Epson Home Cinema 1060 Full HD 1080p 3,100 Lumens Color Brightness (Color Light Output) 3,100 Lumens White Brightness (White Light Output) 2x Hdmi (1x Mhl) Built-in Speakers 3lcd Projector

I purchased this for a Home Set up -where I use it with a DENON Receiver and a 5.1 Speaker set up. I have the Image being displayed on a Elite Evanesce Ceiling Mount retractable screen (100inch). The Projector is mounted on the ceiling about 94 inches from the screen face. It will primarily be used for Watching movies, Sports and for the Kids to play Games on it. Very good and comparable Picture Quality with the likes of OPTOMA projectors of similar class as the OPTOMA 1080 Darbee and the HD-39 Darbee - which I purchased originally but returned. The OPTOMA 1080 Darbee had inconsistent documentation - in some places it seems like it had a ZOOM Ring but it really didn't -and I wasn't able to adjust the image size. The HD-39 does have a Zoom ring but it did not provide enough zoom -for me to be able to fill up the screen from where the Projector is mounted on the ceiling The Set Up is easy and Set up from the MENU button on the Remote is very intuitive I was able to use the Keystone keys to make fine adjustments to get the image placed correctly across the screen. In my particular case, the ZOOM worked very well and I have a full image across the 100inch screen. The fan is a tiny bit louder than the OPTOMA -so it seems - but you can't really hear it much when you have a Movie or a game playing with the Dolby 5.1 Audio over the Ceiling/wall mount speakers in the room The one thing, I do miss is the 12V Trigger input on the EPSON projector - which I liked on the OPTOMA family. The benefit of having that is that you don't have to use the Separate remotes for the Screen and the Projector - but I guess you gain some and you lose some. I hope Epson considers including that for future versions of the Projector. I am intending to get over that limitation by using a Logitech Harmony Remote and Programming the Actions on there. With the one movie, that I already watched on the Projector -so far very happy with the results.

I agonized over getting this, vs. a more expensive / higher lumen projector (e.g., the 4500-lumen BenQ for MH750 for $1,000). As quick context, my viewing room is pretty much a wall of windows out onto a clear blue sunny California sky. Below is a picture of my room without *any* lights turned on, to get a sense. I registered 2000 Lux (about 200 foot-candles) coming in through the windows at 11 am, and about 600 Lux hitting the screen directly (it is at a 90-degree angle to the windows). At around 60 foot-candles, this is about 6 times brighter than a typical living room in the evening with all the lights turned on, and about 25% brighter than the standard office with all the lights on. So that is my use case. LOTS of ambient light. And in that context, this unit does a great job. I'm particularly fond of the color balance - it doesn't wash out colors like my other DLP. It does a great job on watching sports, or doing business presentations. I haven't tried it on a dark movie scene yet, but can say it washes a bit grey on blacks. I find that totally acceptable in exchange for the bright picture in my ambient light situation, though I can understand if someone with a perfect dark room might prefer a DLP or something with better black levels. As to configuration. Very inexpensive. I'm using the VIVO 100" screen, 1.1 gain, available for $79 at last check on Amazon. And, I purchased a Bluesky HD1080p 3D HDMI Audio Extractor Splitter to let me split out the Audio from the rest of the HDMI signal and skip the speakers on the projector. This was $21. I haven't yet used the speakers on the projector, but at 2W I assume they are what others have reviewed - useless. That said, listening to the fan, it is not bothersome. I can hear it, but not at all over a normal level of TV audio so not a worry that I can see. Last photo below. This is a 30-degree angle from center, taken on my phone camera. It looks a bit more washed out in the photo than it does live; it is a great picture. Totally fine and pleasurable to watch a basketball game in broad daylight in what is just about the worst ambient light situation I can think of, other than sitting outside in the sunlight. Given the size, I prefer it to my 65" TV, and don't feel like I'm missing whatever color / clarity I've lost vs. the LED-LCD TV unit I have. Sharing all of this, because I agonized over this decision and must have read 300 reviews and 40 articles or so before taking the plunge. I haven't experienced all those other options, but can say for the price point (and really for even a higher price point) I'm thrilled with this setup for my room. Hope this review helps you out!

This Epson replaced an older Viewsonic projector that was on the fritz. Overall this projector is a great value, it is much brighter than the Viewsonic which stated it had a similar lumen output. The picture quality is pretty much even as they are both 1080. The ability to modify corners above and beyond typical keystone adjustment is great as well for lining up your image. The two drawbacks with this projector are as follows: As with all projectors the internal audio is useless The big flaw is the automatic iris/aperture is very noisy. Im not sure if it’s just a flaw on my individual projector or if they are all quite loud while adjusting during projection.

