Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first projector and at $799 (sale price), this is on par with other smart projectors such as the BenQ TH685i. Overall, this projector makes me wish I had a 4K version instead. This is a true native 1080p projector which can process a 4K signal, it just outputs in 1080p. Also, this is a 3D capable projector with the right 3D glasses. Setup: Right out of the box, this projector was very easy to setup if you have any familiarity with setting up apps. It weighs about 8 lbs, so not that heavy. Build quality seems to be okay for being made out of primarily plastic. This projector is running Android TV version 9 and once you connect to WiFi, there is an update to install. I was able to quickly log into my apps such as YouTube, Disney+, ESPN and Hulu without issue. After dialing in the picture settings to get everything looking as best as it could, the entire process took about an hour from unboxing to initial setup. Likes: The overall footprint (size) seems to be on the smaller side compared to other projectors I have seen. Having genuine built-in Android TV is great. There are plenty of “Smart” projectors on the market with non-native versions of Android which can cause problems with Apps if those operating systems are not approved by popular Apps such as Netflix or Disney+. Epson made the right choice by going with genuine Android TV. The brightness is rated at 2700 lumens and I feel this has been bright enough for my purposes of having a projector in the bedroom. You can seem my pictures where I show the image in different lighting. Dislikes: The fan noise on eco mode is barely noticeable, but once you change the setting to bright or dynamic, it gets pretty loud. Also, this produces some heat. This might be expected from all projectors, I just didn’t know it would put out this much hot air. This projector doesn’t have ARC. Your audio choices are limited which are the mono 10 watt speaker, Bluetooth, or Auxiliary. Lastly, out of the box, this projector has a dead or stuck pixel in the far left side (see picture) and it makes some sort of grinding noises best way to describe it. This being my first projector, I have no clue what that noise could be. Oh by the way: The mono speaker in our bedroom setting is okay, but in our living room it was definitely too weak. We had to connect an external speaker to the Aux cable. The 1080p picture is noticeable, at least to me. If I had the funds or opportunity to compare a 4K projector, I feel the 4K picture would likely be more “crisp”. For my first projector, this almost met all my expectations.

Quick Pros -Easy -Long list of popular apps -Built in chromecast (if you don't want to sign in the apps) -advertised as Android projector but also easy to use with iphone -Adjustable size and focus -Very bright -Price (Not pricey compared to HD projectors and still amazing quality) Setup: I didn't even have to open the instructions. Just followed the prompts. It looks like it's more geared to Android but I had no issues connecting with my iphone. Quick setup and very easy to adjust size and focus. There is a long list of popular apps you can sign into. I've had issues with other projectors having limited options and even then not always letting you sign in easily. If you don't have time to sign in or maybe your friend has it on their phone, the Chromecast is also really quick and easy to use. Brightness: I took pictures. They don't do it justice because they're a little blurry but just want to give you an idea of how bright it is. Most projectors are good at night. The question is if you can use it with some light. This is a picture of it with a window completely open across from the wall I'm projecting on and midday. The wall is also partially painted white and some brown. The scene is also lighter. Just wanted to show even with all that, you can still easily see the picture. It's impressive how bright it is and much better when curtains are closed and after the wall was completely painted.

