The Home Cinema 8100 and Pro Cinema 9100 projectors are very similar.  In fact there are only a couple of variations which I’ll feel on under.  Enable’s get started together with the House Cinema 8100.
The primary information may be very very good â€" however cost is just not finalized, something like $1599 MAP pricing is probably.  If that’s the situation, it would be a number of hundred beneath the Home Cinema 6100 it replaces, rebates and items, notwithstanding.
I need to point out now, I didn’t see The home Cinema 8100 or Pro Cinema 9100 projectors in actions, when I visited Epson.  I only saw the Home Cinema 8500UB operate.
The Epson Household Cinema 8500UB, I should mention provides CFI, 200,000:1 contrast, along with other enhancements, for under $3000.
MASSIVE SPEC information â€" Contrast of  36,000:one, which is double the outdated 6100′s.  That’s bigger than the unique 1080 UB, which was Epson’s initial ultra-large contrast projector, only two generations back, and a value breakthrough at the time.
If your Dwelling Cinema 8100 can provide around the distinction, we must see a good enhancement in black amounts. Â Bear in mind even though, a doubling of contrast isn't a huge visible variation, but needs to be a worthy improvement. As they say, each and every little bit facilitates.
If Epson can deliver on that, it could properly have the perfect blacks underneath $2000, but  no doubt, there effectively be some genuine level of competition.
For people of you not familiar using the Epson lineup, the Home Cinema 8100 looks and works much like the older projector. Â There will most likely be a number of menu additions even though.
Epson is score the projector at 1800 lumens.  Survive yr’s design examined out at about 1500 lumens, and could go larger by sacrificing image performance.  That would be brightest mode.  Simply because of your similarities between projectors, we will possibly anticipate correct all-around 500 lumens in its very best movie mode.
The home Cinema 8100 lacks the inventive frame interpolation â€" CFI â€" capabilities which the a lot more costly 8500UB provides.  Like it’s big brother, though, the 8100 does not have assist for an anamorphic lens.  The Epson 8100′s lens shared together with the other individuals, and is their usual a couple of.1:one zoom manual zoom lens.  There’s numerous lens shift.  It’s pretty much impossible to discover a projector with more placement versatility, other than seriously high priced projectors that provide interchangeable lens possibilities.
Epson premiums the lamp at 4000 hours in low or higher electrical power â€" which, I feel would be the longest existence in substantial ability, currently supplied in projectors employing lamps. (Lamps are in verything but a couple of new expensive LED projectors, which include the $15,000 Vivitek H9080FD projector, recently reviewed).  That need to make to get a nice lower value of operation.  The guarantee is two several years, elements and labor, but Epson also delivers their two 12 months property alternative system, which can be fantastic.
Epson Pro Cinema 9100 House Theater Projector
The primary variation is the fact that the Pro Cinema 9100 is completed in a very great piano black. Â Aside from that, all the things physically, is identical to the 8100.
From a function collection difference compared for the 8100, the Epson Pro Cinema 9100 adds:
·Help for an anamorphic lens
·ISF Certification, with two further lockable modes for pro calibrators to make use of (ISF Day time, ISF Night)
·A 3rd 12 months warranty, and third twelve months of your substitute plan
The Pro Cinema 9100 comes packaged using a ceiling mount, and also a spare lamp, likewise. Â Aided by the added functions, warranty, mount and lamp, the Pro Cinema 9100 is prone to checklist for about $one thousand more than The home Cinema model.
The fantastic factor about 10 is that you can definitely get every thing dialed in. For example, on my older Epson 1080UB (2nd theater), I've acquired 3 different Theater Black 1 variations saved in reminiscence, along with a couple of Dynamic's and three Livingroom settings.
Right here's why: 1 with the TheaterBlack1's is what I'd call, my really "greatest" mode. But I've a different, slightly tweaked to allow for only a little ambient gentle. A third one particular is far more for HDTV use when I want the very best shade. That 1 has the dynamic iris turned off, will allow to get a contact of ambient gentle, a slightly lower gamma, and seems to be absolutely killer on excellent hi-def articles from channels like Discovery-HD, Sci-HD, PlanetGreen-HD, etcetera. The three Livingroom settings - 1 with iris on, two away from (on for movies when I require brightness more than best coloration). You get the idea.
Bottom line - It is nice of Epson to provide us lots of memories!
