EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 Full HD 1080p Smart Portable Projector

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 have the Epson CO-FH02 and I’ve tried to upgrade thinking things would get better but they just don’t. I just returned the Nebula X1 because it wasn’t a noticeable improvement and was $3k instead of $499. The X1 had some weird banding in bright areas and my wife could see rainbows (I don’t see them but she couldn’t watch it). Epson has colors down and the 3LCD end up just looking better. Just my experience. I imagine the FH06 is similarly good if not better as it was made for home cinema but $100 more.

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.

A good suggestion I would say will be [this](https://www.reddit.com/user/Icy_Current9623/comments/1qjxyx7/epson_epiqvision_widescreen/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) from epson.The 3LCD image is easy on the eyes for long sessions.With 3,000 lumens, it's bright enough to use with some room lights on, and its simple HDMI setup and decent build quality make it a good choice.

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