Pre-order your Epson EMP-TW1000 now!

Let the countdown begin! Epson has just soft-launched its flagship Dreamio LCD home theater projector here in Singapore. For those clueless HD wannabes, the EMP-TW1000 is one of the latest 1080p beamers in town offering a high 12,000:1 dynamic contrast and bright 1,200 lumens light output. Best of all, it is going for an all-time low pricing of S$5,699 (US$3,749.34), with street prices closer to the lower 5K range.

Editors' note:

The Dreamio is Epson's first foray into 1080p HD projectors and is currently available for retail in the following Asian countries: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Hong Kong and Japan.

So, it doesn't come with DVI input or the motorized lens shift and zoom functions of the S$6,599 (US$4,341.45) Mitsubishi HC5000. But, if you are sourcing for a cheap ticket to the full-HD experience, this is obviously the one to check out, taking into consideration its short 100-inch 3m throw distance which is perfect for confined spaces in urban dwellings.
