> 3 dayI bought this during quarantine because I missed going to the movie theater and it was the best decision Ive ever made! The picture quality and brightness are amazing. I have an older projector of similar lumens and its completely drowned out by a single light. This thing I can use with multiple lights on (Hue lights in a warm setting at around 40-50% brightness) and it still looks incredible. This more has to do with the contrast ration, I assume, because this projector has super dark blacks and bright vivid color. The sound was okay, but unusable at lower volumes because of the loudness of the fan. I dont find the fan particularly loud or distracting, it sounds like any other projector. It can definitely heat up a small room, but its a lot less hot than some other projectors Ive had. I opted to up my experience by getting Bose soundbar and luckily, instead of having to deal with hiding cords, this thing works great with Bluetooth. I have little to no latency issues. The latency issue is almost always on Netflix and I havent had too much trouble with any other streaming service. Its fixed pretty easily by just pausing, rewinding a second or two and then pressing play. The Android TV is awesome, but configuring your home screen is a little less awesome. Its a bit complicated and clunky to download each streaming service and upon start up, it takes about 15-20 seconds to recognize that Im pressing buttons on the remote to get to my streaming service of choice. I had a ton of issues with Wifi connection that plagued me for the first month and still comes up sometimes. It just wont connect to my Wifi. I have a Velop mesh network, any and every other product Ive had has never had connection issues. It says there was an error connecting, but I have super fast Wifi and I have a Velop in the same room as the projector. I have to try again and again for 10 minutes, sometimes it connects, other times I have to turn it off, wait for it turn back on, then deal with it not connecting another 1-3 times. I havent had that issue as of late, but it happens every now and then. Also, dont even bother downloading the Hulu app, it wont work. It has a crazy amount of lag and nothing can fix it. The only way I can watch Hulu is through casting it from my phone. The Chromecast function works great and I love it. I dont know how to put into words how much of a godsend the zoom feature is. It is the best thing ever. TLDR: This is probably the best bang for your buck on lower budget home cinema projectors. (I say lower budget because this thing is still incredible expensive, but it is so worth it if you cant afford one of those $6000 cinema projectors). Get your own sound system, the built-in speakers are okay and unusable at low volume. The features are kickass but as with all technology, there are some flaws, like Wifi connectivity issues, occasional latency issues, slow start-up, and the Hulu app being unusable, but it more for makes up for it with the amount of features it has and the quality of the picture. The zoom feature is the best thing ever.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 daySo 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.

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 daySo 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.

Greater than one weekThis is an excellent projector, though its a full HD projector its on par with my Sony 4k UHD TV. Images are very bright and contrast is amazing. I have connected this to my AV receiver so not sure on Bluetooth issues others reported in their reviews. I like the Andriod TV in built in the projector and used Aux cable for sound output for this functionality. Other HDMI port can be used to connect to receiver and from there to any other devices such as disc player or gaming console. Right now using this port to connect my PS4 Pro and have zero issues so far. Projector remote is Bluetooth enabled, so you dont need to point to projector. My throw distance is around 15 feet and getting 120inch of screen. Optical zoom can also be used to increase the size a bit more. Could have back lit on remote for better visibility of buttons in dark room, may be Epson is confident enough on their bright projector and hope that screen light is more than enough to see the buttons!!

> 3 dayAmazing picture quality and features at this price!! We use this in our living room as a tv replacement. Very bright picture despite lots of ambient light. 120 inch diagonal screen with projector ceiling mounted 14 feet back. Built in streaming, bluetooth, Frame Interpolation and Picture Enhancement. Not to mention 10 memory saves if you want to set up different modes based on light control and media your watching. I have it paired with an Elite Cinegray screen and the picture is leaps and bounds above two previous projectors we had. Tremendous color and brightness right out of the box but I tweaked a few settings to personal taste. Im still holding out on purchasing a 4K projector as the technology and prices evolve. I highly recommend this model for anyone in the same boat or on a budget. You wont be disappointed!! Movies, streaming, and games all look outstanding!!
