Overview

The Epson Home Cinema 1080 (V11H980020) is a 3LCD projector built for home entertainment, producing full 1080p resolution at 3,400 lumens of both color and white brightness. The 3-chip 3LCD engine processes 100% of the RGB color signal on every frame, which translates to accurate, vibrant colors without the rainbow artifacts that can plague single-chip projection systems. A dynamic contrast ratio of up to 16,000:1 adds depth to dark scenes in movies and games, giving the image a more cinematic quality than the contrast spec alone might suggest.

Setup is designed to be straightforward. A built-in picture skew sensor automatically detects and corrects keystone distortion, so you spend less time fiddling with manual adjustments. Two HDMI inputs let you keep a streaming device and a game console connected simultaneously, while four color modes — Dynamic, Bright Cinema, Cinema, and Game — let you quickly optimize the image for different content. The included built-in speaker handles basic audio, and a 3.5mm jack provides an easy path to better sound. Epson backs the projector with a 2-year limited warranty and lifetime free phone support.
