Pro Review: Epson Pro Cinema 1080UB
by Clint DeBoer — last modified May 08, 2008 19:22

When we got our first glimpse of Epson's Pro Cinema 1080UB at the 9th Annual Audioholics State of the CE Union Event in Clearwater Beach, Florida, we knew we were in for a treat. We had already reviewed the excellent Pro Cinema 1080, and the UB - short for Ultra Black - only took a good projector and made it even better. This review is more of a comparison and evaluation of the new features than a full descriptive overview of everything about the 1080UB. If you want the full blow-by-blow, take a look at our review of the Pro Cinema 1080 and you'll find everything you need to help you evaluate the full complement of this projector's features.

Pro Review: Focupix HDVio Electric Screen with RF Remote
by Clint DeBoer — last modified May 05, 2008 04:10

We were more than skeptical when we first heard of the Focupix electric screens. Their retail price hovered around $799 for a 104-inch screen, however the typical street price was just $329.99. With a retail drop-off that steep we wondered how on earth anyone could pack enough equipment into the box to make this screen actually function. It turns out these electric screens must be easier to make than I thought. The overall quality and performance of the Focupix HDVio screen had us rethinking what an electric screen should truly cost the average consumer.

Pro Review: Marantz VP-15S1 DLP Projector Review
by Clint DeBoer — last modified March 22, 2008 16:29

Passion is what drove me to become a videoholic. I love good quality video - be it HDTV or high definition DVD. It doesn't matter if the subject matter is retarded African pigmy elephants, a great picture will glue me to the screen. With that said, this review of the Marantz VP-15S1 DLP projector started off as any other except that after a while I began to become obsessed with how well this projector integrated into my room. I found that I more quickly became drawn into the story lines of films and my ability to forget I was sitting in my theater room instead of being a part of the on-screen content became greatly diminished. In short, this projector made me covet...

by Tom Andry — last modified January 15, 2008 05:09

Sanyo showed off their PLC-XL50 LCD Short-Throw Projector at CES this year. In order for Sanyo to shorten the projection distance of the PLC-XL50, new large diameter aspheric lens and high-precision aspheric mirror technology was developed. A new optical engine was also developed, which enables an 80-inch projection from the short distance of only 3-inches (8 cm)! This creates an opportunity to project extremely large images in any room or space that is available.

First Look: Hitachi CP-A100 Short-throw Projector
by Clint DeBoer — last modified January 14, 2008 05:34

Hitachi America unveiled the CP-A100 3LCD projector, a unique product that offered a dramatically short throw distance at a remarkably steep angle. This type of projector, geared primarily towards the commercial markets, eliminates the problem of presenters obstructing the projected image by standing in front of the screen. Additionally, the CP-A100 offers networking capability, allowing multiple projectors to be controlled and monitored from a single location. It also makes for a very impressive screenwall effect when multiple units are used from an overhand along a stretch of wall.
