This is a re-edit and re-upload because there were comments that the audio for the previous version was crappy. And I agree. So, sorted. Hope this is better! Let me know your comments!

Hi I have the Epsom 5350 1080p projector. Cost me £ 585. 00 in UK. Not 4k still very happy with it. And use it a lot. Epsom are really good I find. Can't justify changing it. Great picture. Thanks for the video.

[@Vernonchan]

Great to hear that you're enjoying your Epson projector and thanks for popping by!

[@MattiaPiras7]

Hi, I have a problem with this projector, about two months after purchase, the projector makes a kind of intermittent flash especially in night cinema mode, with any source and device, which it doesn't do with dynamic mode, but it worsens the image, which problem can be? Has this happened to this model th-tw7000 from epson? Thank you

[@fredrikpeterson1987]

in this video how far from the wall is the projector and screen size ? 100-130 inch ? the projector info says max 1270m screen size = 500 Inch from 4.77m

[@tonyknezovic67]

Hi!What does 1080p content look like on this projector? I would continue to watch movies in 1080p resolution with the receiver and media player/pc in the same resolution. I would just change projectors. Now I use the old vivitek which is full hd. Is it worth it?

[@JANAKUSTEROVA]

How long does the lamp cool after turning off this projector? Thank you very much for your answer.

[@Vernonchan]

Cool down period is 7 seconds according to manufacturer specs but for the lamp cooling down per se unfortunately I don't have info on this.

[@DrakeVR125Z]

Hello, I have an EPSON EH-TW7000 and I have a 3D setup and the other 3D settings are also greyed out. I have a projector connected to an AVR Onkyo and I play movies via Kodi in a media player. Even when I try to turn on a movie or game in Xbox, the projector does not offer me any 3D options. At the same time, this projector has 3D capabilities. Can you advise me, thanks a lot

[@Bajakadabra]

Have you found a solution now? I have the same problem

[@carterpool2746]

Best 2022 projector amazing colors

[@Vernonchan]

Glad you think so!

[@Weirwood256]

Hey what wireless headphones are those that you're using with it

[@MattiaPiras7]

hello, I have two questions, can the image be reduced from distant positions? I have to use it 3.70 meters from the wall, the second question, is the horizontal lens shift good? I have to position it one meter to the left of the centre, I thank you

[@TheOnlySane]

I have a much older model, the Epson EH TW3200 from exactly 3,7 meters from the wall and I also have to lens shift it about 1 meter(!). And even this old Epson performs great under these circumstances! Even with some daylight seeping in.

[@MattiaPiras7]

@@TheOnlySane Hi I bought this projector tw7000, but I have a problem, if I connect the pc to the hdmi everything is fine, if I connect the fire stick 4k and then power it with usb the stick restarts and starts from scratch, what can it be? Can't feed it in general or does mine have a problem?

[@tillxxx861]

Would u prefer the epson or the LG HU70LS? For a ambient light using ( daily)

Haven’t tested the LG so can’t comment atm :)

Hahah, sorry!

[@slawsulik8062]

I just bought this projector and have a problems to connect it with the jbl 9.1 soundbar. I was trying to connect it with hdmi, and its not working. I was trying to connect it through Bluetooth, and its not working as well... can someone help me out with advice please

[@luto_676]

Try a different hdmi cord the one that came with mine didn't work at all , until I bought a new one and it worked

[@TheDearRecorded]

"Being fairly compact, it can be easily moved from room to room" ??? Is this the same projector I'm looking at? Saw it in the shop and it was an insane looking beast of a projector in comparison to many others out there in this price range?

[@Vernonchan]

Trust me I've seen and used bulkier and heavier ones!

[@bozukbeyin]

I've got the same projector, am very happy with it but it's definitely not compact lol. It didn't even fit my old 'universal' projector mount, had to order a new one!

Hi; Are you satisfied with this device? I'm thinking of buying it too, but the contrast is very low compared to the 7100 model, will it satisfy the user or is it worth paying the difference and buying the 7100?

Do you mean ATMOS? If so, no.

[@clemandgg]

Hey! Great video Is it good to connect it to a sound bar by Bluetooth?

[@Vernonchan]

Yes, definitely

[@hisxbr150]

I loved the brightness of the Epson. But being that it's only 2k even when pixel shifting I had to select the BenQ as it shifts 4xs the image was noticably crisper. HDR on the BenQ did not at all match that of the Epson though

[@Vernonchan]

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. BenQ does pretty good projectors, too

[@chrismitsos6817]

What are you talking about? If it was 2k only, why would it need to eshift? It's a 4k projector just like yours.

[@hisxbr150]

@@chrismitsos6817 The BenQ is known officially as a 4K UHD projector - that means it is capable of achieving the standard of 4K by putting 8 million pixels on the screen (8 million represents 4K). The BenQ is not native 4K. By comparison, the Epson only produces 4 million pixels on the screen, but also works with 4K content. As it turns out, both use chips that are inherently 1920 x1080 resolution - the difference is the pixel shifting. To increase detail, Epson fires each 1080p pixel twice, shifting its position. The BenQ does the same thing, but it hits the screen four times.

[@chrismitsos6817]

@@hisxbr150 But I've seen the epson next to a 4k optoma and I don't see a difference. If you say that it's only 4 million pixels I believe you. But in the menus it says "4k enhancement". If it doesn't reach 4k why would they call it 4 k ??

