Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 8100 Projector Review

One of the many theater to come from Epson is the PowerLite Cinema 8100 . This projector features 1800 ANSI lumens, a 36000:1 contrast ratio, and full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Today, the writers from Audioholics released their review of the projector. The writers first talk about bang for your buck. This means that the projector has a lot crammed into it for a low retail price. It’s true that the projector isn’t as good as the high-end models that Epson has, but it still has its good points. For starters, the projector has an excellent contrast and black levels. The writers were also happy to see a built-in zoom lens. One of the bigger selling points was the low noise output. This allows users to watch movies or play games with out being distracted by the projector’s cooling fan. One thing they didn’t like though was the out-of-box color settings were not very accurate. The final conclusion that the writers made was, “Epson’s been on a roll lately. With the Cinema 8100 projector, you are getting an awful lot of features from Epson’s higher end products, but without the higher-priced bill that comes attached. Make no mistake, the 8100 has a lower end D7 panel (which is, as far as we can tell, organic), lacks the video processing capabilities of the UB line and… no actually, that’s really about it. Considering you can buy this projector and an excellent source like the Oppo BDP-80 player for less than the step up to a UB version, it’s a wonder that many don’t do just that. In terms of value, it’s hard to find a better bargain and we liked that most of the color modes out of the box at least looked pleasing to the eye – even the Dynamic mode looks better than most. It’s going to be very hard to beat the 8100 in terms of its blend of price and performance – you get a lot for your money.” [via Audioholics ]
