Customer Ratings & Reviews

This review is on a Epson - Lifestudio Pop Plus 4K PRO-UHD Portable Lifestyle Smart Projector with Sound by Bose Technology, 3LCD, HDR, Wireless - Navy. We are finally getting into better projectors for a better price. This projector is amazing for what you get at the price. It looks great and sounds great with the Bose speakers. You can really enjoy watching a movie with just the Bose speakers. It is small and light for easy carry. The lens is protected behind glass. It is only 700 lumens and is best viewed in a dark room but it is not far from my higher end Epson projector at over 2300 lumens. The picture is great with HDR. You can connect Xbox and get 4K but it doesn't support 120Hz. It has a game mode though and I feel that with game mode turned on it is very close to having 120Hz. Setup is extremely easy with Google if you already have an account. All you do is scan a code with your phone and it gets all your Wi-fi info (even password) to start downloading apps to watch TV which took about 10 minutes. This is the best part. You can set this projector almost anywhere and it will auto correct the image to fit your screen. You can angle your projector up if you need to from the ground but if it is about 6ft off the ground, then you have to angle the projector down or it will make the picture too high. If you want the picture bigger or smaller you have to move it forward or backwards. There is no zoom function. It can be ceiling mounted if you wish. It will connect to the new Epson Projection Studio app which allows you to control it with your phone and share photos and videos with other people. A lot of higher end projectors in the past don't come with this much tech in such a small box. You are really getting a great deal with this projector.

This is a very nice, solid projector. It weighs about 3.5 lbs & is a nice navy color. Runs quiet & I like that no lens cap is needed, it’s behind glass. The picture auto adjusts & straightens out, I haven’t figured out how to project to full size yet, my picture is about the size of a 65” tv. There are so many features & settings that I have a lot to learn. I tried downloading the app on my iPad & it wasn’t compatible so I had to do it on my phone. The QR code was hard to scan. I must’ve done it at least 20 times because it wasn’t recognized, I had to go into manual setup & download an update. The auto adjust feature is very sensitive & will stop playing if it detects any object, even if there’s no object. I tried using my movies anywhere app & I can’t play anything from that, I keep getting error code. Thankfully I have most of the same movies in Prime video & Apple TV. I am able to play all of them through the apps. I can mirror my iPad screen & scroll & search. When I finally got signed in through Google, the projector mirrored my Hisense tv screen with all the apps I have, I just needed to sign in again. The movies look great , clear picture, settings can changed to standard, cinema, vivid & natural. I used the first two. The sound is great & also has changeable settings for standard, cinema, dialogue & music, again I just used the first two. The only problem was I had to turn to volume up to 60 to hear anything. There are a lot of setting from picture to brightness to sound that you can adjust. There is a headphone jack on back & photos can also be watched. The remote is similar to our tv remote with push to talk, controls, & YouTube, Netflix, Prime & Free tv buttons for quick search. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t use the USB port with my flash drive to project my Halloween decorations, it wouldn’t do anything, no setting to change it either. When reading the manual online, it says not all USB devices are compatible. The iPad issue with movies anywhere is that my Apple adapter for lightning to HDMI apparently has error & compatibility or copyright issues with all projectors not just this one, it does it on my cheap projector also. The auto shape notice is also annoying on this projector because it keeps stopping the movie often and the plug doesn’t seem to fit too well and keeps coming apart, so my projector never turns on. This has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but it would really be great if it could be rechargeable and you didn’t need the plug. Besides the few things mentioned above, it’s a very nice projector.

I had to return it as a defective item. Until then it worked very well.

So I grabbed the Epson Pop Plus 4K projector a few weeks ago and wow I did NOT think it was gonna be this nice. Like, I’ve had cheaper projectors before and they always looked kinda washed out or had terrible sound, but this one legit feels like a mini theater setup. The picture quality is crazy clean, super sharp, bright colors, and it actually looks good even with a bit of light in the room. I’ve been watching Netflix and Disney+ on it almost every night and it’s made my boring wall look like a 100” TV lol. The 4K PRO-UHD stuff Epson talks about actually makes a difference, I can tell. And that sound by Bose? Yeah it’s real. Way louder and clearer than I expected. Dialog sounds crisp and it even has a bit of bass which shocked me. I haven’t even bothered hooking up my Bluetooth speaker cause it already fills my living room fine. Setup was stupid easy. Plug it in, it autofocuses and fixes the screen on its own, no menu diving or manual lens twisting. It runs Google TV, so I didn’t have to plug in my Roku or Fire Stick or anything, all the apps are just there. Plus it connects to WiFi and Bluetooth in seconds. I’ve even used it for PS5 gaming and it handles it like a champ. Low input lag, smooth visuals, and it feels awesome playing on a huge screen. I’ve also used it outdoors a couple times for movie nights with friends and everyone was super impressed. Overall I’m honestly obsessed. Super portable, crazy picture, amazing sound, and just makes everything feel high end. If you’re thinking about it just get it. I’ve had zero regrets.

I've had a couple projectors over the past few years and I find these to be a great alternative to large screen TVs. While I still have and use big TVs, these projectors have find a nice use case in my house. As far as the projector goes, the quality is great. For something that comes in such a small package, this really has some great picture quality. The size of this projector is worth noting as it's about the size book. It's not very big and doesn't weigh a lot so this is very much portable if need be. As such it can be mounted as well for that clean look in your home theater system. It's wireless too so no need to clutter your space with added cables if not needed. You are able to stream using the remote and the Netflix., GoogleTV, YouTube apps. Whether it's something you want to stream or present, this little thing can do it all. That said, on top of all these features, you get really solid 4k quality. With some projectors, I've run into issue where the field of view is a bit off causing your display to get askew. No such issues with this one. Regardless of the position, the projector casts a clear, bright picture is hi def.

The Epson Lifestudio Pop Plus 4K PRO-UHD Portable Lifestyle Smart Projector is nice projector that comes with Sound by Bose Technology, 3LCD, HDR, and Wireless features. The projector comes well packaged with a quick start guide, power cable, remote and batteries for the remote. The projector has support for an HDMI connection, but it does not come with an HDMI cable. After plugging in the projector, the power button is on the rear of the unit on the left side. It took a while before I could use it right away because it required a software update. After the update I used the remote to complete the setup process. I had no luck getting it to connect to my WiFi network. I was trying to connect it to my Eero system but it kept failing. I had to connect it to my Orbi system, then it worked. After I finally got everything setup, I went back into the settings using the remote and tried connecting to my Eero system, and it worked this time around. Unlike most projectors that require you to manually fine tune the clarity of the display, this one does it automatically. It has an Obstacle Avoidance feature, which stops the video display if it detects something in front of the light projection. It comes with Google TV installed, which allowed me to connect many of my streaming services to it. It comes with a Bose sound system inside. The speakers were OK. I was expecting more Bass and a louder sound. They sound decent, but not all that great. The size of the unit is quite portable. It’s about the size of an Apple Mac Mini. The HDMI connection works well. When I connected the HDMI cable to it from my computer, it prompted me to mirror my display or use it as a secondary display. Overall, I’m intrigued as what this unit has to offer.
