Epson has announced the release of its latest combo projector, the MovieMate 55 which offers a CD/DVD player in addition to the actual projector.
The company says that video can be played from iPods and music can be played from any media device. PCs and gaming consoles can be connected and viewed through the MM55 as well as picture CDs and content from USB flash drives.
The projector features "a new E-TORL lamp is used and is claimed to output 1200 lumens in both color and white light."
Electronista adds that the projector "produces a 16:9 aspect ratio image. A 60" size can be obtained when the MM 55 is placed 6 feet away from the screen, or a 120" size when placed 12 feet. The CD/DVD player is standard definition (480p) progressive scan. Sound is output through two 8 watt speakers."
The projector is shipping soon and will be available in October for $700 USD.
