This is my first projector I’ve owned, And I’m very happy I chose this one from all 4 I had in my list.The Epson Hc 2150 had more features than the other, and on top of that I got it for $699.99 One of the features that is important for me was the Audio out connection,which lets you connect a AV receiver or any speaker with a 3.5mm input.The other feature I like is that Hdmi 1 input has MHL which you can connect your devices like your android,iOS,or Mac and have it projected on the wall or projector screen.This projector has wireless where I can wirelessly Miracast my mobile device .(Screen Mirroring) Me and the family love the movie nights and Playing video games on it.Epson HC2150 gives you a clear picture, I don’t have a projector screen yet so we project it on the wall for the moment.Speaker is loud enough for regular size living room. The fan is not loud how people say. Depending on the settings of the display is the fans loud performance. I have mine to normal or eco mode which fan noise decreases,and with audio you don’t even hear the fan at all. I truly recommend this projector,You won’t be disappointed even if I would’ve paid the full $899.99 which is the original price, it’s worh every dollar. Projector is light weight, the only Con: is that Epson doesn’t include a traveling bag or case to store it after use.Since I don’t own where I’m living I can’t mount it on ceiling or wall. I hope Epson would start including a projector bag or case since it’s a $900 projector.

I have recently become very interested in projectors. I bought a small anker Portable projector a couple years ago that kinda kick started my interest. I finally started doing some research about projectors and have learned that the technology in Epson’s line of projectors called “3LCD” chips do not project a rainbow effect like traditional DLP projectors can. Anyway lol all that being said, the epson 2150 home cinema projector is pretty amazing! It is bright enough to use with some window or ambient lightning even in eco mode. Colors are very vibrant and even blacks are as dark as they should be. The fan is also hardly noticeable when in eco mode. If you set it to bright the fan will kick up speed and you’ll hear it if you’re sitting near the projector but even then it isn’t very bothersome. Especially if you have nice speakers connected to the projector. It has two HDMI ports, VGA and audio out. The built in speaker doesn’t sound very good but it is fine if you’re in a pinch. You’re going to want to connect a good speaker for home entertainment anyway. I was on the fence for about two weeks between this projector and two other brands of DLP projectors great claimed to be “gaming” projectors and I am very glad I decided to go with the epson projector. I binged movies and tv for 7 hours the first night I set it up :D . I also tested it with the Nintendo switch and gaming on it was fine. Epson states that it has a 29.2 ms “input lag” and it honestly felt responsive. I played Mario Kart with no issues. It might not be good for hardcore gamers but I would compare it to playing on a tv with game mode turned on. I think it will be just fine for shooters and fighting games too. The pictures I am sharing are about a 90/100” picture on a plain white wall. I don’t have a screen set up yet and as you can see, picture quality is still very good! I highly recommend this projector if you are looking for a very good “affordable” projector. Pros : Bright and vivid picture quality Great contrast Vertical and horizontal keystone adjustment Vertical Lens shift Good for gaming 4500-7500 hour projected lamp life No rainbow effect WiFi , Bluetooth and miracast Cons : built in speaker isn’t very good

I have been wanting a projector for awhile to give my older children that drive in experience .So I went for it !!! What a great buy ...I love it so much we use it for everyday tv watching as well !Can't wait for warm weather for outdoor backyard movie night with my familyespecially my grand daughter ...

Worth the money. Purchased 2 mini projectors and didn’t do the job. Purchased a projector half the price and it didn’t convince me. I had to step up and get this one. Worth it. Great picture quality. Easy to use. Image looks great even with light. Clear 1080 picture. Happy with my first Epson printer. Get one and enjoy being outside with your loved ones.

