Epson EMP-TWD1 - Projector/DVD Combo

EpsonEMP-TWD1 showed off LCD Projector / DVD player combo at IFA2005 in Berlin. The projector also acts as a surround system powered by JVC. The device looks more like a laser printer than a projector and weighs 7kg (about 14 pounds). Epson EMP-TWD1 is capable of playing back not only DVD but also still images on CD. And since this device is all-in-one Epson made it into a HiFi system as well. Just stick the CD in and play.
