Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thanks you buy is very very good thanks for my Review your products my family is lake

I use this for streaming my movies , it has a dedicated Google play .

It was very good to watch you room particularly nights

Used it for a little and found it worked pretty well with uneven surfaces. Decent during the day as well but having to run cables to it etc.. became too much of a hassle. No Netflix support but so you need a third party dongle. Supports eARC and didn’t notice any audio issues. Returned it and went with a UST as it fit my setup better.

I absolutely LOVE this projector! Seriously, hands down the best projector I have ever owned or used. This EpiqVision Mini EF12 has become the focal point of our home entertainment system. I have only one critique of this laser projector which I will get to towards the end of my review. The design is clean and simple (which I like) and rather unassuming. I mean hey - it’s a cube. You know what? This design works, as it blends in nicely with our home setup and breaks away from the more traditional flat, horizontal layout. The build quality is solid, with a firm feel and high-quality materials. The overall aesthetic is that of a sleek and premium product. Whether using the projector as a standalone product, or incorporating this into your home entertainment system, setup is incredibly easy. You have a headphone jack, one miniUSB input, one USB-A input, and two full HDMI ports (one of which supports ARC). I could write a whole article on integrating projectors into a home theatre and the setup options available. To be brief the HMDI w/ ARC allows you to have both audio and video through a single HDMI cable, thus preventing the need for a separate audio cable. You can also integrate the audio to an external sound bar or speaker system via Bluetooth or direct connect. On the topic of audio, as I mentioned this projector can be connected via Bluetooth, direct connect, or HDMI w/ ARC for audio. However, if you don’t have an external sound bar or speakers, or if you are taking this on the go and using the projector as a standalone unit, there are built in Yamaha speakers that are incredibly, incredibly good! Seriously the sound produced by these built-in speakers is nothing short of phenomenal. These are not your run of the mill speakers. The sound is clear and crisp even at higher volume levels with a virtual surround sound effect. I was really blown away by how good the speakers are. Definitely not something I expected from a projector. Now on to the video quality. HOLY COW! Impressive does not begin to describe the utterly amazing display. I said I was blown away by the audio quality, but the video quality I was legitimately stunned. Don’t get me wrong, I expected it to be good. But to be honest, I never expected the truly jaw dropping, near perfect display. Ok so first off, when you power the projector on the lasers will auto focus by displaying dots onto your viewing surface to determine the distance. It will also determine the angle of the projector in relation to the viewing surface then automatically make keystone corrections (which can also be made manually). Once the video is displayed on your viewing surface you will see what I mean about the amazing quality. As with any projector you will get the best quality by using a screen, especially one designed for that particular type of projector. But let me just say, even displayed onto a solid wall with minor texture, this video display is stellar. Incredibly bright, rich, deep colors. Clean motions, no lagging, no stuttering, no dropped frames, no going in and out of focus. It really is fantastic. While the projector will accommodate 4K input, it will not display 4K resolution. Any 4K input is scaled down to 1080P. But I’m here to say, the average user will never know. While the EpiqVision really takes much of the guesswork out of setting up, you still have the freedom to adjust any of the settings to meet your needs. You can obviously connect the projector to display from many input sources, and you can use the built in Chromecast to display images or video from other devices. Additionally their projector comes with Android TV built in, which allows you to access the Google Play Store to download apps such as Disney+, Hulu, and YouTube to stream directly from the projector. No external device needed. However, this brings me to my one point of contention. As of the time of this review, Netflix is NOT available as a download to this device due to the version of Android TV built into the system. Now, if you aren’t a Netflix subscriber this may not be a big deal, but for those of us who are it really is a disappointment. There are workarounds to this though whether it be casting, or connecting a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Apple TV to the projector itself. I should also point out Google Assistant is built in and works very well. Do yourself a favor, purchase this projector. You will not regret the decision. I genuinely enjoy using the EpiqVision and it really has become the focal point in our home entertainment system. I would absolutely recommend this device to a friend, family member, or anyone looking for a top of the line, premium laser projector.

