As I was browsing through blogs and Xbox 360 news, I stumbled upon this news bit. Epson, which is really just known for printers and scanners, have produced the Epson MovieMate 55 Projector, which is certainly an upgrade on their previous model. It displays an 80-inch, widescreen image from just 7.8 feet away, or a 120-inch image from just 11.8 feet away. Epson decided to use the brighter E-TORL lamp, which efficiently projects more light. What does that mean? Well basically, it distributes the light evenly across the entire screen. So when you are watching a film or television show and you have to grab some food, the screen won’t fade and you can continue your movie or show. But what makes this projector special is that it is compatible with gaming consoles, but more importantly Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Just imagine playing Call of Duty 4 or Madden ‘09 on Xbox Live with a projector. This new projector will help illuminate the video game’s graphics and help gamers mutltitask (whatever it may be that you have to do in the middle of a game). Sounds great? It sounds great to me. The projector is expected to be available in October and a price tag has yet to be announced. Make sure to check back as more information comes our way.
