Epson - Home Cinema 2250 1080p 3LCD Projector with Android TV - White

This is my first projector and at $799 (sale price), this is on par with other smart projectors such as the BenQ TH685i. Overall, this projector makes me wish I had a 4K version instead. This is a true native 1080p projector which can process a 4K signal, it just outputs in 1080p. Also, this is a 3D capable projector with the right 3D glasses. Setup: Right out of the box, this projector was very easy to setup if you have any familiarity with setting up apps. It weighs about 8 lbs, so not that heavy. Build quality seems to be okay for being made out of primarily plastic. This projector is running Android TV version 9 and once you connect to WiFi, there is an update to install. I was able to quickly log into my apps such as YouTube, Disney+, ESPN and Hulu without issue. After dialing in the picture settings to get everything looking as best as it could, the entire process took about an hour from unboxing to initial setup. Likes: The overall footprint (size) seems to be on the smaller side compared to other projectors I have seen. Having genuine built-in Android TV is great. There are plenty of “Smart” projectors on the market with non-native versions of Android which can cause problems with Apps if those operating systems are not approved by popular Apps such as Netflix or Disney+. Epson made the right choice by going with genuine Android TV. The brightness is rated at 2700 lumens and I feel this has been bright enough for my purposes of having a projector in the bedroom. You can seem my pictures where I show the image in different lighting. Dislikes: The fan noise on eco mode is barely noticeable, but once you change the setting to bright or dynamic, it gets pretty loud. Also, this produces some heat. This might be expected from all projectors, I just didn’t know it would put out this much hot air. This projector doesn’t have ARC. Your audio choices are limited which are the mono 10 watt speaker, Bluetooth, or Auxiliary. Lastly, out of the box, this projector has a dead or stuck pixel in the far left side (see picture) and it makes some sort of grinding noises best way to describe it. This being my first projector, I have no clue what that noise could be. Oh by the way: The mono speaker in our bedroom setting is okay, but in our living room it was definitely too weak. We had to connect an external speaker to the Aux cable. The 1080p picture is noticeable, at least to me. If I had the funds or opportunity to compare a 4K projector, I feel the 4K picture would likely be more “crisp”. For my first projector, this almost met all my expectations.

Quick Pros -Easy -Long list of popular apps -Built in chromecast (if you don't want to sign in the apps) -advertised as Android projector but also easy to use with iphone -Adjustable size and focus -Very bright -Price (Not pricey compared to HD projectors and still amazing quality) Setup: I didn't even have to open the instructions. Just followed the prompts. It looks like it's more geared to Android but I had no issues connecting with my iphone. Quick setup and very easy to adjust size and focus. There is a long list of popular apps you can sign into. I've had issues with other projectors having limited options and even then not always letting you sign in easily. If you don't have time to sign in or maybe your friend has it on their phone, the Chromecast is also really quick and easy to use. Brightness: I took pictures. They don't do it justice because they're a little blurry but just want to give you an idea of how bright it is. Most projectors are good at night. The question is if you can use it with some light. This is a picture of it with a window completely open across from the wall I'm projecting on and midday. The wall is also partially painted white and some brown. The scene is also lighter. Just wanted to show even with all that, you can still easily see the picture. It's impressive how bright it is and much better when curtains are closed and after the wall was completely painted.

First, I was amazed how easy the set up was. The only issue that was challenging was finding the HDMI input which was hidden behind a magnetized panel on the rear. The built in google OS was easy to log into after I got the wifi working. I was able to download YouTube TV and Prime Video which are my two main services so was all happy there. I had a roku hdmi insert ready but there was simply no need. I have been extremely pleased with my decision to buy this. Not a full five stars because nothing is perfect in life.

It's a great projector for home theater! Kids and cat love it. Have it displaying at over 100" and is very bright and clear. Connects easily to bluetooth speakers and the built in speaker is also surprisingly loud! It's easy to connect to WiFi and directly stream from Disney+, Netflix, Youtube etc, or connect with smartphone via Chromecast. If you're familiar with Android software then navigation is a breeze.

This projector is great. At first i was worried about getting a 1080p projector, but this thing is sharp! Great adjustment features, and android tv works perfectly. It is nice having a fast service like android tv already on the projector. The only complaint is that I wish it had more ports. Other then that I really like it!

Bought this to enjoy movie night with my Family. The image is very clear. Did not loose any quality compared to our UHD 4K TV. At the moment we are just using the wall as a screen and are very impressed. Paired it with an LG sound bar and sub woofer and it really feels as if we are in a theater. Extremely satisfied with this product.

My very first projector. Easy and fast to set up. I love the different options you have with android tv and pairing with Bluetooth. I love the crisp sound speaker and crisp picture quality. The fan is not loud at all compared to others. Everything went smoothly. No lagging. Love how it came with two controllers. It’s not convenient but two is better then one.