[@hisxbr150]

@@chrismitsos6817 cause 4k is a selling point. I've had a Epson 3200 and a BenQ tk800m side by side and trust me the menu on my Xbox alone was 2xs as crisp on the BenQ. Truly, I am a Epson fanboy 100% but facts are facts sadly

[@Bard_Emancipovani]

This Epson or BenQ TK700STi ?

[@forfun1017]

Is this epson worth 500euros? I am not sure if i have to take one :D never had projector but for 500 it looks good

[@holyravioli5795]

Come on man you can't use a 4k projector without a screen and especially not on a white wall with a lamp next to it.

[@Vernonchan]

Not everyone has a screen and my wall is gray!

[@ChristianBungert]

Totally agree dude: Buy a screen (high contrast at best in living room) and set lamp away from screen ...

[@chado468]

​@@Vernonchanyou even said that in the video, cheers !! I use a 1080 for all my gaming. This video is cool thanks !!

[@AlexandreLollini]

The reason I like LCD projectors is because I don't like TVs : the picture from the projector looks like nothing special, it is just true to the film of video you watch. Text reading is much more confortable than on any other screen, the eye is tired to look close, but the wall is far enough. The only drawback for me is power used. I will never let go of my projector, it is as important as my wife. lol also a dedicated screen with a rigid frame is much better than a wall. 1080p and 150in are enough for me, the best dark setting sends about 1200 lumens (even if the device is capable of 2600 when used for TV with lights on or wondow open). Lamp reduces in brightness with age. Use only genuine lamps, I had a generic lamp explode on me. Genuine lamps are brighter and shed less heat.

[@AlexandreLollini]

I started with projectors in 2004 and it was a Sanyo PLV-Z3 in 720p, and it is impossible to delete a video projector from my life since then. The next was Mistubichi HC5000 then Epson EH-TW9200 ans now after 4 lamps it has a pink vertical band, so I think about the next one. Each lamp did 125% of their expected lifetime. It is in use at least 6 hours per day, and even more some weekends. It is my computer screen, my tv and my ps4 display.

[@Sizosaid]

Do this projector have built in speaker?

[@Vernonchan]

Yes it does (not a very good one)

[@ivanbalashov468]

Why the black looks so washed out? Does it look the same in reality, or camera cannot capture colors correctly? I used to have very basic EB-S04 but it looked so much fuller.

[@Vernonchan]

It could be the ambient light and also the quality of the video footage. Blacks were punchier in real life though cannot be compared to a TV

[@gamenation93]

Because it was never filmed in darkness where it would shine a lot more and there was also a lamp right next to it and it was used on an untreated wall (no grey is not enough it needs to be a special paint minumum or a screen).

[@garyalcorn3831]

Can this be ceiling mounted?

[@Vernonchan]

Yes it can, it has mounts for wall/ceiling

[@SERCHIPAPER]

Bro, how can you do a review with a chromecast wihout 4k resolution? :c, i think with 4k source you will be more happy with your proyector. And if you buy this high level proyectors,i think is because you like a cinema experience with a good audio system like a home cinema or 5.1 sound bar with big subwoofer, and for this reason the companys in this type of proyectors dosnt come with speakers. Aswell, good video edit, good job.

[@kaifetzer7809]

Great video, what screen do you use ?

[@chrismitsos6817]

If it's not on par with a 4k dlp why is priced so high? And why doesn't epson have an lcd projector that can put 8 million pixels up on the screen?

[@Vernonchan]

That's a great question and I'd love to ask Epson about that

[@bojned]

@@Vernonchan It's not on par in resolution, but it surpasses DLP projectors in image quality. Brightness, contrast, colour accuracy and no rainbow effect that 3LCD tech offers is far beyond any single chip DLP projector. Also, I don't know if any other projector offers both horizontal and vertical lens shift at this price range - such a great feature to have if you have to offset the projector. I own Epson EH-TW5650, and that thing is killing any cheaper projector in image quality department. Only real upgrade for me now would be 4K 3LCD or laser projector. I would never go back to DLP.

An 86” Samsung TV blows this Epson out of the water for clarity and hdr, but the TV is heavy hard to move. If clarity doesn’t matter much to you and you need ultra portable large image the Epson might be a good choice.

[@Vernonchan]

I wouldn't disagree with you on your points. Ultimately, you can't beat a TV for clarity and contrast.

[@MG-kd7et]

@@Vernonchan I actually bought and tested the Epson, and while it is OK at night, it isn’t that good in daylight or ambient light, and it heats up the room like a medium space heater. The Samsung 86” TV allows me to see all the minute detail the Epson wasn’t able to show. I typically watch no larger than 92” so the 86” TV was better choice for me, and about the same price from Costco, if you factor in a decent projector screen (projector screen plus projector, is NOT portable).

[@Vernonchan]

@@MG-kd7et Great feedback!

[@MG-kd7et]

@@Vernonchan Thanks.

[@shmadmanuts]

ah, well, the cheapest 85" I can find around me cost double than this, and are about the same as the TW7400 - and still, those are the crap-o ones from sony(*096 series) or cheaper samsung (82", 8000 series) - about the price of samsung 65" QLEDs. On the other hand, the projector will have superb quality in a light-controlled environment, superb colour, great size I watch on an imperfect wight wall, no screen, HD (720p), at ~93" and I like it; will not go down to a 75" TV - thought about 85" but the price for the good ones is too high.