Epson Home Cinema 2250 is a full HD 1080p android TV home theater projector that delivers stunning picture quality. Contrast ratio on this projector is 70,000:1 with image enhancement and frame interpolation that makes the images very smooth and makes this projector bright enough for any room with ideal lighting conditions. Its very portable and light weight. What’s in the box: Epson Home Cinema 2250, 2 remotes, 4 AAA batteries, power cord, Quick Setup guide. Setup: Setup is very easy. Just removed all the plastics, connected the power cord to turn it on. Remote control is Bluetooth and has to be paired for the first time by holding the home and enter button for 5 seconds. Once remote is paired, you would need to enter your WIFI details to get connected and once done setup of android begins. If you have an android phone then you can finish the setup easily but for iPhone users all you need to do is go to google home app and discover the devices or with the browser by entering the code for quick setup. Once setup is done quickly update the latest software and it takes less than 5 minutes for update and reboot. Projector has a built in 10-watt speaker that is good for smaller rooms but would suggest to connect to home theater speakers or Bluetooth sound bar with surround sound subwoofer for immersive theater experience on big screen. I was able to quickly connect the sound bar by entering into settings mode and pairing it. Make sure you set the device in pairing mode for the projector to connect. This model comes with 2 simple to use remote (Bluetooth enabled and IR simple remote) that is the size of amazon fire tv remote and has dedicated buttons for YouTube and apps. Just with one click you can enter to YouTube and other apps which is a great feature. Since it supports android TV, it does have a dedicated button for google assistant. Remote is very easy to use and the interface is so smooth. Remote with fewer buttons is exclusively for the inbuilt android stick and wont work with this projector. If you need to remove the android stick and attach to other device then the simple remote comes in handy to control the stick. We do have Epson 5040UB home cinema projector for our media room and the remote is too complex and has too many buttons whereas this one is so compact and easy to use. This projector is one of the user-friendly models that offer lot of options for adjusting both vertical and horizontal keystone correction and vertical lens shift both at remote and at the unit. It does have leg adjustment in the front and back for easy adjustment. Front leg adjustment has a button to press and release for the height adjustment and the back one has a knob to rotate for rear height adjustment. We installed 144-inch outdoor screen and the adjustment for keystone took around 4-5 minutes and was accurate. Since this projector has android inbuilt you don’t need any extra device like apple TV or Fire TV or Roku for streaming Netflix or prime video. This one has everything and allows you to sideload any apps that you need easily. We got this projector for outdoor movie nights with kids in the backyard and this works great with less wires. It has a grey magnetic flap on the back to cover the android stick that is connected to HDMI and can be removed to access with other devices. Image quality is very good and produces a crystal-clear picture with good color composition. We don’t see any difference in image quality compared to our 5040UB which was a flagship model when purchased. Skin tones are accurate and the text are crisp for 1080p resolution. Brightness is really good with 2700 lumens of color and white that can be easily adjusted. It does have 4 color mode to choose from for your viewing experience. Dynamic, Bright Cinema, Natural and cinema. It does support 3D setup option to watch 3D movies and can display both Front, Front/Ceiling, Rear, Rear/Ceiling projection options and can be easily adjusted in settings menu. Fan gets little loud when set to dynamic mode compared to cinema mode, but its not to an extent to ruin movie watching experience and is acceptable. Overall, Epson home cinema 2250 is an excellent 1080p projector with Android TV streaming device that is compact and portable with image enhancement, Frame Interpolation, 3LCD technology that will be a great affordable(at less than 1k) projector for outdoor and indoor with ideal lighting conditions and a good reason to purchase for anyone looking for bigger screen experience.

Pros: -Android TV included -Bright, 2700 Lumens -Beautiful vivid colors, true 1080p HD picture -Vertical & Horizontal lens shifting Cons: -Separated HDMI and Home inputs do not allow for an external speaker system to control audio for Android TV streaming platforms (see more information below). Need to use the additional audio port to completely transfer all audio to external speakers. -Only one HDMI input Epson has been a leading provider of great projectors for years. With that being said, this projector is no different. Rated at 2700 lumens, it is very bright and you can watch all of your favorite streaming services via the included Android TV platform. Although this is not a 4k projector, I still found the image produced to be phenomenal. Along with the projector, 2 remotes, and a power cord were included in the box. Setup was very easy, I turned it on, adjusted the zoom and focus sliders located at the top of the projector, and followed the welcome prompts on the projector. It took only a few minutes and I immediately saw the wow factor of the projector. With the 3LCD, 70,000:1 contrast ratio and capability to play 4k content, I not only loved the picture but guests I had over also gave compliments. Colors were vibrant and blacks stood out with shadow details being noticeable. Epson states that 4k content can be accepted by the projector (although this isn't a 4k projector), but I did not see a noticeable difference when playing 4k rated video since this projector cannot output 4k content. In addition to the great picture, a 10W speaker is installed in the projector. While it isn't a complete replacement for a sound bar or audio system, sound is clear and can fill a small room at the highest volume. On the back of the projector, there is only one HDMI (HDMI 2.0) input, one audio output (3.5mm audio jack), and a micro USB B input for service. To connect multiple HDMI devices, I would recommend using an audio video receiver to manage the HDMI device connections one might use. The projector also has the capability to connect bluetooth audio to it for playback. Someone previously mentioned having issues connecting their bluetooth speakers to the projector although I had no such issues. Going into the bluetooth settings, pairing the bluetooth speakers, and selecting to turn on bluetooth audio, enabled me to use bluetooth speakers for audio. Now for some more technical specs. The included 200W UHE lamp lasts for about 4500 hours give or take on the normal setting or 7500 on the ECO setting. While in normal brightness mode, the fan noise (Epson rates at 36db) was not too audible to me while playing video games and watching movies. In Quiet mode it was less audible (Epson rated at 28db). The amount of zoom on the projector allowed goes from the standard 1.0 picture up to 1.6. I was able to see a great difference in how large the picture frame became at shorter distances because of the zoom. From tests I conducted, from about 11 feet and 11 inches from the wall to the front of the projector, an image greater than 100 inches (about 104-105 inches) was displayed while having the zoom slider at half. At full zoom, an image of 100 inches was produced from about 9ft and 9 inches. One thing that I loved in particular about the projector was the inclusion of Android TV. I am familiar with it since I have a TV (Sony 900E) with it included although on my TV it can be laggy at times. This was not the case with the projector. I was able to move through all of the menus and app tiles quickly and smoothly. Because of the inclusion of Android TV, there isn't a need for an HDMI streaming service box or dongle, Android TV has a wide offering of apps from Google that people can choose from. With Android TV, there was also the ability for me to cast what I was watching from my phone over to the projector as well. Finishing the added features section of the review, the projector also has horizontal and vertical lens shift capabilities. (Horizontal and vertical keystone correction can be made up to plus or minus 30 degrees). These definitely helped me when positioning the projector and is a nice added bonus! Because of the mishap of not being able to relay the audio from the internal Android TV streaming services, I had to dock a star. Otherwise, this projector is amazing and cannot imagine anyone would not fall in love with this projector. The greatest features being Android TV and a beautiful bright picture means you could definitely replace your home TV with this. It will definitely make a very nice upgrade!

