Bringing the movie theater experience to your living room, the Epson Home Cinema 3500 1080p 3LCD Projector supports Full HD in both 2D and 3D and features a brightness of 2500 lumens. A 1.6x zoom, 1.32 to 2.15:1 throw ratio, and vertical and horizontal lens shift mean this adaptable projector can accommodate many different room and screen sizes, and is suitable for screens up to 300" diagonal. Not only can the projector accept video in its native 1080p, but it can also take a range of non-native resolutions from 480i up to WXGA (1280 x 800) thanks to internal scaling.
The Home Cinema 3500 features multiple inputs so that you can connect it to all sorts of devices, from Blu-ray players to computers. There are two HDMI inputs, one with MHL support so that you can keep your mobile device's battery topped up while it's plugged in. Next is a component input for analog SD and HD devices, which sits alongside a composite input for legacy SD equipment such as VCRs. A VGA port is provided, as well, and is mainly used for connecting computers that lack HDMI output.
An IR remote is included, plus there is RS-232 for integrating the projector with automation systems such as Crestron.
Determining the correct brightness for your applications requires taking into account the amount of ambient light (if any) in the room, the screen material used, the throw distance, and the content being shown.
