I spent a ton of money on my first generation Mitsubishi 65″ HDTV back in 2002. Yet, as ashamed to admit as I am that it doesn’t even have HDMI, I still feel like 7 years just isn’t long enough to justify buying a new one. When I finally do decide that I’ve gotten my money’s worth from my rear projection behemoth though, I think I want to downsize to the extreme and get a front projector. Lucky for me then that prices for quality projectors are getting into a range I can get excited about.
Epson just released the specs on their new PowerLite Home Cinema 6500 UB Projector that is expected to retail at less than $3,000. With a native resolution of 1080p, contrast ratio of 75K:1 and brightness up to 1,600 lumens, that’s a lot of bang for the buck. Here are a few more details:
- Epson 3LCD technology with New “Crystal Clear Fine” D7 chip set and Ultra Black technology for superb black levels and extraordinary details
- Low fan noise of only 22dB
- HDMI 1.3a connectivity with Deep Color support
- Zoom ratio – 2.1x optical zoom, manual focus
- Brighter 200W E-TORL lamp delivers high brightness using less energy for up to 4,000 hours of lamp life
Maybe by the time I’m ready to revamp my home theater, they’ll have a newer model with wireless HDMI and an LED lamp.

looks pretty nice! 22dB is still pretty loud for fans though, loud speakers needed! Http://www.getstock.co.uk
