    So we bought this for outside movie nights and it has delivered 100%. We use a 120 inch screen. The picture is very bright which is great for when the sun isn’t quite down all the way or backyard lights are also running. I can’t say much about the sound as we use a Bluetooth sound bar for audio. The kids love it so much I have been setting it up indoors on the weekends for family movie nights too. The picture quality is great. Another major plus of this unit is the built in android tv. We have it linked up to all our streaming apps so there are no other AV devices to hook up. I’ve been using it now for a few months so as long as the unit holds up I will be extremely satisfied.

    I had another epson projector before this and unfortunately the HDMI port started failing. I was going to try a DLP projector by BenQ or Optoma but wasn’t sure how I would do with the color wheels. Decided to take a chance on another Epson. The picture is amazing, VERY detailed and bright. I have a fairly light controlled room and a decent screen (1.1 gain pure white). The colors are very vivid and seem color accurate. There is only 1 HDMI port on this (vs my other projector which had 2 - and yes both failed). It does have built-in speakers which could work in a pinch but not enough for home theatre listening. Setup was easy, it does come with 2 remotes (1 for pure projector function and another for the android TV). I did a front ceiling mount which wasn’t fun because I mounted it first and then did setup upside down and backwards (so set it up on a table first before mounting). It wanted WiFi passwords, Google accounts, etc. All in all, I got this on prime day during a great sale so I paid 1/2 what I did for my previous projector and it’s honestly better. Great value for the money.

    So first things first. We ordered the refurbished one. The first one sent to us had the Android TV adapter and remote in a locked situation and did not communicate with each other. We could get to the projector;s menu and select options but it was stuck at the Welcome screen and could not select a language and setup the WiFi, etc. We looked everywhere with every type of keywords for a fix. No steps, no videos anywhere. We called Amazon tech support which had no idea what was going on so they sent a second unit thinking this unit was bad. The second one was also refurbished. When we tried it, it had the same issue, so at this point we thought this was an US issue and not the unit. Amazon tech support again had no idea how to help us. We had them call up EPSON technicians and they put us through to someone who was on-call at home. The guy was very helpful and actually figure it out. There are two remotes. One for the projector and a second one for the Android adapter. You dont need the second remote unless you are going to connect the Android adapter to non-smart TV or an amplifier (as weve seen in videos) otherwise, the projectors remote is all you need. So the way to make the projectors remote to communicate with the Android TV adapter is to: 1. Press and hold the BACK button and the RIGHT selector (wheel) for 30 seconds. 2. Turn OFF the projector. 3. UNPLUG the power cord from the projector and wait another 30 seconds. 4. Plug the power cord IN. 5. Turn the unit ON. 6. Wait for the WELCOME screen again. You should be able to select options on the Welcome screen now. Hope this helps out.

    I ordered 4 projectors and ran them side by side on the same movie scene. This was the best. Inching away some close competitors and blowing away the cheaper options. But that’s not the best part. The best part of this projector as an entertainment theater for the family and neighbors, is the simplicity of set up! No computer, no fire stick, no HDMI, and the speaker was the best of the options I tested so if you are in a small area, no speakers needed. Just plug it in. That’s it. Then you have DisneyPlus, Prime, Netflix all right there with your first time set-up WiFi connection. BaddaBing. Gone are the days where my son and I would set up for 10 minutes with wires and electric bars. Now it’s plug it in the wall and grab the included remote. I do plug in a JBL Charge speaker that works excellent. This is the big dog, enjoy!

    The picture is great. Comparing other projectors I tried (under 1000 dollar & 1080p), Espon 2200 &2250 has best color performance ( including brightness and color recovery). However, the fan noise is rather loud than I expected so as the heat. It should be pretty normal considering it has 3000 lumen. It is detectable if seating near about 5 feet while it’s working. Sure you can use Eco mode. The brightness and noise will both decrease. But it will make some wired electrical noise during Eco mode, it happens both on 2200 and 2250. If you have your own house and love to built a home cinema(hang the projector on the top). Then you may consider this as your projector. But it’s not very friendly for someone who just want to use it in a small apartment or rented home.

    Excellent picture quality and features. Using a 24 ft HDMI cable on a switching device with TV. I heard someone in a review speculating on projector having issues on long HDMI cables but you can put that to rest. Could have been a compatibility issue for him . I have been enjoying the projector since I bought it months ago and very happy.

    Pros: (1) Picture quality is really good. In-built android tv is handy and shows really good picture quality. For example, watching the same content via Roku didn’t look that good. (2) Remote for this projector is nice, modern, and with voice control as opposed to some of the other dated-styles remotes on other protectors. (3) Sound quality is reasonable and is ready-to-use for some basic use. However, (1) I was a little disappointed with the number of ports availability. All other epson projectors have 2 HDMI ports whereas this one has only 1 available to us because Epson used the other one to attach Android TV stick. (2) Throw ratio is pretty high. Meaning, to get the same size image with this projector, we have to put this very far away as opposed to other projectors like Epson 1060. (3) I wish the projector had better audio output options that it could send uncompressed audio signal to AV receiver to hear it with home theater system. Otherwise, there is no point in using the in-built android tv stick as sound quality will be sub-par.