I love my new gift! The picture quality is great, the portability is great. I like how it as apps available to access, I like the mirroring to my smart phone option and the sound is good and also how it was so easy to connect my portable bluetooth speaker to have a more enjoyable outdoor theater experience.

Easy to set up- I hung it from the ceiling with a separate purchase. Great crisp picture and I love the blue tooth capabilities.

Amazing picture quality! Easy to use. Worth spending the extra money on

This projector is great. At first i was worried about getting a 1080p projector, but this thing is sharp! Great adjustment features, and android tv works perfectly. It is nice having a fast service like android tv already on the projector. The only complaint is that I wish it had more ports. Other then that I really like it!

Bought this to enjoy movie night with my Family. The image is very clear. Did not loose any quality compared to our UHD 4K TV. At the moment we are just using the wall as a screen and are very impressed. Paired it with an LG sound bar and sub woofer and it really feels as if we are in a theater. Extremely satisfied with this product.

Let me start off by saying that I've never owned a projector before, so I was excited to finally get my hands on one and have a more movie-like experience at home. Setup is extremely easy, just find a screen, or wall, to point it at, plug it in, hit the power button, pair the remote, enter your wi-fi credentials and that's it. Literally only took a few minutes to be looking at the connected home screen. It actually does a pretty good job of automatically making some adjustments to straighten out the projection so that the sides aren't angled like a trapezoid. I still had to do a little fine-tuning but the buttons are all there to do so and easy to figure out. With very little instruction and no prior projector experience, I was easily able to make the minor adjustments needed to get the best picture. Speaking of instruction though, that's one of the small negatives I have, it doesn't hardly come with much. You get a quick-start guide that gives the basics but that's pretty much it. With the projector all setup and adjusted, I logged in to one of the apps and started watching some shows. I have to say, even without an actual white screen, the picture looked perfect and much better than I expected, and that was on my textured light grey wall. Everything was sharp and perfectly clear. I even turned all the lights on and had no issues seeing the picture. There's a slide to adjust the size of the picture in addition to physically moving the projector. I started out around 8 feet from the wall but also tried it from about 12 feet away and as close as about 5 feet away, and the picture looked good from any distance. That's actually one of my favorite things about this projector is how close you can be to the projection surface and how little wall space you need to be able to use this. That's another positive, it really can go anywhere. I've used it on my kitchen wall, bedroom wall, in my garage, and am planning on taking it out on camping trips for some outdoors movie nights! In the house is where it's best though and the reason I can move it all around is because of my favorite feature, which is the built-in wi-fi and Android TV. With the built-in speaker, you can set it up anywhere you want and the only cord you have to deal with is the power cord, which by the way has a decent length to it. About that built-in speaker, while it surprised me with how well it performed, don't expect anything spectacular. It's good enough for kids watching cartoons, but you'd definitely want to hook up to a better speaker or surround sound to watch a game or movie or when playing some video games. In addition to the audio output, this projector is bluetooth capable. I've read about issues connecting with bluetooth but didn't experience any myself. I connected to a Samsung Soundbar and they paired up right away and never disconnected. Sound came through perfectly There is one thing to be aware of and that is how much heat the bulb puts out. The fan is basically always running and is loud. Not as noticeable when you have it at a distance or mounted up high, but if you're just in a small room and have it set on a table for a small viewing area, you'll definitely notice it. Not to mention it's essentially a mini-heater. The remote control works flawlessly, and there's even 2 of them! I'm not really sure why there's 2 of them. The 2nd one is a Google/Android TV remote, but the main remote has mostly the same buttons, and there's really not anything you couldn't do or get to with the main remote. But I guess you at least have a back-up if one gets lost. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this projector, unless it offered 4K, but the full HD is more than good enough and still looks great. Just the versatility alone makes this a must-buy. Imagine being able to put your TV just about anywhere, except you only need to move a small boxy unit instead of a gigantic flat piece of fragile glass, that's what you get here.

