Epson EH-TW7000 3LCD, 4K PRO-UHD, 3000 Lumens, 500 Inch Display, Home Cinema, Streaming and Gaming Projector - White

Product Information

White brightness alone cannot bring the true colours you see everyday to life. The 3LCD technology found in Epson’s projectors delivers an equally high white and Colour Light Output (CLO), so that you can experience vivid and lifelike images.

Built around Epson’s 3LCD light engine, the 3200/EH-TW7000 is designed to be used occasionally in living rooms – most likely for sporting events, movie nights and gaming at varying times of day (and, therefore, daylight) – and outputs in a bright 3,000 lumens. However, it’s less capable on contrast than the 3800/EH-TW7100, with just a 40,000:1 quoted contrast ratio. Still, the 3200/EH-TW7000 ought to be able to create likeable images picture quality daylight hours. As with other Epson 4K PRO-UHD machines, there is no motion processing while watching 4K content. Fortunately, the natural picture is steady enough. Some moments of judder may happen in particularly fast panning shots but it’s no problem in the main. The TW7100 does offer a slightly smoother ride, but you have to pay significantly more for that privilege. Picture: 4K HDR | Brightness: 2500 lumens | **Inputs:**2 x HDMI 2.0, 2 x USB | Ethernet: Yes | Laser life: Up to 20,000 hours | Zoom: 1.2x | Projection ratio: 1.43 - 2.94:1 | Screen size: 40 – 150 inches | Throw distance: 1.15m to 4.3m | Dynamic contrast ratio: 150,000:1 | Built-in speakers: Yes | Dimensions (hwd): 47 x 16.5 x 16.5cm | Weight: 6.7kg The higher-end home cinema beamers add support for 4K and HDR, along with frame interpolation for improved motion, and a dynamic iris for better contrast ratios. As already mentioned, there are also extensive lens controls and memory features.Epson projectors have a significantly higher colour brightness than 1-chip DLP projectors thanks to 3LCD technology. As such, Epson’s projectors offer up to three times brighter colours, resulting in more vivid and colourful images.

This latter category offers a wide selection of projectors, ranging from basic 1080p beamers to higher-end versions that support 4K and HDR. What they all have in common is the company’s 3LCD technology, which uses three LCD panels to produce the images. With Epson’s 4K PRO-UHD projectors, you get a holistic approach to image performance over and above the ability to receive, process and project 4K content. Great images are the result of a combination of technologies coming together, including equal colour and white brightness, 3LCD technology, contrast control, HDR10 and colour processing. These compromises in picture quality might well be a deal breaker in a different projector, but in the Nebula Mars II, they feel like an acceptable trade-off for the convenience, ease of use and – above all – fun you get in return.

Accessories

However, this is a projector that’s as much about convenience as core quality. Cue its built-in 10W speakers and, more impressively, Bluetooth audio connectivity, which sees the 3200/EH-TW7000 able to stream wireless audio to a soundbar or speaker - a handy feature if you want even better sound. As always Richer Sounds flawless in all areas (replacement arrived next day) I wouldn’t even consider buying anywhere else…..I’m a R/S lifer. A Thankyou too the Preston staff :) Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.)

Chief of which is its native brightness. At 3,000 lumens, a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and 10-bit colour processing, it ought to be able to create a likeable image in any ambient light conditions, and at any time of day.

For reference, I measured the power consumption with a Kill-A-Watt. On High it's 264W, on Standard it's 228W, and on Low it's 192W. The EH-TW6150 also has a few advantages over the EH-TW7000 that I neglected to mention. It has better power efficiency, the lamp uses 70W less and lasts 7,500 hrs on Eco (Low) mode. It has a much more attractive look IMO, and can be positioned upside down if needed, perfectly flat without any wobbling. Considering the price point, this projector is capable of some brilliant detail. Tom Hardy looks typically rugged in close-up –his stubble is sharp and his blemishes lend a great feel to the character. Don’t be afraid to push on the Image Enhancement menus (Super-resolution and Detail Enhancement) and the Sharpness settings when watching in HDR to get the most out of this projector. Out of the box, the calibration is a little soft. Well... it's not really. I've had the projector for a few days now, I've set it up, messed with all the settings, and I am underwhelmed. I am using it directly with my PC, plugged into my graphics card. It is sitting upside down on top of a high cabinet and projecting a 130" image onto a white wall with no screen. At night there is no ambient light coming into the room, but it has white walls and somewhat reflective surfaces so it hasn't been optimized for projection. I am using a small amount of vertical lens shift, around 20%. So that's the setup. We play Venom on 4K Blu-ray and this projector explodes into life from the start, with some excellent HDR handling and dark detail in the opening shuttle crash scene. The light levels run from the dark forest shadows to the extreme brightness of the floodlights. Despite this range, the tone of the scene is expertly controlled.