This is a very compact and high-performance projector with very few drawbacks. It’s a little brown cube that’s approximately 7” x 7” by 5” tall. Out of that small package, it can project an image up to 150” diagonally and provides very good sound quality with its built-in Yamaha sound system. The build quality is excellent, and it’s packed with a lot of use and convenience features. As an Android TV device, you can stream content through a WIFI connection. Also, it is Chromecast enabled allowing streaming from a variety of mobile or computer sources. There are two HDMI connections, one of which is ARC enabled allowing connection to a soundbar or surround sound system. You can also connect a sound source via Bluetooth and use it as a speaker. There’s automatic keystone correction which gives you a squared up image without any manual adjustment needed. The remote pairs by Bluetooth eliminating any line of slight requirement. The laser-driven LCD projection is clear and sharp. It will accept 4K input, but the projected resolution is 1080 HD, not 4K. The only drawback due to its diminutive size is a light output of only 1000 lumens. With a modest-sized image, it’s enough in a low ambient light environment, but don’t expect too much if you have lots of windows and it’s a sunny day. That’s what 3000-5000 lumen projectors are for. If you want to project a 100” plus or size imager, it needs to be in a low light or night setting. I would call this a personal projector, and it’s certainly portable. I think it would have been a great addition if Epson included a carrying case or padded travel bag. It’s not intended to be the center of a large media room, but it would be easy to carry outside and use on the patio at night. It may be just the thing in this age of socially distancing and staying outdoors since it’s perfect for casting your digital pictures or streaming a movie for the kids. The bottom line is that this little fellow does everything it was designed to do and does it very well. The Android TV interface makes it friendly, modern, and convenient. The sound is quite good which avoids the need of setting up a separate speaker system for typical TV and movie use. As long as you’re not expecting 4K, high-intensity output, and booming bass, you’ll be very happy. There’s a lot for the money, and it comes in a small, easy to carry package.

Beautifully designed, amazing hardware in a small package and am quite impressed however mine brand new out of the box has a dead pixel on the red panel. Shows as a green dot on normal images but as a black dot on red. Blue and green screens have nothing showing but when playing video anything that requires red it shows.

This Epson projector is amazing! The actual projector is quiet (no loud whirring distracting from the audio), it has crystal clear picture, and the sound quality is amazing. I love that I can just connect my phone via Bluetooth so I don't need to worry about wires and/or cables getting in the way. We used it several times, including an impromptu movie "drive in" with our neighbors, which was a fun way to enjoy a movie while maintaining social distancing. The best part is that since the video is so clear and bright, even with our tan/off-white garage door, it didn't take away from the picture, and I didn't need to use a sheet or screen for it to work. The projector is also small enough to keep a low profile and lightweight, which makes setup so easy. I also enjoyed the remote control that came with it, so I didn't feel like I had to be right on top of the projector to get it setup. The original setup process was very user friendly and quick. I've only had it for a few weeks, but I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet! This is a review for the Epson Mini EF12 Smart Streaming Laser Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I bought the EF12 to replace my old Optoma ML500 LED projector. The EF12 has twice the resolution and more than enough extra features to make it a worthwhile investment for my art. I bought projectors for art projection specifically but I also appreciate the extra features for outdoor movie night and light gaming. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Seen in my photo, the projector will work for an artist in a bright room in a pinch, but it is much more visible at night. Some cons: The Chromecast app cost me $30 for a lifetime subscription and it's not very good. It works in a pinch when you don't want to muck about with wires, but you cannot zoom in on your photos, an essential need for an artist. I wish it had Apple Airplay installed but I'll make do. I can always connect via HDMI. Some users seem to think this will output 4k. They are wrong. It will downscale to 1080p, which is more than enough for my art needs. Pros: The industrial design is top notch and the Yamaha speakers are surprisingly good for such a small package. You can skip a bluetooth speaker for general use. Once again, the industrial design is five-stars. That little copper accent around the top is cool. I appreciate a highly-functional AND aesthetically pleasing electronic device. For art, this is super-portable and that's what I appreciate most. Messing around with the corner adjustment tool can be time consuming to get a perfectly rectangle projection but it's workable. One must take care not to look back into the beam when one is tracing art, but it's a tool that requires careful, mature use, just like properly using a box cutter blade.

The display of the screen has a blue tint that makes it look like everyone is a smurf, it’s unwatchable. very disappointed and ruined the super bowl show. the contrast ratio was excellent!

