In my point of view, the brightness is important, I dont consider not being able to watch it during the day as an option, and the EPSON delivers. Although manufacturers lumen numbers are never real, this one will put out a VERY BRIGHT picture even in my living room which is VERY bright during the day with 2 full walls 100% glass.
This unit when working is not a bad unit. However, I have received this Auto Iris error 2 times in less than 2 months. There is no fix that an individual can apply; it requires being sent back to the manufacturer. This process is cumbersome as they want to charge you for a brand new unit, and then will refund you once they receive the old unit back. Or you can send your defective unit back and they will over-night another unit to you. Second option doesn’t sound bad, right? Well, it takes 3 weeks for them to turnaround and ship your unit back. If this defection only occurred once, I would give it 4 stars, but twice in less than 2 months not so much.
I have a large oak shelf that holds the projector and several other pieces of gear mounted about 8 feet high in a cathedral ceiling area. It points to a 8 foot screen about 14 feet away. The top of the screen is also about 8 feet high. I also bought a ceiling mount, as I was expecting the need to mount the projector upside down as was necessary with my previous 2 year old home theater projector. With this unit I just set it on the shelf right side up and shifted the image into perfect position in a few seconds. Zoom, focus and image position were a snap to set.
On the negative side, this thing is so big it didn’t work with my current mount so I had to temporarily set it on a table for testing. Fortunately, there is an OmniView glass projector shelf that is also touted to be quite big — it’s a perfect fit for this projector. Some of the thickness is required due to the lens shift capability. If the size is due to trying to cut down the sound, it was well worth the sacrifice.
I paid less than $ 1100 for this projector about what you would expect to pay for a 50″ flat panel but paired with a high quality screen and I’ve got what looks like a 120″ flat panel. I couldn’t be happier with the picture quality and for the price it’s amazing

the picture quality is the same high level. I could not see a bigger picture due to limitations of my hall.
The picture looks excellent. HDTV from the cable box was very vibrant and had good contrast. Even a 480p DVD looked very good projected at 110″. There is an auto aspect ratio mode that in my one experiment was able to appropriately set the right mode when I switched from an HD channel to a standard def channel.
It give good resolutions for the price
the horizonal lens shift is not working. the picture is not moving horizontally but it is moving diagonally up or down instead of moving horizontally left ot right. this is bad.
I’ll start by saying this is my first projector, so my wow factor may be a little more pronounced than some of the pj veterans out there. Also, I was coming from a Dell 37 inch LCD from 2005, which was definitely showing its age in picture quality and black levels, so the bar was already set fairly low from the get go. I will go ahead and agree with most of the other reviews out there that out of the box this projector looks pretty fantastic. I set up the pj with a throw distance of 18.5 from the back of the room on a high shelf (equivalent of the high of a ceiling mount). I chose this spot as it was the most convenient. Living in Hawaii, our house has many windows, and my living room is no exception, so obviously day time viewing was a concern, especially with my chosen throw distance. I will admit that watching the projector with all windows open in the middle of the day is not ideal and will make a darker movie tough to watch. However, the image is still entirely viewable once the shades are drawn and still looks quite good. This will only get better once I finish constructing a home made screen with black out cloth and grey paint (currently projecting onto bumpy dry wall). With that said once night falls (which is when we do the majority of our TV watching), the picture is fantastic. I did very few adjustments to the picture quality and things look great. I am projecting a 100′ image and I will say that I am consistently impressed with the picture, especially when compared the the LED LCD tv I was considering instead (a 47″ vizio at costco). For anyone concerned about installing one of these in an ambient light room like I was, you should know that with proper placement and some decent window shades, this can most certainly be a living room TV replacement, assuming you have the space for a giant screen

on, it covered my whole wall (not even a screen) with stunning imagery, in amazing detailed resolution with brilliant colors. Looking forward to get a screen for the future, but it’s not really needed with the bright projection
Is it possible to plug my jvc portable camcorder to a projector or monitor and show what is being recorded at the time. Sorry if it doesn’t make sense, but this is for an art installation. Just imagine a camcorder on a trip pod and a projection on the wall of what the camera sees at the time. So, if someone was walking into a room and stand infront of the camera, they will see them selves. How would i do this, what equipment do i need?

You may need to research how you plan to have the camcorder running continuously and not shutting down or hibernating.
Be sure you “rehearse” this art installation well in advance of the actual exhibit… This includes exactly replicating the amount of time the camera needs to be on and displaying on the monitor/projector… not just plugging it in and seeing if it connects and displays…
