Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was our first projector and it was an easy set up. The picture is amazing!!! Would recommend this for first time buyers:)

Has great lumens and picture quality is beyond what I expected. Using for a space that is well lit and for 500 people

This projector does all we want and is making our home movie nights something friends and family look forward to.

Easy to operate and super clear resolution. Detailed picture and nice for presentation.

This projector is exactly what I was looking for. Recommend.

I purchased the Home Cinema 1440 without any first-hand reviews available on-line simple based on Epson's reputation for reliable office projectors. The 1440 form factor is based off of those office projectors, so it isn't truly a home theater projector from the ground up, but it certainly has the guts of one! I am pleased with my purchase and have enjoyed a few good movies on the setup already. The background story is this is an upgrade from a circa 1997 Sharpvision XV-H37U 3-LCD projector that at the time was state of the art. My old record-sized laser disks looked wonderful on it, but you would need to watch them at night or go through lengths to darken the room due to the low lumens of the projector. Somewhere along the line the bulb blew about 8 years ago, and it wasn’t worth fixing it due to bulb expense and that technology was marching on. I ceiling mounted the new projector, and struggled with finding the setting for flipping the image. It wasn’t in an intuitive location in the menus. Once found though, it was a breeze setting things up. I then played a Blue-Ray of “The Life of PI” while setting up the image. All I can say is I was STUNNED at the brightness, color saturation, and resolution of the image. This is on a screen that is 110” diagonal. Something I always liked about 3-LCD projectors is the apparent lack of being able to see individual R,G,B pixels on the output. The colors are blended on top of each other making the output look more like film than a TV. One thing this projector lacks is a very high contrast ratio rating. The assumption is that the far brighter output of this LCD projector requires a different technology to pass more light, so the blacks are not quite as black as some. For me, this isn’t an issue as experience shows that a bright high contrast image will “splash” light around a room and reflect off of the screen negating the need for “black” in a front projector. The only remedy is a darkly decorated room. So paired up with a new Yamaha RX-A1050 and a bunch of old mis-matched speakers, we watched a Blue-Ray of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Yikes! At the beginning when the old man comes up the stairs with the flashlight to Voldemort, it lights up the room like the flashlight was actually there! And this is in ECO mode to stretch bulb life to 4400 hours as rated. We then watched Despicable Me, and as usual, 3-LCD imagery has great color on animated movies. Pay attention to those Color Lumens people, it is truly a great rating that separates business projectors from Home Theater. Some notes: If you mount the projector with the optics centered on the screen and at the correct distance and height from your screen, you won’t need to keystone correct the image so you can maximize the resolution of the unit. Otherwise this projector will down-scale lines digitally, not optically to correct the image. Still, there is plenty of resolution to work with. ECO mode fan noise is very low, on full output the fan spins up faster and it becomes more audible. The projector is mounted directly overhead in our setup. I haven’t yet figured out how to have the projector turn on and off with the receiver. Many settings to wade through on the receiver still.

Projector works well though for my application it really needs to be brighter however most would not want a 300 inch screen from it.

Great projector. In the family room. Shows great during the day, even better at night.

Much better than what I had, easy set up, crisp and clear, my family loves it

The projector was easy to install and use. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have had this for thirty days now works great had to mount to

I just upgraded to a 1080p and I love this projector

Great..............awesome..........................

It's a 16 / 10 projector that has limited alignment abilities. Most likely requiring new mounting in ceiling. 16 / 10 does not align with screens made for 16 / 9.
