Epson ELP-30
0.5 inch TFT active matrix liquid crystal panels 3
The number of pixels: 480,000 pixels (800 X 600 dots) X 3
Brightness: 800 ANSI lumina
Contrast ratio: 400: 1
Lamp: 130W UHE
External size: 309 (W) ×219 (D) ×93 (H) mm
Weight: 2.9kg
Input: Component (RGB combined use), S, composite, D4 input.
Comes with filter like the new Sony projectors (to improve blacks)
RRP Price: 198,000 Yen (Sept 6th 2002 release) £794.371 GBP
Probably the first projector <£1000 and judging from Epson's Japanese site I quote 'Sale goal has planned 3 ten thousand units in 1 years' (i.e 30,000 units!).
Panasonics new budget projectors..
Panasonic TH-AE200

I wonder if the Panasonic AE-100 is going to be aggressively priced now against Epson's new projector?. The Panasonic AE-200 and AE-300 come out very soon. Although if you look at the AE-200 it looks very similar to the AE100 specification except much better contrast but the same price [email protected]
Panasonic TH-AE300
0.7 inch TFT active matrix liquid crystal panels 3
The number of pixels: 518,400 pixels (960 X 540 dots) X 3
Brightness: 800 ANSI lumens
Contrast ratio: 800: 1
Lamp: 120W UHM
External size: 280 (W) ×269 (D) ×80 (H) mm
Weight: 2.9kg
Price: 320,000 Yen (Oct 15th 2002 release) £1,694.66
It will be interesting to see the price of the AE-300 compared to the Sony VPL-HS10 as the Sony should retail for 350,000 which is close to the AE-300 price in Japan.
I think the projector market is gearing up for a price battle myself!, I think they realise there is a mass market to sell home cinema projectors to your average consumer aswell as the home cinema enthusiast!.
