Fh02 epson. Brightest proejctor ever.

hmm , I think something like [this ](https://www.amazon.com/Epson-EpiqVision-Streaming-Brightness-Entertainment/dp/B0B9CG7QZK?crid=MMFHO3B2AW6I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vaYSzFkJZdFzQ5_Cn-URjsKlqup4NbiiRDp-ZHd2enz_tt8OUFKFQFevIaoA0Sq-v6i-gK1uMLWYkEmO2zG-4yQ7KUBcDVDJmv5oftbieRA-aTwILpaTDJ0MoiVgFbtjZHencoX2Pjru2VXq5eyI5xQ4FmZFoUCmJhBZv9paTjPRjIvs66sfLxH6c4FBgTk_5R4DbM0muqYRNAnGQz6MaPlvQpZDKRQcqQqNlZylDdc.BDvjXMVpLDy1J8L-zRC1w8fzwcVCY3lMS9fL5IIaOMk&dib_tag=se&keywords=Epson+co+fh02&qid=1750969311&sprefix=epson+co+fh02%2Caps%2C401&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=grok43-20&linkId=7bf6b241f505eed6d868c8da44c381ff&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) would work ,It delivers bright and clear 1080p video thanks to its 3LCD tech and 3000 lumens of color/white brightness, making it well-suited for rooms with some ambient light. Its short throw works well at your 3–5 meter distance, and built-in Android TV is a plus for streaming. You can simply ignore the Bluetooth if you’re using a stereo system via HDMI or aux. Overall, it’s a good value projector under €600 for a group movie setup without going overboard on features you don’t need

I got this on a budget and shoot at a 91” budget Elite Spectrum 2 screen. It looks great at night but during the day it is washed out for sure. Since i only watch tv in the evening and am not a weekend sports person it is great for me. So I would say in your budget if you have a dark room this kind of setup or a more modern 4k version could work but if you have a daylight room, nah. Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 Full HD 1080p Smart Streaming Portable Projector, 3-Chip 3LCD, 3,000 Lumen Color/White Brightness, Android TV

This projector is only 720p and would only look decent in a dark room at night. At 180 lumens, it would be good as a kids first projector but that's about it. I own a flashlight that's brighter than this. For outside, I would think you would need something with at least 2500+ lumens (3k or more is better) with plenty of shade. This refurbished [Epson EpiqVision CO-FH02](https://www.amazon.com/Epson-EpiqVision-Streaming-Brightness-Entertainment/dp/B0CQ3Y6GNS/?th=1) looks pretty nice for 1080p. You could also look into used Epson 880 or Epson 1080.

Kind of depends what you want it to do. If you want a full 4K home cinema, you're looking at $1500+. If you want base HD to do large movies for novelty, there's an Epson Epiq that's about $500 that'll work. The $1500+ ones are unbeatable though, I won't go back to a TV if I have a choice.

Yes it is. Got mine open box in 500$. For anime it's a no brainer.

For $800 you’re looking at 1080p not even pixel shift. You’ll have to do the math on throw distance but an Epson 1080 or Benq 585 are decent machines

If that's the case, see if you can look at an Epson 1080, maybe refurbished or open-box. It will be a good starting point and its retail price is around $500 US. The Epson 8350 (my first ever projector) is also a good option. They have been out of production for awhile but they can be had for $250 or less. Only down side is they are larger than that Optoma or the 1080.

I have the Epson 880 and 1080.  They're both fantastic projector and some of the best values you can possibly get, especially in the 200 - $250 range, which is phenomenal value.  1060 is, as I understand it, similar to between the 880 and 1080 so I would absolutely recommend it.

I love my 1080 Epson projector. Quality seems plenty good for me, and I strongly prefer the experience of watching it over my 4k TV. Not sure of the purpose of OP's post, but my enjoyment factor is in no way influenced by your opinions.

Your previous projector only had 1000ANSI lumens not bright enough. I'd say at least 2500-4200 is perfect for daytime viewing. If you pair it with a grey screen even the cheap cloth ones it will improve contrast an reduce the light washout you get in the day. There are also paint mixes you can paint on your wall. For $1100 on Amazon you can get a new Epson 2350 with 4k uhd/pixel shifting 2800ANSI lumens. The Epson 1080 is a decent option for $700 at 1080p 3400ANSI lumens. I have 4 Epson projectors the home cinema 3100 at 2600 ANSI lumens, the 696ui at 3800 ANSI lumens, the 2247u at 4200 ANSI lumens and the LS650 at 3600 ANSI lumens. All bright enough and I have them all in eco mode.

The Epson hc 880, 1060, and 1080 are wonderful little light cannons and great quality for value. If I find one at that price I'm buying it for a secondary or movable protector They still won't compete with the sun but will work well at night/ late evening and they are physically small and easy to move

Try to look locally and find a used epson 880/660/1080/1060 or benq ht2050. They're old enough that they're probably around that price used and they have well documented response times. I sold my HT2050 for 250$ on fb marketplace last year. If you can go up to 500$ you can find an epson official refurbished hc1080 https://epson.com/Certified-ReNew/c/cc?q=%3Aprice-asc%3AdiscontinuedFlag%3Afalse%3AinStockFlag%3Atrue%3AproductType%3APROJECTOR

Maybe try and find a used Epson 880, 1060, 1080, 660. You'll need a lot of light for 200in, those are very high brightness 1080p projectors. Most affordable while still being designed for home theater use (vs office use). If you can afford 400$, Epson sells factory refurbs for around that much

I think you have the right instincts here A 4k projector will do the trick. Heck I have a 1080p Epson I picked up open box and a denon avr that can do 7.1. No atmos. And it sounds and looks amazing So nowadays an atmos capable receiver and 4k projector ( even just led ). Will look and sound amazing Just need a few small extra back speakers if and when you decide to use all the extra channels

I don’t have a 4k tv even. I will probably get one soon But I am really impressed with how good even an 1080p Epson can project at 110” image that is totally cinematic So I think any 4 k Epson will be totally good I feed it an Apple TV I have a marantz cinema 70 which is their lowest powered one and use an extra 2 channel amp I have to power fronts. That room looks pretty big so I would go with something cinema 50 and still have the option to add extra power later.
