I ’m already a Brobdingnagian sports fan of DVD - projector combos , so Epson ’s new LCD - projector MovieMates make me titter like a schoolhouse girl . The first thing Epson did was lick its size of it problem with the MovieMate 50 . The new one is 63 % svelte than its predecessor — with a establish - in handle!—yet still cost $ 799 . But the inevitable shift to gamey - def has happen sooner than I would have call , with the coming of the MovieMate 72 .
If you have n’t already guessed it , the 72 concern to 720p . It ’s not a full 1080p , but a bragging step in the right direction , and at $ 1,199 , voiceless to pass up . When you ’re send off an epitome 100 inches across , it ’s all too leisurely to see the filmdom - door effect of the pixels from a 480p - resolution chip . The jump to 720p triples the figure of pel . With the requisite interior DVD upscaling , the simulacrum remain a circle smoother when you cast it big . Also , since there ’s an HDMI stimulation , you ’d be able to diddle biz and watch Blu - ray or HD videodisc moving-picture show at a much improved resolving too .
ordinarily Charlie is Gizmodo ’s main man for projector review , but this is one that I ’m going to have to commandeer for myself when it ’s up for a trial drive .
