New Epson PowerLite G5000 Offers Ideal Solution for any Auditorium, Classroom or Boardroom

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Feb. 23, 2009 – Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide1, today launched the Epson PowerLite® G5000, the latest in Epson’s  line of installation projectors designed to provide flexibility, performance and easy installation for executive boardrooms and educational institutions. Offering XGA resolution and 4,000 lumens white light output and 4,000 lumens color light output2, the network-ready PowerLite G5000 utilizes industry-leading 3LCD technology to deliver advanced image quality and powerful visual presentations.

The PowerLite G5000 provides easy installation using greater positioning flexibility with a centered lens design, vertical/horizontal lens shift mechanism, and Quick Corner®, an adjustment tool allowing for individual corner manipulation to fit the image to the screen. This new projector is also engineered to interface and integrate with sophisticated programming and controller applications, as well as work with modules and drivers for industry-leading systems, including touch-panel screens and multiple content devices.

“The PowerLite G5000 represents Epson’s commitment to creating high-quality projection technology that produces astounding quality, reliability and precision control,” said Edgar Jimenez, associate product manager, Epson Projection, Epson America. “The easy maintenance and low cost of ownership features, coupled with powerful projection technology, make this an ideal choice for cost-sensitive installations that require professional performance.”

To assist with greater flexibility, the Epson PowerLite G5000 provides Epson Easy Management™ as well as RJ-45 connectivity, which gives system administrators the power to remotely monitor and control the projector via the network. In addition, the projector offers one-touch filter replacement for convenient maintenance, saving time even on installed units, and easy side lamp access for quick lamp replacements, all resulting in a low total cost of ownership.
