Epson today announced it released two complete home entertainment systems, with the Ensemble HD 720 and Ensemble HD 1080 systems. As the product names suggest, the projectors are the main difference between the two packages, with the former capable of 720p (1280×720) HD images, the latter of 1920×1080 (1080p) resolution video. Other components part of each system include an audio/video source unit that doubles as an upconverting DVD player and a 150-Watt Atlantic Technology 5.1-channel surround sound system with a 10-inch subwoofer. The A/V receiver / DVD player has two HDMI inputs, with the surround speakers integrated into a custom cradle that holds the projector. The front-channel speakers are integrated in the screen’s hide-away housing. A universal remote with LCD screen is preprogrammed and controls all aspects of the systems, including the operation of the motorized screen.

The Ensemble HD 1080 system is priced at $6,999, while the HD 720 setup can be purchased for $4,999.
