CEDIA begins tomorrow, so we can expect lots of news about new projectors, pricing, and specifications, but Epson is a day ahead of everyone, announcing their new PowerLite Cinema 810 and PowerLite Cinema 810 HQV projectors. They’ll be displaying both at CEDIA, but they let some details about them slip today, mainly that they have a 1600 ANSI Lumens brightness and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Considering that Epson makes nearly all of the LCD panels used in projectors, it’s no surprise that this too is a 720p LCD projector. The optional Silicon Optix HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) processor has some serious processing power and is able to perform over one trillion operations per second, though all you really need to know is that it’s going to create the best image it can for the projector. The PowerLite Cinema 810 will cost $2,999.00 USD and the bundled HQV version will cost $5,999.00 next month.
