Q: Is one hdmi wire all that is needed from the projector to the receiver.

A: Just one HDMI cable is necessary to go from the receiver to the projector

Q: Does the Epson 5030ub come with a full factory warranty or is it the warranty from Best Buy?

A: The best buy warranty "covers the bulb" but really it does not... Best buy will just send you a cheap generic bulb that may be out of spec (Not as much brightness, Produces more heat and fries the projector's electronics, won't last 5000 hrs, etc) and if it kills the projector, then Epson's warranty is invalid because it requires in-spec bulbs. Mfr warranty is 2yrs full parts and labor, they will overnight you a swap projector or you can send yours in for repair. If you use a Citi card you get another 2yrs from your credit card for free.

Q: Can I watch cable Tv with this projector?

A: Yes, you can watch cable TV with the projector.

Q: What kind of protector is required for this unit, and are there protectors available that mount to the ceiling???

A: undefined

Q: Hi i'm looking for a projector that plays great in the light , lets say midday . Am I delusional to think such a thing exists ?

A: the 5030UB has several settings including daylight and dynamic. The quality of the colors will really depend on the lighting in your room. Indirect light through a window is prbobaby ok, but if the sunlight is shining directly on the wall you are wanting to watch it....you will probably be disappointed. The brighter you watch it, the shorter the bulb life.

Q: What is the power requirements for the Epson 5030ub.

A: undefined

Q: Audio output?

A: This projector DOES NOT have any audio inputs or outputs, & it DOES NOT have any built-in speakers What it DOES have: 2 HDMI (for video only) 1 composite 1 component 1 PC 1 RS232C 1 Trigger Out (to send a signal to motorized screens to come down when the unit is turned on) If you want to use a Chrome Cast, you have to put that on your audio receiver (assuming it has a "monitor out:", that output will then need to go to the projector.

Q: What is the difference between 5030UB and 5030UBe

A: The "e" signifies that a wireless HDMI adapter is included.

Great projector for a modest price
I compared the Epson 5030UB to the Sony and Panasonic projectors of the same price range. I chose the Epson because of several factors. The bulb is rated at about 4000 hours.There is not much difference in light output in the ECO mode, which also would extend the life of the bulb. I also found that the cost of the replacement bulb was less than the others. This unit also has lens shift and keystone adjustments which make it very easy to align with the screen without moving the whole unit on its mounting. The unit also has motion interpolation modes, but not at levels that create that soap opera effect. Just enough to smooth the action and reduce blur. The menus are easy to use, and allow more changes than the average person will ever use. The picture quality was excellent right out of the box. I do recommend the picture dynamic setting for best brightness and picture. I am using a 120 in , 1.8 gain, light rejecting screen by Elite, in a light controlled room. The projector is 15 feet away from the screen at 8 ft height. Although it is not completely dark in the room, the picture is bright. I would recommend a high gain screen to help increase the brightness. The 3d operation was smooth using the RF glasses. No drop outs like the passive glasses. Watching Avatar in 3D was almost as good as the theater, although obviously a smaller screen. I am very impressed by this unit and would recommend it for a small home theater. The next step up in projectors is about $5000 plus, so this is a lot of bang for your buck.

The projector is great!
I decided on this projector after I reviewed others similar. It was easy to hookup, adjust to my screen size and connect to all my sources. The image is bright and sharp. The 3D option works perfectly with my Direct TV 3D channels.

Best Super Bowl Party Ever!
This projector amazed everyone at my Super Bowl party this year! This is not a projector with funky looking colors and picture that you'll find in a conference room. I have a 70" Sharp Quattron LCD that is hard to compare but I can say the LCD certainly doesn't look better. This projector is that good! I'm using a 107" 16x9 screen. On an overcast day with two windows and a double slider wide open it's usable in its "Living Room" mode. At night the THX mode is the way to go... It looks of the same quality picture you see at a new movie theatre no joke. The black levels are as perfect as I've seen the auto Iris does a great job. Only complaints are that the factory THX mode is set for low bulb brightness (like Eco mode). It took a couple of weeks digging around in the menus to really figure everything out and realize that I was not using it at it's full potential. Additionally, you're going to want some volume on the home theatre system when using this projector with full brightness and auto Iris. It's not the quietest in those modes. Once the movie gets going you won't notice it though. I would buy this model again no problem! The image I posted is daytime, window shades open, 720p cable box.