Excellent projector. Bought it for the short throw distance and the quality. I set up a movie room in my loft and able to project a 120" image from a fairly short distance to create a great movie experience.

My sister loves it, I bought it for her. The picture is very beautiful, I like it very much and I'm satisfied

First, I was amazed how easy the set up was. The only issue that was challenging was finding the HDMI input which was hidden behind a magnetized panel on the rear. The built in google OS was easy to log into after I got the wifi working. I was able to download YouTube TV and Prime Video which are my two main services so was all happy there. I had a roku hdmi insert ready but there was simply no need. I have been extremely pleased with my decision to buy this. Not a full five stars because nothing is perfect in life.

We got this to use for our church service and it's working great! Happy with our purchase.

It's a great projector for home theater! Kids and cat love it. Have it displaying at over 100" and is very bright and clear. Connects easily to bluetooth speakers and the built in speaker is also surprisingly loud! It's easy to connect to WiFi and directly stream from Disney+, Netflix, Youtube etc, or connect with smartphone via Chromecast. If you're familiar with Android software then navigation is a breeze.

Great Picture! Kids love the 3D movies. No need to go to movies anymore

Well worth it... quality of picture is awesome even it bright room.

My very first projector. Easy and fast to set up. I love the different options you have with android tv and pairing with Bluetooth. I love the crisp sound speaker and crisp picture quality. The fan is not loud at all compared to others. Everything went smoothly. No lagging. Love how it came with two controllers. It’s not convenient but two is better then one.

This is the second Epson projector I have used in the past several years. I was looking forwarded to testing out the new features that this model has including built in bluetooth and Android TV. Pros: - Set-up for Android TV was very easy. I was able to connect through my google/gmail account without any difficulty. The process is streamlined. - Many of the most useful apps you would like to use come pre-installed and it is easy to install more. The set-up process allows you to choose which additional apps you would like to add but you can always add more later. Not having to connect a blue-ray player or streaming media player to this unit is a nice plus. - Picture quality was great. Even though it is not too close to Xmas I watched "Elf" with with family. The projected image is very bright and doesn't require a completely dark room to get a watchable image. - Having an onboard speaker is nice so you can take this on the go and have a display with audio at the ready. Cons: - I was looking forward to having a projector with bluetooth that I can use on my back patio with an outdoor movie screen. Connecting a wireless speaker was going to be a terrific solution. But when I tried this there was lag between the audio and what was taking place on the screen which made the movie unwatchable. For indoor watching I'll need to run HDMI from my source through my AV system to get better audio, but will look for other options for outdoor viewing. - For an expensive projector like this it would be nice to have a storage/carrying case come with it. There is no need for a case for folks that mount it of course, but for my use I will use it both indoors and outdoors and don't want a permanent mount. Fro now I'll just keep it in the box it arrived in. Overall, this Epson model is worth a look. One of the best selling points is the Android TV integration. Just be prepared to find a good audio solution because if you have a great quality picture, you are going to want great audio to go along with it.

Nice i ilike it..im happy with it so far..i was afraid to get this one because of the lumens but at the end it looks good i can watch movies and shows even in day time.the android package that just a plus amazing..i dont need to plug extra stuff just turn it on an enjoy..