This projector was purchased as an interim unit to replace a failed four year old Panasonic. We wanted a 4K capable projector but prices are still far too high, so this unit will suffice in the meantime. So far, so good. For an affordable 1080P capable projector, this unit is spectacular. Displaying 4K edited video, scaled down to 1080P, it simply looks exceptional. The controls for keystone, zoom, focus, etc., are a bit fidgety but useable and the overall case and construction looks/feels a bit cheap. However, Epson claims an extremely wide color gamut for this projector and I can concur. The color balance using the Cinema (normal) mode matches the Retina display on my MacBook Pro almost perfectly when judging by eye. Black levels aren't perfect, no LCD based projector really is but they are very good. Contrast ratio seems excellent and the light output is such that a darkened (but not pitch black) room will allow daylight use. The projector is very quiet, it simply doesn't intrude at all on a presentation. I do have a concern about bulb life as a result of no cool down when turned off. Other projectors I've owned and used have a period of a few minutes that an internal fan continues to run to cool the bulb. This unit does not. The warranty is two years which about the length of time I'm hoping to use it before replacing with a true 4K projector.

Great, I really didn't have enough for the 4k version, but close enough. Certainly looks better than my Sony Hd LED tv I wasted 900 dollars on. I do an incredible amount of work on computer and watch movies and games on Ps4. LED's cause irreversible eye damage so I suffered a great amount of pain. Sold my tv I got new in 2014, problem went away like instantly. Plus it's great having a big nice picture. Problems include Hdmi cords are not designed to go more than 15 feet, so I ended up getting a nice 13 footer. Works out good because contrary to what I thought based on the information here, the projector is not placed at the back of the room, more like the center of the room, behind the audience exactly. I enjoy the sound of the quit fan, it's relaxing. Also, optical hdmi can be used to lengthen hdmi chord, but the one I received from Amazon dealer did not function with projector, only worked with old LED tv. There is no optical output in my computer yet, so sound from hdmi out to tv then out of tv optical output is no longer functional and sound must be reinstalled, like an optical output unit for my desktop, I guess. Unit is high, near ceiling and also generates heat, to be factored into your arrangement. UPDATED When I purchased this I had called to make sure that this had no wireless connectivity because RF waves cause major health problems, it is why I got rid of all of my wireless devices. Not really effecting the review because this is the only device not using super-harmful LED technology. Obviously, like the xbox where I opened it up to remove the wifi card and fixed it from emitting rf, here I need to do likewise or get some type of faraday cage for it to reside in I guess because LED technology is so incredibly harmful to the eyes it is out of the question. Maybe a different model or company will be necessary. Usually wireless is some type of card soldered or bolted onto the main board. Anyways, rf meter says this is the only rf emitting device in the house other than my non-wifi ethernet router, so it needs to be corrected asap.

Very few people have experiences with home video projectors because the prices won't allow people to just buy them and try them out. I've owned two and tested a few before I bought this one. Here are the must have specs: 1) Bright output 3,000 lumens or higher. 2) Resolution must be no less than 900 pixels in height, so that means 1080p is the ideal resolution. You don't need 4K because the focus lens can smooth out pixels while maintaining a super sharp clean image. 3) 30 bit color depth or higher. Anything less makes the projected image look undesirable. This projector has all the high quality image specs in one. For sound, it has an AUX out to connect to a sound system. Most people will use a separate sound system and never use the projector's speakers, so this projector only having one small mono speaker is not an issue. It projects at 16:10 aspect ratio, which means that you'll get the entire 16:9 image from side to side and the entire 4:3 image from top to bottom. It covers an entire 8 foot tall wall from just 6 feet away. Another great feature about this model is that the main output lens is tucked in deep the unit, that makes viewing the screen comfortable to your eyes because you don't get that bright side view light in your view like with projectors with the main out lens sticking out the body frame. I tested the LESHP projector that amazon sells for under $200, bad... really bad color depth, the image looks awful! I own the Epson PowerLite 3lcd DVD combo. The lumens is 2100, it makes the entire image disappear when you turn on the room lights. It has great color depth, but resolution is 720p, which is not bad, but not in the realms of greatness. Final thoughts: 3LCD is way better than DLP. Stay away from cheap priced projectors. The 1060 is the must have. Don't settle for less.

I easily got this to work with a Mac Air portable computer, setup was simple and works without problem. That is a relief as the mac systems can be difficult to use with PC centric equipment. I simply attached a USB-B type cable (same kind as the Mac uses with an HP printer) and it was instantly recognized by the computer with no downloading or playing with settings on either unit Displayed picture is very nice and bright in a conference room or at home. Adjustments for projected image are straight forward. Haven't tried it with movies, but it has several connection types so looks ready for other kinds of connections. Unit construction and features are clean and simple. . Price is reasonable, so don't spend a bunch more money unless you have certain requirements this unit won't meet. Using an old cloth suitcase with a bit of bubble wrap and foam pieces for a carrying case, it has room for cables, wiring or other equip also. Replacement bulb is also comparatively inexpensive. Will update this review if major problems occur.

There are a lot of great things going for this unit, and only one negative, but it's a big one. Picture quality is great, easy to set up, and decently bright in the right circumstances. *However*, this unit has a "regular power" mode, and an "ECO power-saving" mode. Regular power runs the bulb at the expected, full-power brightness, and it is a great picture! BUT, the cooling fan kicks up to the speed and noise level of a VACUUM cleaner!! If you want reasonable quiet in the room, you will be FORCED to run the unit in ECO mode, and consequently run with the dimmer light output. It is really too bad, and worth taking two stars off of an otherwise 5-star unit.
