Epson - PowerLite Home Cinema 3LCD Home Theater Projector


What do you all think about this projector? Good for the money, about $1800 on sale? Good for a 12 x 16 HT? Best Projector for a $1500 to $2000 projector budget?

Re: Epson - PowerLite Home Cinema 3LCD Home Theater Projector


Hi and sorry for late reply...Too busy.

Haven't seen any reviews yet, but I have the TW-2000 1080p projector which is fantastic. It is also more expensive.
The HC 6100 has many similarities with the TW-2000 specially the D-7 pannels and setup, but 10 bits colour resolution instead of 12 bits which shouldn't be a problem.

This projector appears to be a good solution for the price. You might also consider waiting for some reviews if you're not in a hurry.

Re: Epson - PowerLite Home Cinema 3LCD Home Theater Projector


Thanks alot...I want to buy in the next month, so not a huge hurry, but I am concern the prices may raise when the holidays are over.

I am looking at these two right now and maybe that Panny AE-2000(?):

Epson Model: HC6100
Sanyo Model: PLV-1080HD

What you think? Sanyo or Epson?

Well, the panny's a great projector, but I would wait for some reviews of the Epson though
