Q: QuestionHow is the picture quality during the day? I want to use this to stream football outdoors during the day, but want to know the quality of the image before committing

Asked 1 year ago by Ricardo.

• A:Answer Hi Ricardo- We bought this projector to do exactly that - stream football outdoors during the day. Based on Epson's response to your question, we decided to purchase this projector and it absolutely did not work. We had a cloudy day, placed the projector in a completely shaded area, covered the back of the screen with a tarp to enhance picture quality, and even changed settings to project from the rear. Nothing worked. To top it off, we were charged a $135 restocking fee when we returned the projector we couldn't use. I typically never write a review but felt compelled to because we purchased this projector based on Epson's response to your question saying, "Hello Ricardo. The EF21 Projector has outstanding picture brightness. It uses 3-chip 3LCD technology, producing 1,000 lumens of color brightness (IDMS Rated) and 1,000 lumens of white brightness (ISO Rated) for day or night. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team." I just don't want others to be misled only to have the same experience we did.

Q: Questionconsole gaming is possible with this model

Asked 1 year ago by native.

• A:Answer Hello native. For basic console gaming where frame delay or image latency is not a factor in the game, then this projector should perform ok. It has a latency of about 5.6 frames or 93.3ms. However, for high-end consoles, where gaming with low latency is an absolute must, then you should consider other projectors like Epson Home Cinema 1080 with a frame latency of 2.3 or 38.34ms, or the Home Cinema 3800, with a frame delay of less than 1.0 (16.67ms) with both 1080p @ 60Hz and 4K @ 60Hz signals. Note: The projectors can have slight variations of frame latency due to variations in the input signals, and Signal settings in the projector’s menu. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
