shift & front exhaust, motorised lens cover, built in 3D transmitter
Expensive,
no supplied 3D glasses
The new EH-TW8200 is a THX-certified projector that provides serious performance out of the box. Based on 3LCD technology with an auto iris (for enhanced contrast), this is a projector for the home theatre connoisseur – someone who appreciates deep, dark blacks and vivid colour. It is a large and fairly heavy unit – not suited to carry around, but meant to be securely mounted. It’s really easy to set up because of the 2.1x optical zoom and the manual lens shift. Lens shift allows the image to be moved up/down & left/right without physically moving the unit. Adding to the placement flexibility is the front-facing air intake/exhaust. This means that it can also be installed in tight spaces (like a bookshelf) without worrying about ventilation or overheating. Even in complete silence, the built in fans are barely audible when the projector is running in eco mode. In normal mode, they get a bit louder, but not intrusive in any way. The multiple picture modes help you get started right away while the more tech savvy can choose to run their own calibration. Either way, the 8200 delivers impressive results with a wide colour gamut, no visible aberrations and no ghosting. Paired with a good screen in a light controlled environment, it’s an easy way to get a true cinema experience at home. The 8200 also delivers excellent 3D performance. The active 3D glasses need to be paired (a simple process) and you can adjust various settings for 3D type and depth, but glasses are not supplied (each pair costs about 6,000). Other interesting features include a picture-in-picture function, frame interpolation (to make lower resolution content appear better) and a large, backlit remote. Overall, fantastic performance that should have been priced closer to its predecessor, the EH-TW8100 ( 1,70,000)
