The MegaPlex combo of projectors comprising the MG-850HD and MG-50 has been announced by Epson. They allow users to share media content such as music, pictures, movies and videos through their iPhones.
Claiming to provide incredible brightness, these projectors come with stereo speakers and built-in docks for the iPhone. Users can easily set them up at home or office and watch movies, presentations, share pictures and enjoy content saved on portable devices. They are enabled to project, play and charge their iPhone as well as share content from other media devices such as smartphones, PCs, tablets, gaming consoles, etc.
“MegaPlex is the ideal big screen projector for the new digital lifestyle. Enabling consumers to share multimedia content from their iPod, iPhone, iPad and a wide assortment of other digital devices, MegaPlex is changing the way movies, gaming, slideshows, presentations, music, and more are viewed by eliminating the confinement of a smaller screen. With the high-quality, versatility and portability of Epson’s MegaPlex solutions, consumers can literally dock their iPad, iPhone or iPod, click and immediately share multimedia content on a big screen wherever they may be,” commented Jason Palmer, product manager, Epson America
The projectors come equipped with 3LCD technology that is responsible for delivering seemingly rich, vivid colors. The MG-850HD and MG-50 offer 720p and 540p high-definition resolution respectively. The former delivers high brightness of 2,800 lumens of color and white light output, the latter features 2,200 lumens. These figures are believed to make them apt for large screen viewing even in dark environs.
Integrated with two 10W stereo speakers, devices can even be used separately as a speaker dock with four optimized audio modes. Users can incorporate their narrations along with slideshow presentations or even sing karaoke via the microphone input. Featuring USB Plug ‘n Play instant setup, the portable projectors also include HDMI and VGA inputs for versatile connectivity and flexibility. They are compatible with Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360.
The Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD and MG-50 projectors will be available later this month through select retailers and the Epson online store. Their pricing details have not yet been revealed. However, these devices will be accompanied by a two-year limited warranty.
