Epson introduces three new projectors for film lovers at IFA 2018; the EH-TW7400, EH-TW9400, EH-TW9400W. These 4K models come with extensive connectivity and easy installation.
Epson introduces three new projectors – EH-TW7400, EH-TW9400, EH-TW9400W
Epson calls the new models PRO-UHD projectors, partly because of the high dynamic contrast ratio up to 1,200,000:1, 4K enhancement technology, 3LCD technology, Full HD, UHD BD and HDR support. The improved EH-TW9400 and EH-TW9400W are suitable for all 4K input devices.
The 3LCD technology helps to prevent the “rainbow effect” and achieves a light output of up to 2600 lumens. HDR support delivers more detail and depth and offers natural and rich color shades. The wide color spectrum increases the range of colors, while the contrast ratio of up to 1,200,000: 1 should result in deep blacks and sharply defined shadow details. Frame interpolation and detail gain provide smooth images.
The motorized optical elements include a motorized 2.1x optical zoom, motorized focus and motorized lens shift of ± 96.3% vertical and ± 47, 1% horizontally. They are designed for regular use with a long lifetime (7 years) of the lamp.
With the EH-TW9400W you can also watch wirelessly. This allows you to stream 4K content to the projector from smartphones, game consoles, Blu-ray players and more by connecting the HDMI connection to the 4K WiHD transmitter.
The EH-TW7400 is from September 2018 available for a price of 2.499 euros. Availability and prices of the EH-TW9400 and EH-TW9400W are still unknown.
