Epson MovieMate 85HD

If you like the idea of having your own home theater, but don't have the room or budget for a full-fledged setup, the Epson MovieMate 85HD ($899.99 direct) may be what you're looking for. The 85HD is what's known as an instant home theater. It combines a 720p HD projector, a DVD player, and a stereo sound system in a single, compact box. Plug it in, point it at a blank wall or a screen, and you're ready to watch a movie. Instant home theaters are something of a niche product, with most, if not all, of the currently available models coming from Epson, including the Epson MovieMate 60 ($699.99 direct, 4 stars) and Epson MovieMate 72 ($1099.99 direct, 3.5 stars). Most people who want a home theater get a projector, DVD player (or more likely a Blu-ray player), and sound system separately, and they set them up in a permanent location, even if they don't dedicate the room strictly to home theater. For those who don't have enough space or don't want to spend the money, however, any of these instant theater models can be a welcome - not to mention affordable - alternative.

Epson MovieMate 85HD

Buying a projector to show movies on the side of your house on warm summer evenings is akin to owning a boat. It’s an absolute blast the first few times, but it soon devolves into a chore: Drag out the projector. Drag out the speakers. Drag out the screen (or the white bedspread you’ll hang on the wall as a substitute). Drag out the table to put the gear on. And then you have to brave the dust bunnies to unplug the DVD player from your TV and drag that out, too. Pretty soon, you find yourself telling the kids, “Um, let’s just watch inside on the flat screen, OK?” Epson’s MovieMate series has long addressed those kids’ sad faces by making it easy and fun to watch movies outside. An all-in-one model, the MovieMate 85HD combines an HD projector with an integrated DVD player and stereo speakers. When you want to screen that hot new animated feature for the kids, all you need to do is plug in an extension cord, hang the bedspread, and set the projector on a chair. It’s an instant backyard drive-in—without the fumes! The MovieMate 85HD improves on its predecessor, the MovieMate 75, by boosting its output rating to 2,500 lumens and increasing bulb life to approximately 5,000 hours.
