Customer Review: Very Good combo product
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought one of these, and I'm very happy with it. It's reasonably-priced and puts out a good quality, 3LCD picture. We just use our living room wall, which is slightly textured and beige, so don't think an added, costly, special screen or viewing room is absolutely necessary. The DVD player and speakers are an added bonus. You could conceivably use it anywhere to play DVD movies, in its factory-equipped state, without the need for a stereo receiver, an external DVD player, speakers, and all those wires. Anything you want to add just improves it. I upgraded from an older Toshiba DLP projector.
I haven't measured, but at the distance from the wall I have it, I get about an 8-10 foot diagonal picture in my modest living room. The lens adjustment is manual, but its controls easily adjust picture placement on the wall relative to the projector. The projector no longer has to be in the center of the room, just pointing straight at the wall. The projector unit rotates independently from the DVD base unit.
The projector has all the connections I need - HDMI, component, d-sub, and audio input. The speakers are decent in a living room setting, even when the projector is above and behind the couch. I love the versatility: if I want to use my own speakers I can. Any image-producing component I want to plug in can be plugged and played. The lens cover slides in and out of place. I even hooked up my PC output and played WoW.
I don't believe I've seen 720p on it yet, but that's an input limitation--the cable box only puts out 1080i or 480p. There's also a USB port, reportedly for playing movies from an i-"whatever", which I haven't used yet (no i-whatever).
With the size and unlimited viewing angle, it's a much better financial solution than a plasma or LCD TV, even with bulb replacement every 3000 hours or so (of actual use). The Epson site promises free overnite shipping on the bulbs, which can be replaced by you, so you don't have to wait two to four weeks+ for the service place to do it. I also like the replaceable air filter which should greatly extend the life of the product (compared to the Toshiba TDP-T9U which did not have an air filter and was not user-friendly for cleaning and bulb replacement).
