I don’t write many reviews but this Epson projector has changed my world. If you’ve never experienced watching tv & movies on a projector and your’e on the fence, do it. I spend hours and hours at night watching this projector wondering why I didn’t buy one sooner.Some background and thoughts — I had initially gotten excited about Ultra Short Throw projectors and even high end laser projectors. I thought maybe in a few years, I’ll get one because the price would be $3-6K with a screen. But why not have something inexpensive and fun now? This projector is a fraction of the cost of the laser projectors, you can get a good screen for about $200, connect to a streaming device like an Apple TV, and use a nice bluetooth speaker in the front of your room. All for under $1000. Yes, this uses a traditional bulb, yes it will be replaced some day but at a rate of 3 or 4 hours a night and an expected lamp life of 6000 hours, this won’t be soon.I used an inexpensive cloth screen but it’s caused the image to lose brightness and sharpness. I’ve bought a nicer screen, I’m waiting to take delivery. Don’t skimp on the screen. Even the wall had better sharpness and color than this $25 screen.Now how does this rate to an OLED? It doesn’t. An OLED has hands down better clarity, colors, contrast, and black levels. Yet, I now prefer to watch this for 99% of my evening viewing just due to the size and also the cinematic qualities of a projector and how movie like it appears. I love my OLED, but even a 120″ OLED wouldn’t have the same cinematic feel we’re all used to from real cinemas.Now what are the cons?1. Iris noise — the iris is something which mechanically changes to let more light out. It sounds like a hard disk seeking noise, click, click, click. With loud movies, you don’t heard it. I suspect if you mount the projector a bit away from you, you might not notice. I almost wanted to return the projector for this but I’ve resigned to live with it because I like the projector that much.2. You need to mount the projector at a precise distance to fill the screen. So you need some flexibility in placement. Too close, you won’t get your large picture. Too far, the image might be bigger than your screen. I think the higher end projectors might have some optical zoom capability, I don’t know I’m still learning.3. Being a front projection system, if you need to output HDMI signals to a home theater receiver in the front of the room, you’ll need to consider how to send that signal with a long HDMI cable and how to route it. The UST projectors don’t have this issue, they are already in front.In summary, you couldn’t take this projector away from me. It’s my first and probably not my last based on the sheer joy. Don’t let the low price fool you, it’s actual a good projector and Epson’s 3LCD system is unique and works very good for motion, no rainbow effect like DLP projectors.Hope that helps someone out there.Paired it with an Elite Screens 120″ screen. Don’t cheap out on the screen, I got a cheap cloth and the images were so soft and washed out.There are still times when the picture is so good, I think it’s a tv. The new version of this projector doesn’t have the mounting holes… no idea why Epson omitted this but how would you mount it???6 month update:- I still LOVE this projector. People who see it can’t believe their eyes, that it’s projection and they aren’t watching a giant 120″ tv.- If I had to do it again, I’d find a projector that had lens shift and zoom. Lens shift would let you mount the projector higher up or lower down and still have a nice square perfect image. Zoom would let you zoom in/out the picture without moving the projector.- Some of the other projectors have built in smart tv / Android, etc. You will need a streaming device to pair with this.- You can pair a bluetooth speaker to the streaming device for wireless speaker to the front of your room.- I don’t see any motion blur at all with this projector, it’s better than my LCD & OLED (with motion smoothing turned off).- Still super happy for what it is. Spend the money on an Elite Screen, $250 or $275 sounds like a lot but once you get this all setup, you won’t regret it.

I could not be happier with this projector. I bought it for backyard movie and football nights with my family. I don’t know anything about projectors but knew I wanted to (a) start movies before sunset (small kids with early-ish bedtimes), (b) stream movies and TV, and (c) easily set up and take down the projector. And of course I didn’t want to spend a gazillion dollars. This little projector hits all of my goals. It is, honestly, a bit hard to see the picture while the sun is setting, even using a screen, but it’s good enough for my family. Otherwise, the picture is really bright and clear and looks awesome. The built-in speakers are pretty good, and it was easy connecting a Bluetooth speaker for a birthday party movie night. The streaming stick is great — I love that it’s housed in the projector casing, making it easy to keep together. Set up and take down couldn’t be easier. The automatic adjusting key has worked great at various heights. I really don’t think I could have made a better choice for the money. My only complaint is that my remote control for the projector itself seems to not work right. But I assume I got a lemon, and I can control most things with the streaming stick remote, so even that really hasn’t been a problem.

