HDTV shoppers with a budget of around $2000 will have a new option come November. The Epson Powerlite 6100 1080p HDTV projector will go on sale for $1999. Until now, projectors had priced themselves out of most shopper’s budgets.

With another budget projector, the Sanyo PLV-Z700 ($1995), joining the fray, it seems $2000 is the new entry-level price for those looking for a 1080p projector.

The Epson 6100 offers the following features:

• 2 HDMI 1.3a ports, S-Video / composite jack, and VGA connector.
•  3LCD (3-chip optical engine)
• Up to 1800 lumens