My family loves this thing! This was such a score for the sale price of $600. I have another epson projector that lives in the basement. But for the portability this little unit is a BEAST. My expectations are fully exceeded. Paired with a cheap 100” pull down screen and we have movie night in the yard! The sound is great quality for the form factor but I paired an anker rave neo Bluetooth speaker to it because we live near a busy road and I didn’t want to crank the volume up on the projector for the duration of a movie. However inside a large room the provided audio is more than adequate. All around I’m giddy about this little thing. Even the included carry case is robust and well padded. Compared to the other projectors I’ve looked at in the 600-800$ range this unit struck me as a value without compromising on spec. 10/10 would recommend.

I have had a chance to use the projector for gaming, casual tv shows and the typical movie night under the best conditions. I will try and keep it simple and to the point. I WILL START OFF BY SAYING I HAVE THE IMAGE PROJECTED ON A CINETENSION 2 WHITE SCREEN WITH 1:1 GAIN. THE QUALITY OF THE PROJECTION SCREEN OR WALL HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THE CRISP CLEAN IMAGE AND COLOR SATURATION. I KNOW THERE IS ALOT OF DEBATE BUT A WALL WITH A NON-SMOOTH SURFACE DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. The color looks amazing, the clean lines and detail of the image looks great although keep in mind that the video quality depends on the video source as far as it's HD source. I have wifi that supports HD streaming without any buffering or resolution adjustments to match the wifi speed. The image very bright in moderately lit areas, not in direct light or sunlight. The HD image is very clear and crisp. It is very portable and easy to pack up and take on the go. The sound quality of the built-in soundbar is suprisingly loud and clear. I used it to game with the ps5 and the quality was very good but i did experience some lag and some motion blur when playing fast paced games which is mostly all of them nowadays. It is good enough for casual gamers that want an affordable big screen gaming but aren't fanatical about motion blur or controller lag. I took a few pictures of the same image with the lights-dimmable, at 50% and 100% -100watt led equivalent bulbs {4 of them}. The other picture is with all the lights off and pretty much dark movie night scenario. Now before you say the image is terrible with the lights on, it looks worse in the pictures as opposed to in person but it's a projector with 1000 lumens and it's priced at under $1k. I was very happy with almost everything this projector offered, the build quality was also very nice it had a luxury/sturdy feel to it. CONS: Now the things i didnt like,,, The menu system leaves much to be desired, the navigation of the apps isn't that bad but the navigation of the setup options is not intuitive at all. The setup is a bit of a pain if you want a perfectly squared image. The keystone adjustment is not precise and once it locks in automatically and its not perfect it is a pain to reset it to try again for a better correction. You are better off using the manual correction options but again the controls dont make it easy to navigate to the settings and then tweaking is not precise and it seems like the options to get a nice level, squared off image are too simplistic. You really only have to options to manually center and correct the angle on your image. The corners of the image at 100 inches was not squared, the shape of the image was a bit trapezoid like but again this will only bother the perfectionist. The remote control is also not the best, i wish a better design was thought out with quick access buttons for image correction. I also think a wired ethernet option would have been nice but it was designed as a streaming projector so a ethernet jack or more input options are not an oversight and it's by design so i can not hold that against it. It sounds like i am harping on the image but once you get it right the image is AMAZING! especially at that price point! i definitely recommend the projector for the person who wants a serious step up in image quality from an LED but those serious home theater enthusiasts may find the lack of control over your image tweaking may find the menu system and image correction tools a little too simplistic. OVERALL I LOVEIT FOR MOVIE NIGHTS WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK FOR A SERIOUSLY CRISP IMAGE WITH NICE COLOR! HOPE THIS REVIEW HELPS YOU DECIDE!

I love this projector! It is so clear and really makes you feel like your watching on an actual television. It was so easy to set up and get up and running. I love how there is a remote control to navigate the projector and switch between apps. You can connect your amazon fire stick and it works perfectly! How great is that! You can also adjust the screen to fit your projector screen and its pretty easy to do. Make sure your projector is on a flat surface first before adjusting the corners or it wont be completely straight. You can tell by the shadow background that helps you align the corners. The great thing about this projector is even without a projector screen the picture quality is still pretty top notch! I can project on my wall and the picture quality is still great!! I would def recommend this projector. You will not regret it.