The media could not be loaded. I love the fact that you can adjust the picture vertically and horizontally. You can also zoom in and out to crop the picture.The only thing you cannot do is resize the picture image with the border as well so even if you shrink the picture you will still see the black light from the original size which can be annoying for some people but I do not mind it personally.One thing that also bothers me is that even. If you connect a Bluetooth device like a sound bar,whenever you turn on the projector again, even if the device is still connected you will have to manually disconnect and reconnect the device (pretty easy to do but it’s annoying that I have to do this every time) or you will only have sound coming from the projecter itself.Other than this,the picture quality is great and the brightness is also perfect to me because I can still watch my shows and series with daylight coming through the blinds as well as the lights being on.The software that comes with the projector in order to watch your streaming shows pre enabled or also smooth and there’s no lag so far.

Our trusty Epson PowerLite 3010 projector died after almost 10 years of heavy use. Since we’ll be moving to another house within a year and don’t know what kind of space we’ll have there for a home theater, we decided to the get the least-expensive decently rated projector we could find. The Epson Home Cinema 880 at $600 seems to be the entry-level equivalent of the 3010, which was $1,400 in 2012 (which was a bargain then). My five-star rating is based on the value for the price and isn’t meant to compare it with more-expensive projectors.First, the 880 is a lot smaller and lighter than the 3010. The team that installed the 3010 used a universal ceiling mount, so swapping out the projectors was easy. The 3010 was attached by four bolts, whereas the 880 uses three. If you’re replacing a projector, make sure your existing mount will work.The zoom range is much longer on the 880. We have a 120″ projection screen, which is about 12′ from the projector. At that distance, the maximum image size of the 3010 was 120″. When I turned on the 880, the image would have covered a 150″ screen. It took me a while to adjust the zoom and keystoning, but I eventually got it right.The 880’s fan seems slightly louder than the 3010’s. I’ve gotten used to it, but I was aware of it for the first couple weeks, whereas I don’t recall being aware of the 3010’s fan unless nothing was playing on the speakers. Projector mode is set to ECO, which I read makes the fan quieter.The 880’s brightness is 3300 lumens, whereas the 3010’s was 2200. Here’s the catch: In Bright Cinema mode, the image is easily viewable in a well-lit room, even during the day with the curtains open. However, the fan is EXTREMELY loud — almost as loud as our microwave oven. It’s unusable for us. In regular Cinema mode, the brightness seems comparable to the 3010’s brightness — beautiful in a darkened room, but washed out in a fully lit room.The color is gorgeous. I think the image is sharper than the 3010’s. At a 12′ viewing distance, I can see the pixels, but it’s not so much as to be distracting. I couldn’t see the pixels on the 3010.The 880 doesn’t do 3D, if that’s a concern for you. We have a handful of 3D Blu-ray Discs, including a couple of spectacular ones like Avatar. Moving up to to a 3D projector would have added several hundred dollars to the price, which wasn’t in our budget. That also would have gotten us a 4K projector (the 880 is 1080P), but our system is wired with HDMI 1.4 cabling, which doesn’t support 4K.In short, the 880 is a solid choice if you’re looking for a low-priced projector. In our next house, we’ll probably upgrade to a 4K projector that includes 3D, and of course we’ll need to have our system wired with HDMI 2.1 cabling.

This is my second Epson projector and my third projector overall, all of which were mounted in our living room. Previous to this we had an off-brand projector (720p) and there is no comparison to the Epson Home Cinema 880. Our first Epson projector was awesome (6 years ago) and this one is even better, with the full 1080p everything looks beautiful. We are using a ROKU stick almost exclusively as you can see in the pic.Pros:- Super bright picture works even in the daytime with windows open.- Adjustable keystone for corner alignment (you’ll still need to mount properly, it’s not a fix-all).- Very quiet in Eco mode. There is very little difference between picture quality in Eco and Normal mode, but the projector is MUCH louder in normal mode.- 3-hole mounting which is compatible with almost all universal projector mounts. (IMPORTANT: I had to return one mount and order a different one because I have vaulted ceilings if your mount is not long enough your screen will be too high off the ground and not eye level.)Here’s the mount I used: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RR26GSL/Cons:None I can think of.

