With a remarkable brightness rating of up to 3,400 lumens, this projector ensures that content is easily viewable in a variety of lighting conditions, from dimly lit rooms to well-lit environments.

The Epson 8100 supports a native Full HD resolution of 1080p, delivering sharp and detailed images that capture the intricacies of each frame. With a contrast ratio of up to 100,000:1, blacks appear deeper while colors are more vibrant, enhancing the overall quality of films and gaming experiences. Additionally, the projector supports 4K UHD content through its advanced pixel-shifting technology, allowing users to experience their favorite shows and games in stunning clarity.

Versatility is another hallmark of the Epson 8100. It includes a generous 1.6x optical zoom and a wide vertical lens shift range, making installation easier and allowing for flexible placement in various room sizes. This feature ensures that homeowners can enjoy a large image without the need for complicated mountings or excessive adjustments.

Connectivity is enhanced with multiple HDMI ports, enabling seamless connections to a range of devices, including gaming consoles, streaming devices, and Blu-ray players. The projector also features a built-in speaker, providing a complete entertainment solution without the immediate need for external audio equipment.

User-friendly features such as an intuitive menu system and remote control simplify operation, while the long-lasting lamp enables up to 15,000 hours of viewing time in eco mode, making maintenance less of a concern for users.
