This projector is perfect for those who love watching 3D movies
The TW8200 handles 3D movies exceptionally well, making the images vibrant and lively. No wonder, this home projector is THX certified. This projector from Epson also features a high dynamic contrast ratio of 600,000:1, thus making the picture more realistic and immersive. Just in case you have no 3D material available, you can also use its onboard ‘2D to 3D’ convertor to watch content in 3D, though this may not be as impressive as original 3D content.
The TW8200 has a full native resolution of 1920×1080 that can handle full HD movies; it also has a built-in zoom of 2.1x that lets you get a razor-sharp focus for your images. The projector has an intensity of 2,400 lumens that handles both lit and dark rooms pretty well, but if you are to enjoy your movies, my suggestion is to have the room unlit.
The problem with home projectors has been finding that perfect levelled table; whatever you do, something or the other shifts the balance. With a 47 degree horizontal shift built in, the TW8200 increases its placement possibilities, so whether you are placing it on the table or hanging it from the roof, you can adjust the image easily and tweak settings that your contractor got wrongly fixed.
Epson uses a 480Hz panel to deliver the images. This ensures that the motion quality is maintained and swift visuals such as that F1 race are perfectly reproduced and smooth in motion quality. Whether you dig sports, or are a big fan of the Wachowski brothers and their moves in The Matrix, action is all quite realistic.
Epson uses an internal colour calibration on each picture that it puts out, enabling a vivid cinema experience, whether it is a home movie you are watching or a Bollywood production. There is also a picture-in-picture mode just in case you like to watch two things at the same time, just like Elvis did, or have a split screen to watch two programmes simultaneously, though personally I find this awkward. But in case you do like watching two programmes, one on mute and the other with sound, go ahead. You can move the inset to any corner of the screen, or watch both side by side.
