Epson Home Cinema 5050UB Featured on KMSB Fox 11 Segment

Home entertainment and technology continue to evolve. We have more choices and more ways to get the content. We are taking a look at a product which was introduced earlier this month and has many people amazed by the quality, including me!

For Years Epson, a company synonymous with Printers and Scanners has been producing projection systems for both home and office. The quality in these devices continues to get better and this is partly due to the demand of the consumer and the technology.

Our first time looking at Home Projection and we picked the fantastic Epson 5050UB 4K PRO UHD Projector. The Epson 5050UB delivers a 4K theater experience with technology to drive 1080 resolution up by digitally rearranging the pixel with a Pixel shifting processor.

What’s truly amazing is the brightness and depth of color; this is achievable in part with the 3 Chip Projector design or 3LCD. Most of the earlier projectors dealt with one while the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB offers 3 to process the colors for a vibrant picture.

The bright picture is processed by 2600 lumens. Another technology which delivers in the Home Cinema 5050UB is the Epson Ultra Black Technology. No Washout of the darker black areas!

The Epson can deliver stunning results in a large room or small due to the Pixel Shift technology. A variety of Inputs and Modes include Cinema, Digital Cinema and even 3D Cinema with a 3D Enabled playback device and Epson compatible 3D Wear.

Priced at around 2999.99 we give you a firsthand look at this massive Home Cinema 5050UB

KMSB Fox 11 Daybreak – Taking a look at the Asus Chromebook C523NA

For today’s segment Andy Taylor of TechtalkRadio visited the KMSB Fox 11 Studios and shared some info on the Asus Chromebook. We are hearing more of students in both the high school level as well as in some of the Tucson Area Trade Schools and Continuing education using Chromebooks for not only school but also many of the features we use windows or apple based computers on.

A question that some salespeople are asked in regards to Chromebooks is “Does it run windows?” The short answer is No, however some modifications can be done to enable this but honestly, Why? Over the years we have seen the Chromebook develop into a real player in the Mobile Laptop space with the Google OS (Operating System) While for some it may take a little getting used to however with Google Docs, Users can create documents and save – print and share these. Users can take full advantage of the cloud with the online service on a WiFi connection however users can also work offline with the Chromebook.

We are looking at the Asus C523NA which I picked up for under $300 with Touchscreen. This Intel Pentium N4200 Processor at 1.10Ghz based machine features 64GB internal storage which may seem minuscule compared to 512GB to 1TB we see on higher end Laptops running the Microsoft Windows Operating system however the concept is a machine that is battery saving, lighter and integrates well with the Internet. For those that have a preference to using Microsoft Products, Office Online is available as an App giving access to a version of Word and Excel for starting at a 6.99 a month fee which includes Skype Video Calling.

The Chromebook comes equipped with an HD Cam. The Google Product Line allows you to upload and download photos, share them within google photos – All that is a part of the Google Apps. The C523NA features 2 USB 3.0 slots and a satisfying battery life of around 6-10 hours of course depending on the work you are doing. It works with the Google Chrome browser.

While Andy may not want to qualify this us a laptop only due to confusion between Windows Based Laptops and Mac Books
it essentially is, but running Google OS.

The price is right as well – You can find Chromebooks very reasonably priced at under $300
