Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100

The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 offers an extraordinary level of capability for the price.

Inexpensive. No rainbow effect. Vertical and horizontal lens shift. Two HDMI connectors.

Doesn't handle either standard-definition or 1080i input particularly well. Not 3D-capable.
