We bought this to use in a living room without a good “tv wall.” It added a lot of flexibility to the layout and we have it on a 18” tall console table and it works well. It has a pretty good picture (even without a screen) and sound - we’re not using a separate speaker. It does really well with overhead light but not as well with sunlight coming in so having a way to cover up windows well is important.
My biggest complaint is that we have to unplug and restart it almost every day because it gets an error when we try to open different streaming apps.
We’re using it with a Roku stick so we can access Netflix but I was pleasantly surprised that we could access our apple library directly through the projector.
Overall I like it, and it’s working well for our needs.

This is a great projector. It is very bright and the image is sharp. We mounted it in our basement last week, and so far have been able to watch high definition movies from Netflix. Definitely a great buy if one has a smaller basement like mine without a tall ceiling length to use other kinds of projector.

Amazing replacement for the Epson 5040 UBE. The image is crystal clear and UHD. Love it! It's only 8" from the wall, which has a NORMAL non-ALR screen.

I really wanted to like this projector, I've had it for about 4 months now and it has not been a positive, issue free experience.
this projector is plagued with sound issues, sound cuts out or it doesn't sync with my sound bar. Even a different sound bar has the same effect. The projector sort of forces you to use the included speakers and although they are decent, I have a surround system for a better experience, however I've spent more time troubleshooting and restarting that literally makes this projector worth much less than $3500. to summarize, I have a sound bar and the sound cuts out, or switches from sound bar mode to projector only sound mode, the only fix is to restart, or to keep switching inputs until it fixes itself.
Picture quality is good if you have it with the Epson Silverscreen, However there are tons of dark scenes that displays an immense amount of noise. Grey color and grey color patterns also displays tons of noise, it doesn't matter if I'm on Apple TV, Paramount Plus, Netflix (streaming to my chromecast) or Hulu, it doesn't matter what app I have running, tons of noise is displayed during certain scenes. Terrible experience in my opinion, for $3500, this is a slap on the face.
This is the one that hurts me the most, Game input (HDMI 3) is the worse idea they could have come up with, separating the inputs to have a specific input for gaming creates tons of issues. When I turn on my PS5, the projector turns on automatically, and switches to the HDMI 3 (Game input), however, the sound doesn't work right away, my sound bar doesn't work with this input either. I have to back out to the Home menu, press the volume up to "wake up" the volume and then switch back to the game input, extremely annoying and a terrible user interface. The picture quality also drops tremendously during game mode and you have to have a dedicated picture setting that would reduce the noise and display the right quality, however, your picture settings DO NOT work when you are using the HDMI 3 (Game Input) , you have to once again, go back to the home menu, by pressing the home button on the remote, change your picture settings then go back to the HDMI 3, I'm a hardcore gamer, I bought this for the gaming usability and low latency while playing, but to be honest, I'm thinking about returning this projector just for the terrible usability while gaming, extremely difficult to navigate and troubleshoot. the issues are constant, everyday I'm switching picture settings, so I can get the right picture for gaming or watching movies, everyday im restarting and muting the soundbar back and forth so I can finally get the sound synced, everyday I'm seeing large amounts of noise with grey colors. everyday I'm going from the game input to the home menu and back, just so I can change picture settings
Really, do yourself a favor and spend a bit more and go for an LG or samsung or take a gamble with a different brand.
I've already contacted Epson about all these issues, their response? just switch input modes so you can manipulate the sound and the picture settings, they basically told me this is how it was design. Very poor response from them and very poor user experience. You have been warned.

Easy setup, picture quality is exceptional in 4K. The Android TV function is lacking compared to the quality of the projector. Very cumbersome and not user friendly. Needs to have the ability to download apps from the play store other than the useless apps that are available.

I bought this as a replacement for my Optoma hd29 darbee overhead projector. That projector was getting loud and I was sick of the picture being washed out in daylight. I bought this projector along with an ALR screen($1,600 if I remember right) from Amazon and I can't believe the results. It is like I have a 123" 4k TV! The only downside is the UI lacks Netflix for some reason. I just plugged my Roku into it and it's fine, I guess. Overall it has been a great product.

Half baked solution and epson should be ashamed

This product deserves 2.5 stars reduced from 4 stars simply because the company decided to use shortcut and use half baked Google TV with no Netflix integration.
Why can't epson not have its own custom UI so Google doesn't block installing of Netflix app and casting Netflix stream without additional chrome cast. Whatever approach you use without Chrome cast only displays overlay content from Netflix and plays audio. Google TV is suppressing the video stream.
SHAME ON EPSON for implementing incomplete solution and taking shortcut with such an expensive equipment.
This requires additional Chrome cast to play Netflix. Surprisingly all the other apps are available in Google TV for streaming except Netflix
