Epson’s just announced two new additions to its home theatre lineup which should make your bi-weekly showing of House Party even more of a success than usual. First up, the PowerLite Home Cinema 705HD boasts a 720p resolution, a brightness of up to 2,500 lumens, and 1.2x optical zoom. The 705HD is an entry-level HD projector , so its pricing — $750 — is a bit less than some other models. The other model the company’s outing is the MovieMate 60, a combo affair housing a 16:9 native resolution-having projector, plus a built-in dvd player and two 10 watt speakers. The projector has a brightness of up to 2,000 lumens. The MovieMate 60 retails for $650 — and both are available now.

Panasonic’s PT-AE3000 has gone over quite well in the home theater space, with its 1080p resolution and gorgeous image quality winning over more than a few projector junkies. But given that there’s always room for improvement, the outfit has today introduced the PT-AE4000, an ever-so-slightly refreshed version that looks essentially identical to its predecessor. The Full HD native resolution and 1,600 ANSI lumens remain unchanged, though the contrast ratio has been bumped from 60,000:1 to 80,000:1 and Panny has outfitted it with a new “red rich lamp” and dynamic iris. Finally, this beamer supposedly eliminates those nasty Cinemascope issues that some users were seeing on the AE3000, though the estimated ?2,000 ($3,255) asking price still feels a bit steep when you consider the alternatives .

Sophomore slump? Fuhgetaboutit. After announcing its very first projectors last year with little to no fanfare at all, Vivitek is looking to get everyone’s attention with an all new 1080p model that should hit US retail outlets this August. If all goes well, the company’s H1080FD will hit just before CEDIA kicks off, and it’ll be based on Texas Instruments’ S450 chip / light-engine design with Dark Chip II technology. Other specs include 1,800 lumens of brightness, a 5,000:1 contrast ratio, a pair of HDMI ports, composite / S-Video / component inputs, an RS-232c control connector and a 12v trigger — in other words, even the so-called AV junkie should find plenty to adore. If you’re curious just how big of a deal this is in the sector , just have a look at how stoked Sanyo was to introduce an entry-level 1080p beamer 11 months ago at twice this price.

It’s really hard to say how much of a value this DIY HD projector is, given we’re missing some crucial specs like resolution (gotta be at least 720p, right?), contrast ratio, and luminosity. Still, at €500 (about $708 US) for the whole kit, it’s not a bad deal if you planned on spending your weekend doing projects anyway. All the pieces come in four separate bundles — HD optic, light, housing, and electronics — and if you need some handholding (it’s okay, so do we), there’s a German-language instruction manual that’s thankfully full of pictures and diagrams, and even more entertaining, we’ve got a video / picture slideshow of the process done to a playful techno ditty. Check it out after the break. Update : Yup, it’s 1280×768.
