the epson - brighter than the panasonic in real world tests, Very sharp, excellent build quality.
Amongst these 3 you can see that the Epson would be really attractive at say around $2000. At $1600 it's too good to pass up.
