- Four new 3LCD projectors for up to 300-inch images
- Two home theater models and two pro
- One of each one comes with AirPlay on board
Epson has launched four new projectors and two of them will be of special interest in Apple users. This is because for the first time, Epson delivers AirPlay compatibility to retail buyers in Home Cinema projector -something that has been available as LG’s Cinbeam series for some time.
The four projectors are all 3-chip 3LCD models and are divided into two products: home theater projectors and pro projectors. The AirPlay models also support miracast.
The Home Cinema projectors are the home theater 1100, which has AirPlay, and the home theater 980, which has not done so.
The Pro models are the Pro EX9270 Wireless Projector, which is the AirPlay model and EX3290, which is not.
