Epson EH-TW7100 3LCD, 4K PRO-UHD, 3000 Lumens, 500 Inch Display, Wide Lens Shift Range, Home Cinema, Streaming and Gaming Projector - White

Having previously had a number of cheaper LCD projectors from Chinese branded companies which to be honest were fairly good but I could never get that amazing looking picture I was after. My old projector which was only few months old had been great when I first brought it but already I could see a deterioration in picture quality which for a few month old projector was totally unacceptable. Somehow dust had managed to get into the sealed lens unit even though the filters had been regularly cleaned and there was a coloured hotspot Type circle noticeable on blue pictures. So finally I decided to take the plunge and buy myself a proper quality projector. After a bit of research it became clear that both Epson & BenQ made amazing quality projectors and after a bit more research I finally decided that the way forward for me was with Epson as they were a huge brand I had trusted before for other products and not been let down by.I was originally going to just buy a decent 1080P projector at around £600-£700 but then I noticed this TW7000 which through clever technology could actually do a very decent 4K projection. Costing only £300 more than the 1080p projectors I had previously been looking at. Ok the TW7000 doesn’t have built in speakers (TW7100 does) but for me this wasn’t a problem as I would have it set up either through my surround sound system or via Bluetooth anyway so I didn’t need built in speakers which from past experience had never sounded any good in a projector anyway.When the projector arrived the first thing I noticed was the difference in weight to my previous cheap Chinese projectors. This projector was much heavier but then rather than 1 LCD this does have 3 LCDs & rather than a led bulb it has a proper projector bulb which is much better and although the bulb won’t last anywhere near that of a LED light at least it is replaceable.I soon swapped over the old projector with my new epson even being able to use the same ceiling mount my old projectors had been using. Immediately Upon turning on the projector the difference in picture quality between the cheaper projectors and this one was blindingly evident. The colours jumped out of the screen vibrant and true with blacks and whites exactly that black and white. It was literally like having a 120” 4K TV mounted on my wall it was so crisp and colourful.Setup was a total breeze. Unlike cheaper projectors where I have spent hours trying to get the picture setup on my screen having to use the keystone correction to get the picture in the right position and straight but then ending up having problems with the whole projection being crisp and in focus or having it all in focus but not having the keystone completely straight. The epson brilliantly has 2 dials where you can physically move the angles of the lens up/down left/right making positioning so much easier meaning less need to play around with keystones. Even using the keystones to make the picture totally correct unlike the other projectors the whole screen is perfectly in focus and crisp.Picture quality is beyond amazing and although I am keeping all my old projectors for Halloween and Christmas outdoor/indoor decorations. I will never go back to the cheaper projectors for use as a watching source.I love the way you can also connect 3D Bluetooth shutter glasses to this projector. I finally got to watch my first 3D film at home using it the other day when I watched THE WALK and with the screen managing to take up 90% of my Field of View it made me feel as though I was there myself. Although Not the best film to watch let alone in 3D if your scared of heights.Been using this projector every day for a couple of months now and can not find a single fault with it.Epson projectors May not be cheap but by god you get what you pay for.

Oh my, what have I done? I finally took the plunge, sold the 55" telly and bought this shiny white beast. And what a beast it is! The images at 150" are stunningly clear, bright and contain rich colouring and detail. Viewing with blackout curtains or from dusk onwards is recommended as it does not have quite the brightness to view in daytime. Although not true 4K, at this price point there is no reason to complain. The speakers are adequately loud enough, but as the projector allows you to connect your smart speaker/s via bluetooth you might want to use alternatives. I decided to buy a bluetooth gizmo for a few quid to connect my amplifier to it. The fan, though not whisper quiet, is certainly unobtrusive and should not provide any unwelcome distraction. I have connected a wifi Roku stick to the projector and can play all the apps through it including; Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. Watching the animated series 'Love, Death and Robots' (Netflix) on this projector is mind-blowing and so is the remastered Star Wars IV 4K version. Natural history programs are especially astounding.This projector is an excellent purchase and its long lamp life should provide thousands of hours of quality viewing - cosily away from the unfortunate distractions sometimes experienced inside the movie theatre today.

Delivers a brilliant image and inbuilt speakers a bonus but a bit Tinny. bought for use around the house maybe pop up garden cinema for friends and family, here and there, to find it's quite a delicate machine that is ideal for a fixed set up rather than pack away and move around. Description of blue tooth is vague. Basically you can't blue tooth to it only out of it to say a speaker. I was hoping to wirelessly send images from devices to it like with a smart TV but if you can like I was leasd to believe from description then, I'm still trying to figure that out. Don't be tempted if buying from Amazon to purchase suggested Amazon fire stick. it is good but go buy from Tescos or other retailer, they're half the price of Amazon.

+ Very bright / daytime viewing possible+ Perfect, popping colors (3 LCD beats DLP !)+ 4k / UHD- 4k image indifferent to 1080p (no noticable difference when looking from 4-5 feet away, minor difference up close)- Poor sharpness uniformity (perfect centre but fuzzy corners when looking at text / lines)- Chunky box and clumsy, oldskul menu (looks like from 20 yrs ago)- High energy use & lots of heat (can act as portable heater) due to 300W bulb on board- Loud fan- Android TV dongle (built in) does not support 5GHz WiFi ! (shocking !)

I'm really pleased with this projector.The main reason I selected this one is because of massive range of throw ratios and the amount of vertical and horizontal lens adjustment. I'm projecting almost 4 metres to a 100 inch screen, and about 500mm off-centre horizontally and it copes with this perfectly.My only reservation is that, although it has built-in bluetooth it is Bluetooth 3 which leads to some delay in transmitting the sound so that lips don't sync perfectly with the speech. To cure this I bought a Bluetooth 5 transmitter and receiver, plugged the transmitter into the 3.5mm jack on the projector and the receiver into the back if my hifi amp - result minimal delay and much improved sound quality. Almost as good as a wired connection.The picture quality is superb. I receive streamed content through a Firestick plugged into one of 2 HDMI ports and this works perfectly. The picture is bright enough to not need full blackout and there are 4 settings so that the brightness can be toned down if required.The other HDMI port is connected to a X box for use with gaming and watching Blu Ray and regular DVDs.
