Epson Introduces VS200 SVGA Projector

Need a new projector for your boardroom? What about your work-at-home basement? Epson has just the thing, with their newly introduced VS200 being one of the brightest and cheapest in its class. The projector provides SVGA resolution and a whopping 2300 lumens of light output, not to mention USB Plug 'n Play instant setup for Windows and Mac that instantly displays images on both the projector and computer by simply connecting a USB cable.

It utilizes 3LCD 3-chip technology and requires, on average, 25 percent less electricity per lumen of brightness compared to 1-chip DLP technology. Other features include Instant On/Off, Direct Power On and Off, and Epson's exclusive E-TORL lamp technology which enables the lamp life to last up to 5,000 hours in economy mode. The device is expected to ship this month for just $449, which is pretty impressive. Now, if only it were HD, it'd be one of the hottest sellers of the holidays.
