Epson EH-DM3 Home Cinema Video Projector

Tweet

Whilst projectors catering specifically for those looking to avail themselves of a home cinema setup are hardly in short supply the newly announced Epson EH-DM3 Home Cinema Video Projector serves to distinguish itself thanks to serving as a reasonably portable home theatre projector offering integrated DVD player with DivX format compatibility though, alas, if you’re looking for a HD projector you’ll be looking elsewhere.

Whilst offering support for 1080i HD content the 3LCD touting Epson EH-DM3 Home Cinema Video Projector’s resolution unfortunately tops out at a mere 940 x 540 so if you want to see that 1080i HD content in its native resolution you’ll need to reply on outputting the content via the unit’s HDMI port. Shame.

Resolution aside, however, the Epson EH-DM3 puts in a reasonably impressive (if not spectacularly impressive) set of specs in delivering 2000 ANSI lumens brightness and 3000:1 contrast ratio (we did say it wasn’t spectacularly impressive, didn’t we) whilst, in terms of additional connectivity on and above the aforementioned HDMI there’s also composite, component and RGB with an inbuilt USB port allowing you to access content from USB flash drives. And, yes, there’s even a mic-in connection for those looking to engage in a little karaoke – though whether that’s perceived as a bonus or not is very much down to the individual.

“The EH-DM3 not only provides the whole family with an easy to use home cinema video projector, but a fun all-in-one feature packed machine that even allows you to listen to music and view photos from a CD,” said Alexandre Di Caro, Product Manager, Epson Europe. “Its versatility and picture and sound quality mean that it can be enjoyed for movie watching, the broadcast of exciting sporting events and big screen gaming. We have even included a microphone port for karaoke lovers.”
