This projector isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely not great. Honestly, I’m disappointed because no matter what I tweak, the image quality doesn’t come close to my old 15-year-old 720p projector that passed away (RIP, buddy
). The reviews made it sound like the image quality would be amazing, but I feel let down. The picture is just kind of... blah. It’s dark unless you switch to one of the noisy modes like “Bright Cinema” or “Dynamic”—then the image is still underwhelming, but at least it’s loud. Maybe it’s because I got a refurbished one, but either way, I’m sending it back with a heavy heart.On the other hand, I’ve had great experiences with my second Epson projector, which I use in our Astronomical Observatory for lecture presentations (both classes and public sessions). This one is fantastic for the dark environment, where I can control the brightness to avoid overwhelming people’s eyes. It has excellent distortion correction, making the final image sharp, flat, and perfectly proportioned on my screen. It projects a wider image than before, and it’s quieter and smaller too. The downside? The image is so much better than the presentations I’ve been using that now I need to redo them to take full advantage of the new projector’s capabilities! But hey, that’s a good problem to have—my work is going to look a lot better because of it.

I upgraded to this projector after my cheap one turned into a literal fire hazard, with the glass burned out from the inside. But wow, this new projector is a beast. It’s ridiculously bright—like, you could probably use it to signal airplanes bright. Even in daylight with the lights on, the image is crystal clear. And let me tell you, the UI is so smooth, it's like it has its own flow—no lag, no waiting around. Even the sound is solid, better than expected.
But here’s the thing... it gets hot. I’m using it in my room, and the vents pump out heat like it’s trying to roast marshmallows. It's not unbearable, but the room does warm up a bit. If you’re sensitive to heat, that’s something to keep in mind.
Now, here’s the big downside: when you first turn it on, it literally demands permission to listen in on your conversations. Like, who gave this thing the idea that it should be a spy? There was no warning about this before I bought it, so that’s pretty shady, Epson. I don’t know about you, but I’m not about to have my projector eavesdropping. I found a workaround: just push the button next to the power button, and boom—back to normal projector life. Run it via HDMI from your computer or whatever device, and you’ll be fine. It still connects to Wi-Fi in the background, so don’t trust that it’s not listening.

The first time I set it up, I noticed something—just a tiny bit of fuzz on the bottom-right corner. I thought, “Alright, is this going to be the tragic flaw of this beast?” But no. After a 4-hour test run, the second day I couldn’t even spot the once-softer section. Like magic, it had disappeared. Was it “burn-in”? Who knows. All I know is that the issue poofed away, leaving behind nothing but a jaw-dropping, buttery-smooth 4K picture with contrast that made me feel like I was looking into another dimension. The auto iris? Chef’s kiss. Blacks so deep, they could hold a grudge.
I went on a full-blown test marathon, Xbox One X games and all, and let me tell you, I was lost in the detail. This projector isn’t just good—it’s an experience. Currently rocking a 100” matte white screen at 11 feet in my light-controlled cave, I cranked the zoom to the max just to get a glimpse of some pixel blur, but nope. Crisp and clear. Like, 100” of pure LED 4K goodness that somehow weighs less than my grocery bill and fits in a backpack. Let me tell you, this is next-gen entertainment, and you don’t need to hire movers for it.

I unboxed it, plugged in the power and HDMI from my Roku box via the receiver, hit the power button—and boom, I was instantly immersed in jaw-dropping detail and brightness. Focus? Zoom? Easy peasy, just a couple of quick tweaks. This thing’s got some serious fine-tuning potential, but let’s be real: I’m more about "turn it on, kick back, and get lost" than obsessing over every setting.
In just two weeks, my home theater went from a "sometimes" movie night spot to the place we flock to for TV time. It looks just as stunning as our 65-inch Samsung, and that’s saying something. If this thing holds up even half as long as my old Mitsubishi, I’ll be over the moon.
For the first time, I’m actually hunting down 4K content. Seriously, you’ve got to check out Planet Earth in 4K—it’s a whole new world. And yeah, this was a big splurge for me, but man, it’s worth every penny.

This thing is an absolute beast. Weighing in at 24 pounds and stretching out 20 inches wide, it’s basically the linebacker of projectors. If you’re planning to mount it on the ceiling, get a pro to handle it unless you’re part of the Hulk squad. Me? I grabbed a tall, thin metal table and let this monster sit pretty. Honestly, the size and weight make me feel like it’s built to survive the apocalypse.
Installation? A breeze, thanks to the Quick Setup guide. Just make sure your gear is all 4K-compatible, and you’re good to go. The picture quality? Stunning. Vivid colors, sharp detail, and blacks that, while not perfect, are still a massive leap up from 1080p. I’m confident a little menu tweaking will smooth those out, though.
Comparing it to my old 1080p projector is like putting a skyscraper next to a treehouse. It’s quieter, too—like, you can barely hear it. It seriously elevates your content to 4K, and I’m already in love with how Blu-rays look. The clarity? You can almost see the pores on the actors' skin. It’s that sharp.
