Epson Debuts 720p Projector for $650

Yesterday Epson broke a price-barrier with the industry’s first 3LCD 720p true home theater projector that’s priced at $650 — the PowerLite Home Cinema 710HD. With a giant zoom ratio that allows the projector to be mounted anywhere from 3.5 to 35.5 feet from the screen, the Home Cinema 710HD offers new “Easy-Slide” image correction, an optical horizontal keystone adjustment slide control bar that allows users to place the projector off-center from the screen and easily center the image. It’s spec’d to output 2,800 lumens.

Inputs on the Home Cinema 710HD include HDMI, Component and S-Video (um, if anyone still uses that). It also has a 5,000-hour lamp. Full specs are here: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=V11H475120
