The Epson 8500UB PowerLite Home Cinema Projector is a state of the art projector that excels at just one thing; projecting the most vivid, beautiful and true to life images that today's most advanced technology is capable of achieving.
With a 3LCD optical engine capable of projecting 1600 ISO lumens at an astounding contrast ratio of as much as 200,000:1 at its heart, you know this is a projector in a class by itself. Its native resolution is 1920 by 1080, perfect for a home cinema capable of displaying 720p, 1080i and 1080p high definition signals.
Some of it powers are buried inside its electronic circuitry and optics, like its advanced, high-speed dual-layer auto iris function that adjusts light output up to 60 times-per-second based on the gamma and black/white levels of your projected content, for perfectly adjusted images and the deepest blacks.
Other advanced features are more obvious like its Fujinon lens, the choice of professional cinematographers for decades. There's also its Epson-exclusive E-TORL lamp, that runs so cool that in Normal mode (high brightness) its fan noise is just 28 dB, quieter than most projectors' ECO modes. Run the 8500UB in ECO mode and fan noise drops to an (almost literally) unheard of 22 dB and lamp life is extended to as many as 4000 hours.
The 8500UB's seven color modes, all selectable from the remote, range from Dynamic for projecting the brightest picture available (e.g., when playing video games during the day) to x.v.Color for the most natural color reproduction when viewing movies coming through one of the projector's two HDMI v 1.3 ports. Whether you're playing games, watching TV or catching the latest Blu-ray release, if you appreciate intelligent design and state of the art engineering that results in a captivating visual experience, you'll love the 8500UB.
