Hey thanks for the feedback, I’m only just starting out on this journey but have been listening to folks like yourself on here and have always just loved the gravitas of a larger image Ok so this is total daylight, 12pm as I was on a break, with French doors opposite the wall Hope this helps others also, this is a great sub with some great knowledgable folks, basically I just love projectors and their displayed output I have this epson set to dynamic, based on a kind individual on here’s recommendation https://preview.redd.it/e68733trt2gg1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec10bac30a06894fb49efc2a59d8001b77931c21

Thank you kindly Tools for the job n all,,, this one is a sole film night unit, but equally it can perform in daylight, but the 1000ansi may hold it back Anyways appreciate the comments

Replying to Alarming-Yoghurt-615... Hahaha Epson crew,, honestly I absoloutly love this thing. Total film enjoyment now Yours should look epic with a screen https://preview.redd.it/6u097omzm4gg1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=374e3102b1432ebf2011271397c484bba56ec97e

I promised myself I’d watch empire and ROTJ soon s I got it lol, and if films as old as me look this good, then I have no idea how good Bladerunner 2049 etc will be

I won one as a gift from Epson, man looks awesome in my 120 inches screen, great tiny projector

Just bought a refurbished epson ef21 on their website today, I can give you reviews when it arrives. it might take a week. $666 CAD good sign I guess LOL

It's because of the size it's compact "I will put it above my bed", distance throw 120" at 9ft, almost silent, and it doesn't have RBE. What I really wanted was hisense m2 Pro, but I can't handle the rbe, and speckle made me go for ef21 since it's perfect for my screen size/throw distance.

Bro mine arrived today! I can't wait to get home and try it! Although Epson fk up my addressed and it got delayed + their awful support I am happy that the delayed product arrived!

Haven't set up my screen yet, kinda tired haha will do it tomorrow so far I am happy.

Refurbished Epson ef21 on epson store

Oh that's true input lag is meh on ef21. I only read the $500 🤣 lazy because I am at work right now

I like the Epson EF21 because it's basically a short throw projector but branded as regular throw LOL. Check reviews if you can live with its input lag. You can order this on epson main store. You will basically get brand-new like product.

I like my Epson ef 21

I have the EF 21 and I fucking love this projector. It’s sharp as fuck does auto Keystone and it’s just a solid machine. I got a lot of heat or hate from people that like other brands but I just trust Epson

I’ve had an EF-21 for four months and I love it. It’s projecting a 124” image in a partially light controlled room and the image quality is great. I bought a cheaper projector first, and then figured I’d try this out, and it was way better.

Yeah, I was never going to buy something for more than $1k as my first projector. I didn’t know how much we’d use it or like it. Turns out, we love it, in no small part because the picture is great. Keep in mind that there is only one HDMI port. I’ve got mine plugged into an AVR, which I can then plug additional sources into. It has ARC, so everything can be controlled seamlessly.

I just got refurbished epson ef21 basically a short throw projector pretending to be normal throw 🤣

I play ZA on an older version of the Epson EpiqVision Mini laser projector. I got this projector because it is a good quality build for a reasonable price, and with a laser light source. I didn’t want to deal with fragile projector bulbs. Input lag is negligible, although “experts” at twitchy games like Smash might notice a difference from playing on the Switch screen directly. I’m using a second hand overhead projector screen that I can pull down when I play and pop up and away when I’m done. The projector needs to be about 6 feet away from the screen. The EpiqVision has two HDMI ports (like a TV) and a decent built in speaker. When I watch movies with it, I typically connect it to my Apple TV/Homepod, but the projector does also have some smart TV functions.

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.

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.
