The Epson Home Cinema 1440 was one of two more Epson projectors released this summer, two of five since the beginning of August. With a $1699 official price, it's also the only new Epson projector announced that's over $1000. For those not familiar, Epson makes perhaps 15 home entertainment and home theater projectors, from under $500 to $8000.
I like Epson's info they sent me. In their materials they refer to it as a flat panel killer. I love the thought, and will discuss that below!
4400 wall melting lumens and an 3LCD design are the backbone of the HC1440. The HC1440 is scheduled to start shipping in September (2015).