The Epson 2150 is Epson’s newest entry into the entry level home theater projector. While Epson does have a couple cheaper options, I’d venture to guess most home theater users wouldn’t look too much lower on the price totem pole if they’re being serious about a home theater. Epson’s 2150 is a bit more expensive than some of it’s DLP rivals, but the inherent advantages of their technology along with extremely strong fundamentals of the 2150 make it a must look for any home theater builder on a budget. Before I get into this review - I’m an Epson fan. They make solid projectors for the money and I’ve had great luck with them. I own a 730HD and an 8350 - so I have their low-end and higher end. First of all, what sets the 2150 apart from it’s little brother the 2100? Very little - except Epson is using a better LCD matrix in the 2150 to drive a much higher contrast ratio (60000:1 vs 35000:1). My recommendation is to only consider the 2150 unless you’re doing projection in a bright room and want $50 back in your pocket. Moving on - what sets the 2150 apart in it’s market? Well, first of all, while Epson’s are more expensive than some other entry level 1080p DLP projectors, Epson brings some advantages to the table that may be game changing. For me the biggest is no DLP rainbows. I’m pretty sensitive to them, and LCD tech is immune to them. Another thing you get is fewer moving parts. Essentially LCD projectors are more reliable long term. One big thing that’s fairly unique in the sub-$1000 projector market is lens shift. While the 2150 only offers vertical lens shift, this means you get pretty flexible placement on center with your screen. Unfortunately the lens shift isn’t as flexible as I would have liked - essentially allowing you to put the projector closer to the bottom of the screen, but it’s still quite good to have. The Epson also sports some stunning color and brightness for the money. The rated output is 2500 lumens, and while that may not match all it’s competitors, it’s still quite bright. When you look at rated output, keep in mind that you want to find a projector that is bright enough, but not too bright for your environment. The Epson rides a line that is just about perfect for all but the brightest environments. I have a relatively dark room, and I found that the cinema setting with eco on was my best bet. The benefit is that the projector is really quiet at this setting. It’s still quite bright at this setting. Brighter than my previous Epson 8350. The 2150 comes set out of the box on Bright Cinema - which is geared for a living room more than a movie room. Either setting produces wonderfully accurate color. The downside to Bright Cinema setting is the fan noise. It’s quite a bit louder, which is probably fine for an environment like sport watching, but might be distracting for moving watching. Black levels are about what you’d expect from an LCD projector. Epson has had great technology in this area, but for a price. The 8500UB was amazing compared to the 8350 I ended up purchasing years ago, but it was also much more costly. The 2150 sports dark grays when it comes to black levels. Even with the auto-iris, black bars are a dark gray instead of black - but the effect is not as bad as I might even make it sound. It’s something you get used to - especially if you’re budget for a projector isn’t that of a used car. Dark movies still benefit from the auto-iris - which is head and shoulders above the one found in my 8350. Even set on high speed I couldn’t hear it operate (older models sound like a hard dive. Image quality is top notch. I compared this directly to my 8350, and convergence was quite a bit better on my 2150 sample - white lines were very white. Generally colors were spot on out of the box. The 2150 has a few more tricks up its sleeve too. While out of vogue, it supports 3D with active RF glasses (not included). It also supports image interpolation which smooths motion. Most people find this effect in film to be jarring, but for animation, and sports it’s pretty awesome. There are also quite a few features for connectivity. While this projector loses the more analogue inputs of it’s predecessor, it does have MHL-HDMI, HDMI, and VGA, USB, and Miracast screen mirroring. You can even download the iProjection app from Epson on the App Store and use it to project photos, videos and more from your iPhone. This worked, even if it was a bit clunky. Some Android phones can cast directly to it. Windows 8/10 laptops with proper drivers should be able to use the “Connect to a wireless display” option to project. I unfortunately didn’t have much luck with my laptop using this feature. Another cool feature is split screen, which lets you project two inputs simultaneously. Probably one of the more important features is audio out. If you are using this in a living room, being able to just jack a speaker from the line-out is a convenient addition. The built in speaker is rated at 10w, and does a decent job, but obviously is limited in both it’s dynamic range and volume. I didn’t notice any buzzing or odd sounds that my 730HD exhibits All in all the Epson 2150 is a pretty amazing projector for the money. Whether you’re looking for a portable projector to use outdoors, and need flexible audio connection options or you’re looking for a entry level home theater to use in a dark room, the 2150 is a great projector. It’s quiet, small, efficient, bright, vibrant, capable, and even offers 3D.
