    Great Projector

    This was my first projector and I did a lot of research on the technologies and features before hand. I have this set up about 16' feet back from my wall ( no screen) and mounted from the ceiling. It casts about a 180" screen -HUGE, and it is so incredibly clear. If you run it in bright cinema mode the picture is so crisp and bright, although in that mode it does appear that the refresh rate is upped like that of newer tvs because all the movements seem slightly sped up, but you get used to it if you like that picture. In ECO mode the picture is still great. Eco mode is pretty quiet, bright cinema noticeably louder but if you have a sound system it won't bother you. That brings up the sound aspect. The 5 watt speaker on the projector is pretty weak. Turn it up too loud and it gets rattly sounding, so an external speaker set up is a must. The only audio output on this though is an auxiliary output. So you'll have to either run a long aux cord to whatever you have for a receiver, or just run all your media components directly into your receiver via hdmi/rca whatever capability you have. This is a great projector and am very pleased with it. It is definitely Better if you have a room you can Black out or dim quite a bit, but would still work ok if there was some ambient light. But for an upstairs living room, you may want to look at a 1060 which has more brightness.

    Smart Tv with your choice of screen size, because it's a projector. Great HD quality, small/lightweight, has an audio out port so you can connect it to your better stereo, and can have 2 screens projected at the same time....sort of (hdmi and screen mirror sources, no other combination). It's great that you can have all the lights on and still see the video clear as day. Wish the split screen had more options, and more choices on the inputs, but 1 laptop, 1 Xbox, and my phone are my sources which are displayed beautifully so it's great for the price!

    I've been wanting a projector, to play video games and watch movies with my family, for years. The quality is amazing. For less than the price of a large TV (850 for the projector), I now have a theater room in my home, with about 110 inches (horizontal) of view. It can go even bigger, but I didn't have the room. No lag during movies or games, beautiful HD. I can't recommend this enough.

    We started looking last September, found this which met all the requirements. Screen mirror, hdmi, high resolution, easy to work with. First installation was in our masonic lodge, worked great, just completed installing a second in the Dining Room. No complaints on the results from any of the viewers.

    After much research I kept coming back to this model. Not disappointed at all with my decision as our 1st Projector. Running a 100 inch screen in our movie room. The picture quality is amazing even when the shades are completely open in the middle of the day. So far watched NBA Finals, a few movies and the whole family is loving it. Payed $849.00 and a few days later went down to $699.00, too receipt to CS and they refunded me the difference. Can't wait to see what video games or backyard movie night will be like. Thinking of purchasing the same model for my Golf Simulator in the garage. The pictures I took don't do the picture quality justice. Great Job Epson!

    I use this projector for outdoor movies. The picture is great and i can start watching at dusk before sun is gone due to the brightness of the lumens. I use a seperate speaker system using the speaker out jack on back which is a plus and i do not notice any fan noise when watching a movie. I have a 70" screen and set the projector about 12 ft back from screen. Great product and happy to recommend to anyone.

    I recently bought this projector and a 96" inflatable screen and the picture this projector puts out is simply amazing. I have not completely done a full review on it so i don't know how everything works on it. I bought it, took out of box and set it up and played 2 movies and that was it. Needless to say that the picture was just awesome.

    It looks amazing! After putting this projector up and seeing how great it looks the quality it has, it had family and friends thinking different about projectors as they were all saying that projectors can't be worth buying. Now that they seen mines there all believers again lol. It's well worth the money.

    Bought this projector to replace a failed Viewsonic Projector. Sales person was very knowledgeable. Got it home and installed into my existing home theater set up. Took a little time to get the set up done but well worth the effort! Fantastic picture. Short throw range exceeded my expectation. (I now have a 103" tv at 9.5 ft!!) Picture is bright and clear even with the lights on! 3D is a nice bonus! The theater modes allow you to customize the picture brightness to your atmosphere. This projector far exceeded my expectations!