We’ve had the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 for almost three years now and honestly, it’s 100% worth it. We’ve moved apartments a few times since buying it, and it’s been way easier to pack and set up compared to a regular TV. No mounting, no hassle just plug it in, set it on the stand, and go. We bought this projector stand: "Projector Stand, Floor Projector Shelf, 360° Swivel, Height Adjustable" and it’s been perfect. We mainly use the projector in our bedroom at night for shows and movies, and once in a while, we bring it out to the patio the stand makes it super easy to move around. We’ve only used it for gaming once or twice, but it worked fine. It handles some daylight just fine too. During the day with some light in the room, the picture still looks pretty good. But of course, it looks best at night. We have blackout curtains in the bedroom, so brightness has never been an issue for us. The picture is solid (1080p is enough for us), and the sound is actually really impressive. It easily fills the room we don’t even use external speakers. The only downside is it doesn’t come with Netflix because of the Android TV version. We got around it by using a spare Chromecast with Google TV on one of the HDMI ports, so it’s not a big deal. Also, no Ethernet jack, but Wi-Fi has worked just fine for us. One tip: turn off the auto-resize feature. We noticed that sometimes it would mess with our screen dimensions, and we’d have to reconfigure everything. Once we turned it off and set it manually, it’s been perfect every time we power it on. All in all, super happy with this projector.

This is a great projector, but i can't give it 5 stars because of the few drawbacks. Most of the other people also wrote about the pros and cons, so most will be redundant. I use this in our backyard and will take it to camping. I bought a power supply since this unit doesn't have a battery, which to me is also a con. PROS: 1. Lightweight and portable. Easy to carry around. 2. It's very bright for a portable projector. 3. Auto adjust is a hit and miss sometimes and could be a con when it doesn't work, but I'll still give it a pro because most of the time, it's great, not perfect but passable. 4. Audio is loud. There is no need to get an external speaker for our small yard unless you have a big yard with a lot of people. CONS: 1. No optical zoom. You'll need to move the projector or use the digital zoom. 2. No internal battery. This is just me, but for something to be called portable, i expect it to work without connecting to AC power. I resolved this issue by buying a power supply, but that's added cost. You can also use an extension cord, but i was trying to avoid that with my setup. 3. No Netflix and low quality format for Vudu. I have a lot of movies in vudu and tried to watch the new Super Mario Bros movie with the kids, but the quality was so bad we had to watch something in disney Plus or youtube. The resolution is to buy a roku stick and connect it to the power supply, but again, another added cost. Also, note that if you only connect the roku stick to the projector without connecting to an AC outlet, there's a chance there won't be enough power output to the roku stick, and it won't work. That happened to me, but luckily, my power supply has multiple outlets. 4. Carrying bag/case. I could only find the case for this projector from the epson website and it's pretty expensive and because of the size and shape of the projector i had to find one that was big and wont offer as much protection but offers plenty of room to store the roku stick, remotes and cables. I believe the cost for the genuine case is a $100, but again another added cost. VERDICT: still love the projector that the pros overcome the cons for me. I just had to spend an extra $500 or so for the case, roku stick and power supply if you truly want an outdoor cord freee movie experience.

Love this projector! Speakers are great, google tv is a great OS, I can control it from my phone, launch shows directly ftom the home page, Color and brightness are great, works well eoth lights on or off. Covers the whole wall whole remaining clear

