    Hello this projector is worth every dollar spent. I've had this projector for over a year and I've spent about 400 hours plus watching movies and gaming. (xbox one) The quality of the video is perfect 1080p on Netflix and gaming is amazing. The minimum size of my screen is 10' in my living room. I've also had it in my garage blasted to 150" with no problem. My 60" samsung LED flatscreen tv "HAS NOT" ben used since i purchased this projector.

    I had used an old projector as a loaner from time to time and I always had a fun time with it. Getting this HD 1080p projector has been a huge upgrade! The picture quality is great. It doesn't need much distance to throw a big picture as well. The fact that is has a built in speaker is handy but it has a 3.5mm audio out that I can put to a portable speaker and get better quality sound out of. Overall I have been very happy with this purchase!

    This was a big step up from Epson 710 projector I had previously, this one was much brighter & crystal clear... I tried 2 other Epson projectors that were higher end projectors as well, and I didn't much of difference in the the picture, Nothing worth the $400-600 more.. If your not sure what to look at when comparing projectors beside the price, its the contrast ratio... the high it is the better...

    I bought this on sale at an excellent price. The picture is bright and sharp. In the end I returned it because of two low points. I had previously had an Epson 3010 projector that I loved. But this Home Cinema 2045 was way cheaper. Sadly the black levels always looked gray and the fan noise in bright mode was too loud. Everything else was very nice and amazing for the price.

    Projector has a very bright display with great resolution and sharp colors. Fan is very quiet. A big plus is the tablet mirroring. It's a great low cost media room projector.

    Good product overall, no concern with image quality or anything. 3 things I wish was better: the fan is a bit loud, so I recommend to put it as far as possible from where you'll sit. Also the zoom don't allow to put the projector too far back: I guess it's perfect if you put it on a table in front of the screen or on the ceiling. But i needed it back up on the wall behind my sofa and really struggled as the image was too big for my screen and the zoom has very limited range. Lastly, i wish it just didn't have built in speakers, which are just inapropriately sized for home cinema anyway, but also the sound tend to randomly go to these built in speakers by default instead of the external sound system..

    Awesome picture even with some light in room. Easy to install. The 3D feature for movies is so cool. My movie collection keeps growing. Playing Xbox anything is out of this world. It makes my 60" 1080p look like a 27". I will never buy a regular TV again.

    I watched movies on an inflatable screen with this baby, picture quality was phenomenal, I hooked it up to my studio speakers and got excellent surround sound outside. It’s an awesome addition to watching a larger screen inside. Projector adjusts the image for a perfect angle. I use te wireless function and it worked perfectly. I did a slideshow and it was perfect.

    I love it. It has set many expectations. I am able to use it for my kids and the inbuilt speakers could be enough for a medium size room. The projector has two hdmi Ports and one usb. I could connect the fire tv into this. I was able to watch DVDs through 1080p up convertor player but the movies were very bright and clear. I haven't tried this in day time. I shall do that in near future.

    It is my TV replacement. Image is sharp. colors and brightness are really good. epson lamp cost is less and its warranty is two years instead of one HDMI with MHL enable, so able to connect my chromecast. Supports RCA (composite) so was able to connect my old Wii. Was able to screen mirror my photos from my samsung s6 using miracast. BestBuy delivery was fast,it got delivered in 3 days.

    Well I've had it for about 3 months now and so far it's really awesome. I use it daily as a tv/computer monitor. Gaming is really awesome on this thing. Only complaints I have are that it seems to stutter a little, almost like a glitch with certain video. It seems to be more prevalent with chromecast or when streaming so maybe it's just those devices. Using Blu-ray I haven't ever had this issue. I'm currently projecting on a light brown wall and it is plenty bright in a room with no windows on eco mode. Last complaint I have with it is that the blacks are not real sharp. Like in really dark scenes it's kind of hard to differentiate between the borders of things. I am hoping this is a result of using the light brown wall instead of a dedicated screen. I am hoping to get a screen soon so I will try and revise this review once I have it.

    If you want a good quality projector, this one is it. The picture is extremely clear even on my wall that is a matte finish. I was hesitant to buy it because of the cost, but found out it came with a $200 GIFT CARD...so I could not refuse. I am so glad I bought this. I have used it outside during the day and have no problem with glare or picture. This is worth every penny.