So I wanted an projector for outdoor movie nights. First time researching and using. Based on amazon reviews I started with a sub $200 unit with top reviews. Could not get a good focus and wasn’t as bright as the numbers claimed. Off brand so wasn’t expecting too much, but this just did not work. had to return due to the focus issues. Then went with a $400 smart projector. Again amazing reviews and ratings. Still wasn’t very bright and the claim of being 1080. I couldn’t believe how unimpressed I was. But I thought maybe it was just how all projectors are. Returned because actually got a used unit as someone else account was still logged into the Netflix app. Decided I needed to get a known brand and spend a little more money. EPSON has always been reviewed well and after reading online reviews this unit came up often. WOW. is all I can say. so much better and brighter than the other 2 units I tried. Even if ANSI and lumens rated same or even lower. This thing lite up the whole room and easily seen in daylight. And the ability to manually focus to a clear and sharp 1080 resolution is amazing. I am so so happy with this projector. Been watching inside on my wall regularly now and not just for outdoor movie night!

The media could not be loaded. Im very happy I went this route.I did alot of research on which projector I should get with a price point of between $500-$1k.Full HD 1080P and 3000 lumens is more than enough for my family to watch outdoors for an afternoon movie night.The pictures and video were taken today indoors around 2:30p and its bright inside my living room.Android TV is awesome. Connected to wifi and I just logged in and played youtube TV in minutes.Tested chromecast and it works. Added this to my google home setup.You can download apps: disney, youtubeTV, VLC, netflix etc…Perfect for halloween holographic projections. Will use this to project Halloween videos from atmosfx.Wish lists:Included android TV dongle was separate- i wish it was built-in then I can have a free HDMI input available.The included android dongle is connected to the only HDMI input.Or… keep the dongle separated but at least give us two HDMI portsEither scenario would work better.Only one 5W speaker- two speakers would be better.But if you are adding an external bluetooth speaker then this does not matter.I wish there was just one remote. This package came in with two remotes. One for the projector and one for the android tv dongle.(advantage of separate android TV dongle) Now im thinking that the dongle is separated and you can use this and connect to your TV instead if projector was not working. Or connect to any other projector.Full integration of Google android TV and Epson projectors would be best scenario in my opinion.Overall happy with this purchase! 5-Stars!This was just recently released in September 2022. (Last month) so you are getting the lastest and newest model.I highly recommend this model from Epson if you have a budget of less than $1k.Dont buy the other projectors on amazon that are less than $200 since they are not reliable in terms of actual ANSI lumens and not reliable if its a full 1080P.1080P is good enough because theres not much 4k available from youtubeTV netflix or amazon anyways. If more and more shows are on 4k then go the 4k route but for now 1080P is good enough for me.No, i did not buy the protection plan.If this projector lasts for three years at least then I’m happy.Hope this review helps you. Good luck.My next purchase in the future will be the 4k laser short throw LS800 from epson.

Awesome for light or dark rooms. We first bought the Samsung one but it wasn’t bright enough at all.

I ordered this during a black friday promotion, and was hesitant on the price point but after deciding to pull the trigger this projector has been nothing but wonders since i’ve had it. The picture is extremely bright and clear to the point i can play games, watch tv, or stream anything whether there’s lights on, off or blinds open. There’s different modes that help with what you’re using it for, for instance game mode, cinema, bright, etc. Only downside i’ve had with this projector is the audio that comes built in is a little wonky, It’s bearable if you’re camping or out somewhere using it portable. But for cinema or home use i’d recommend a speaker to pair with it. I temporarily connected a beats pill via aux cord and charger cord connected to the back of the projector and that made it 100% better. Coming from Yabers Y21 projector which was a decent projector the Epson is night and day. Definitely satisfied and happy with my purchase, and i’d strongly recommend getting one of your wanting a projector.
