The Epson MovieMate 60 – The All-in-Wonder

The newest Epson MovieMate is the epitome of the all in one home theater. As you can see in the picture, the MovieMate 60sports an internal CD/DVD player, speakers and a microphone input. You quite literally do not need anything else to watch a movie. It kicks out the picture with a 2,000 lumen lamp through 3 LCD’s and can put a 120-inch image on a wall from just 12 feet away.

It may look rather large in the picture but I assure you, it’s quite portable. it only takes up 5″ x 9.3″ x 3.4″ and weighs a measly 9.7 pounds. There is also a paddded carrying case for transportation that makes use of the projector’s built in handle. Epson really wants to make this a home theater that you can take anywhere.

It outputs at the new 16:9 ratio and supports widescreen HD content seamlessly. It also makes use of recent plug-and-play technology so that you can connect your computers, flash cards, digital cameras, MP3 players and camcorders without incident. Epson has made it incredibly simple to plug in a flash drive and project a slide show.

Where the MovieMate will lack will be in resolution and display. They really want you to have it in the basement for movie nights, but still have the ability to take it out to the pool at night for the kids. I think that for what you pay, you get one hell of a good product.

The Epson MovieMate 60 should begin shipping October 12th so go get your pre-orders in.
