Epson says its new portable 1080p LCD projector is up to three times brighter than competitive models, making it suitable for watching movies and sports or playing video games in a large room with the lights on.

The Home Cinema 1450 projector, slated for release a week from today (April 17) at $1,499, is a three-chip LCD design described as easy to set up and rated for color brightness of 4,200 lumens and white brightness of 4,200 lumens.

Capable of projecting 16:9 images as big as 260 inches, the projector has a 1.6x optical zoom, four color modes, and the ability to display images from two sources simultaneously.

Additional highlights include a built-in speaker powered by a 16-watt amplifier, two HDMI inputs—one of which supports Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL)—two USB ports (Type A and Type B), and a minijack stereo audio output.

The Home Cinema 1450 is covered by a two-year limited warranty (90 days on the lamp) and includes access to Epson’s PrivateLine priority technical support with free next-day exchange.
