Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100

The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 offers an extraordinary level of capability for the price.

Inexpensive. No rainbow effect. Vertical and horizontal lens shift. Two HDMI connectors.

Doesn't handle either standard-definition or 1080i input particularly well. Not 3D-capable.

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 - null

I did tons of research prior to purchasing my Epson 8100. It took me many long nights and questions to folks in the community before I came to buy this unit.

Amazing PictureLens ShiftGreat Customer Service/WarrantyHardly any Fan noise

Not the best blacks (but still decent)No smoothing (if you are into that thing)
