These Epson Projectors Recreate 3-D Theater Experience in HD

— September 11, 2011 — Tech
If you were taken aback by the first 3-D film you ever saw, try to fathom this: Epson Projectors are capable of recreating that experience in your living room.

Avatar was the first 3-D cinema experience for a lot of people, and most were absolutely floored by the interplay between the stunning visuals and the three-dimensional projections. Epson Projectors promise to deliver that same grandeur to your house with its new line of compact, yet powerful overhead projectors. Best of all, the device is ingeniously programmed with the ability to convert your regular, dated DVDs into bursting three-dimensional images. Since they're armed with 2,400 lumens of color, however, you should think twice before pointing the projector at your friends for a laugh.

$3,500 is the asking price for an Epson Projector -- considerably pricier than an HDTV, but its size and portability make the price jump more worthwhile.