    I bought this, used it for a couple months, then had to leave home for 7 weeks. When I came back I was newly impressed by the picture quality. Definitely happy about this purchase.

    ###Update after a few weeks with the projector: -- I ended up returning it for the following reasons: 1) **The bluetooth connection is unusable.** There are two options for outputting bluetooth audio -- one is to connect an external speaker via Epsons own overlay menu, and two, to connect via the android OS that powers the stick included with the projector. Both options result in consistent, considerable lag, regardless of the app being used, regardless of the speaker being used for output. Unusable bluetooth means that either you are happy to live with the built-in speaker (if you can hear it behind the fan, which is loud), or you have to connect an external audio jack to your speakers, or you have to use an external Roku/Fire stick or Apple TV. The problem is that all those options defeat the point of having a smart projector. You have to remove the (rather pretty) back cover and youre left with cables/sticks poking out -- which is not great if you want to have the projector itself be permanently installed somewhere where it is visibile. For us, the difference between this projector and one of the tried-and-trusted 1080p offerings from BenQ was the fact that with this one we would be a single cable, neat set-up, or so we thought. Which leads me to issue #2... 2) Broadly speaking **the Android TV stick built-in sucks and its a limitation of this projector**. I detest android at the best of times. But I think that even apologists for Google will find it hard to applaud the particular stick that comes with this projector. The App Store selection is poor. Most apps regularly malfunction. And the stick (assuming its the sticks fault) cannot even handle a bluetooth connection properly. If Epson cannot invest in its own smart platform, which I understand, they would have done better by partnering with an accomplished stick manufacturer -- like Roku. But I guess Android was the cheaper option. And you get what you pay for. Epsons OWN GOAL here is that the belly of the projector can only accommodate the Android Stick it comes with. They would literally have had a more successful product if they shipped it with a hole to fill with your own (Fire or Roku) smart stick -- provided, of course, the compartment was large enough for those alternatives. 3) **Loudness**. This thing is loud. Yes, it gets better with the Cinema setting. But there is no disguising that it is loud. And frankly, the bright setting is very much necessary unless you are able to create 100% darkness. I would have been able to live with the sub-par Android platform and the loud fan if issue #1 had not been such a deal-breaker. Sadly, my search for an *actually smart* projector goes on. All I want is a projector that, without additional cables, can reliably access the apps of major movie & TV vendors (including Apple TV) and output the audio via Bluetooth or Airplay in synchronized fashion. You would have thought this wouldnt be so hard, in 2020, especially given that Im happy to cough up a thousand bucks for it. Alas, I am yet to see any company manage that. Original review below -- note that I had clearly spoken too soon about the bluetooth connectivity. ---- This is a first impressions review - I may update it after I have more weeks of use. The 2250 is a good projector. I recommend it. Image quality is generally on a par with the BenQ HT2150A (though the BenQ perhaps wins in on the deep blacks). However, the Epson 2250 is rather special in 3 ways: 1) is has a useful throw ratio with lots of zoom and vertical lens shift. I find that the BenQ projectors always want to get onto the couch with you. This one instead wants to sit behind your head. It’s not as convenient as a short throw if you plan to move it daily. But for a semi-permanent installation, like mine, it is great. The lens shift is super useful, too. 2) it is compact. In fact, it fits inside the IKEA Kallax cube with enough room for ventilation. 3) it has USABLE smarts. It comes with a built in Android TV stick. Sadly you cannot replace the stick with a Roku, because the space is tight and tailored for that specific stick. Android TV is not great but it’s ok. Of course, using Google is a privacy concern and should be avoided where possible, but at least, unlike some other supposedly smart projectors on the “Aptoide” platform, this one actually works (mostly) and plenty of English-language apps are available. There is no AppleTV+ app, or at least not yet. Other apps freeze not infrequently. But Sling, Netflix, Prime, all work, the WiFi works reliably and Bluetooth seems ok too. All in all, this allows you to achieve what could be called “portable”, one-cable functionality. Just plug it into the power cord and you’re good to go. I am giving it 4 starts instead of 5 because of a few annoyances: 1) the reliance on the android tv stick. Making the slot large enough for a Roku or Fire stick would have been much better. We don’t all want to gift our personal information to google to sell for profit. 2) it’s relatively noisy. Out of the box it comes in “bright” mode, which sends the fan to overdrive. But even on “cinema” mode, the fan is vigorous and you can hear a whiz sound as well as chirping. 3) looks. While it is compact, it is not as sleek as the “E” series like the EF11 for example. In sum: a great 1080p projector that is actually smart enough to work on its own without external sticks and boxes, connects to WiFi and Bluetooth and that is small enough not to offend in your living room.

    If I could run this thing in non-eco mode and still be able to hear a movie, this would be the best A/V purchase Ive made. But good Lord is that fan loud. It sounds like a hair dryer. Fortunately, at night eco mode is plenty bright. The only other complaint is that the HDMI port broke the first time someone tried to plug something in, so the only way to use an external source is to unplug the internal Google TV dongle and use that HDMI. Very inconvenient. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars
