Epson MovieMate 25 Projector

Epson America Inc. is continuing its advancement into the home entertainment market with two high definition home theater front projectors and two rear projection HD displays that produce true 1080p native resolution. Of particular note was a unique product for instant, big screen home entertainment, the Epson MovieMate 25 Projector- DVD/Music Player Combo.

The Epson MovieMate 25 Projector-DVD/Music Player Combo is a multi-entertainment device featuring a high-quality 480p resolution 3LCD 16:9 widescreen projector with a built-in, multi-format DVD player and self-amplified speakers. The product's 1,200 ANSI lumens brightness rating makes it ideal for use in both light-controlled rooms and environments with some ambient light. It even comes with an 80-inch pull-up, floor-standing, 16:9-wide screen that is portable and easy to store in its integrated compact carrying case.

The Epson MovieMate 25 not only enables customers to simply plug in a power cord to instantly project DVD movies, but can also display CD-R/RW videos, JPEG digital photos, WMA video files and more. The product even excels as a standalone music player for listening to traditional audio CDs, CDs with MP3 files, or as a stereo speaker system for external MP3 players. The MovieMate 25's built-in, self-amplified JVC stereo speakers (10-watt x 2) and external 40-watt subwoofer (also included) produce clear, room-filling sound that is ideal for music and/or movies with Dolby Digital/DTS coding. Furthermore, its audio and video inputs make it a fun solution for playing video games, projecting TV shows and sporting events, viewing photos from a digital camera, watching home videos from a camcorder, and more.
