4K Goodness

If you thought spending money on a 4K TV was absurb to get cinema-like video quality, Epson goes ahead and introduces the EH-TW8300 4K Home Theatre Projector, blowing every other 4K TV out of the water. Its 4K Enhancement technology is straightforward – turning everything you watch into pristine, crisp and crystal clear 4K quality that you won’t even recognise your favourite movies; even I didn’t. Even gaming in 4K made games like Horizon Zero Dawn even more appealing than it already is.

Watch in its Purest Form

The EH-TW8300 comes with a whole list of features that wants you to watch and stream your videos in 4K video quality. This made 4K YouTube videos great to watch and even Netflix Original shows. Thanks to the 3LCD Technology from Epson, you will always get amazing detail in colour with reliable consistency. You can even convert 2D movies into 3D, making your favourite movies so much better.

External Audio Required

Sadly, one flaw of the EH-TW8300 is that there are no built-in speakers so you will need external speakers to go along with it. What good is watching your movies in 4K when there’s no audio? Unless you’re into the old B&W movies. With that said, no ordinary speakers will do as you need to have top-quality speakers to go along with the top-quality picture.

Highlights

1 – Insanely Small Footprint
For a 4K home theatre projector, the EH-TW8300 has a small footprint, promising to take up less space than many others.

2 – Keeping Itself Cool
The EH-TW8300 comes with its own efficient cooling system, which not only keeps it cool but also quiet so it wouldn’t interrupt your movies.

3 – 10 Lens Memory
You can now preset up to 10 various positions for zoom, focus and lens shift for the EH-TW8300 so you can have a specific position for movies, gaming and presentations.