Verdict: This projector is just about everything we ever wanted in a projector. Image quality and brightness are exceptional, sound is fantastic, and streaming is very convenient. Overall, this projector is a great option for home, travel, and business. We already use it at home almost daily, and we plan to travel with it to watch family movies. First impressions. It’s a space efficient single cube unit that incorporates what appears to be a pretty large speaker (almost half the unit). It is fairly light weight. It has sufficient connection options with 2 HDMI, USB, and earphone jack. It also includes a nicely-designed remote control. Image. With 1000 lumens, the projector is plenty bright. The image is visible in full daylight, but obviously not ideal. With a little bit of shade, the image is watchable during the day, even on a 100” display. In the dark, the brightness and 1080p resolution provides a fantastic viewing experience, even on very large screen (up to 150”). Of note, the projector is capable of 4k resolution, so it is future proof. Contrast ratio is also excellent, so image quality is exceptional all around. Sound. I was not expecting such a high-end integrated speaker to be included… Wow! The Yamaha speaker and discreet amplifier provide impressive quality and plenty of volume to enjoy without any additional hardware. This is one of the particularly compelling features of this projector because you don’t need to bring anything except the projector, the remote, and the power cable to use it. Just plug, project against a wall if you have to, and enjoy quality video and sound. Features. The projector includes Android TV, which means that you can connect to your WiFi network and start streaming content right away! No need to connect to a computer!! That was a strange thing to get used to. Projectors used to be useless without a connection to content… well not anymore! Integrated apps include YouTube, CNN, Vudu, and Disney Plus. A few more specific streaming apps would have been nice, but we found an easy work-around. Another feature I love is the auto focus and auto keystone. This is really nice because with a portable projector, it is particularly annoying to have to readjust the focus and keystone manually every time you move it. Manual adjustments take at least a few minutes, and more if you have a complicated setup. The auto focus and auto keystone can also be activated when needed from the remote control; this is really nice feature. I really like the inclusion of an audio jack (3.5 mm); I’ve used it a few times already to watch content on the projector while my wife was sleeping. Screen mirroring (from a smart phone or tablet) has been working very well for me, and opens up a lot of possibilities for usage, such as using workout apps to exercise. Lastly, the projector also has a small treaded hole on the underside for mounting. Usage. To enjoy this projector, we purchased a 135” indoor/outdoor portable screen (see picture), and the experience has been amazing. We can setup the screen and projector in just a few minutes, use the auto focus and auto keystone to get a great image in just a few seconds, and then we can start streaming content right away. We also plan to use it for outdoor movie nights. This will be a great device for family events. Things I love. - 1000 lumens provide ample brightness - 1080p native resolution, and capable of 4k resolution (future proof!) - High quality integrated sound from Yamaha speakers - Built-in Android TV! - Auto focus and auto keystone; such a nice feature to have! I hope it keeps working this well - Pretty quiet so far; there is a big built-in fan, but we haven’t noticed it kicking-on - The retractable kickstand is nice to make minor height adjustments - Screen mirroring actual works well Things I don’t love. - I wish it included a few other specific streaming apps that we like. To get around this, we just plugged a streaming stick in one of the HDMI ports to have access to the rest of our content (see picture). Also, as another work-around, for some missing streaming apps you can screen-mirror from your personal device directly onto the projector - A travel bag would have been nice. I would pay a little more for the projector if it included one. We plan to order a travel bag for this projector Overall, this is a winner! Beside two apps that we think should be included with Android TV, this projector is everything we could wish for. It is small and portable enough, includes a high-quality speaker, provides exceptional video quality, and enables direct WiFi streaming. We LOVE it!

Great picture quality. Easy to adjust picture and size on the wall. Works great with a ceiling mount. Small in size to take outside. I got a carry case. We replaced our tv with this and have been very happy overall with the performance.we did get a soundbar as the speaker is a little lacking. Kids love that is a movie theatre all the time. Picture is pretty good in the sunlight but works best in darker situations. Would recommend

I recently purchased the Epson mini projector from Best Buy and couldn't be happier with both the product and the service provided. First off, Best Buy's shipping was lightning-fast. I received the projector within one day of ordering, which was incredibly convenient. Now, onto the projector itself—it's simply amazing!

The brightness and color accuracy exceeded my expectations, making movie nights at home feel like a cinematic experience. Setting up the projector was straightforward, and the included accessories were of high quality. The projector's design is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into my home entertainment setup. I want to give a special shoutout to Best Buy's customer service. They made the whole purchasing process smooth and hassle-free. From ordering online to delivery, everything went without a hitch. I appreciate the attention to detail and care that Best Buy demonstrated throughout. Overall, if you're looking for a projector under $1000, I highly recommend this model from Best Buy. It's an outstanding choice for anyone seeking impressive visuals without breaking the bank. With top-notch service and a fantastic product, Best Buy has certainly earned my trust as a go-to destination for electronics.

We love our projector and it has brought our family movie and game night to a new level outdoors. We have a side yard and project to the side of our house. The image is great and as well as the brightness. We take out a Bluetooth center bar and sub woofer and pair them to the projector for a great sound. Very easy to operate. Highly recommend!
