Epson EF-12 3LCD, Full HD, 1000 Lumens, 150 Inch Display, Android TV, Sound by Yamaha, Gaming & Home Cinema Laser Projector - Black

I am probably going to echo what a lot of other reviewers have said, but this is a top projector in this price point and although improvements could be made (which I will address shortly), you really do get a good deal for your money.The unit is compact considering it has built in speakers, it's lightweight, quite attractive and made from decent materials. I mount it on a tripod and it's perfectly stable. Setup is relatively simple but may take longer than expected as it updates the firmware and then you will go through setting up Google TV. If you have a Google account all set up on your smartphone already (and have the Google Home app installed) then this will speed up the process. The projector will automatically focus and correct the keystone giving your a sharp, bright, vivid image which at 1080p you really can't fault. I was totally blown away (after putting up with a cheap £180 projector this was replacing).I tried various scenarios, from connecting a Chromecast dongle (to stream Netflix), a connection to my TV/Set-top Box and my PlayStation 4. Everything working flawlessly and no noticeable lag on the PS4. The sound quality equally good considering we are talking about 2 x 5W speakers.But there are some niggles.1.The cover for the battery compartment on the remote was so difficult to remove, I had to take a thin blade to prise it open. It took several minutes and all the time I thought it was going to break. Anyone with dexterity problems would have great difficulty with this.2. All the inputs are on the side of the projector, which means an unsightly array of cables and dongles dangling from the side rather than being tucked away at the back. This could be an issue if you are mounting it on a ceiling.3. The square hole at the front with its dropped lens looks a bit odd, I am not sure why it was designed like that, either way a sliding lens cover would have been a good idea here.4. The speakers sound really good, no distortion and are loud enough, but they understandably lack bass. You will need to look at an external speaker setup for a true immersive cinema experience, though you will have to allow for another wire protruding from the side!Overall though I am very happy with my purchase and after watching extensive reviews on YouTube and elsewhere, the consensus is that this is the best you can buy for under a grand.

I recently purchased the Epson EF-12 3LCD projector and I have to say, I'm really impressed with it so far. The image quality is fantastic - the colors are vibrant and the details are really crisp. I love that it's Full HD, which means I can watch movies and TV shows in high definition. The 150-inch display is also amazing - it's like having my own personal movie theater at home!Setting it up was really easy too. I just connected it to my laptop with an HDMI cable and I was good to go. I also love that it has built-in speakers - they're surprisingly good! Of course, if you want a more immersive audio experience, you can always connect external speakers.One of the things I really appreciate about the Epson EF-12 is its compact size. It's small enough to easily move from room to room or even take with me to a friend's house. Plus, the remote control is really intuitive and easy to use, which makes adjusting the settings a breeze.The only potential downside is that the 1000 lumens of brightness may not be enough for use in a brightly lit room. However, I've found that it works perfectly fine in a dark or dimly lit room, which is usually where I watch movies anyway.Overall, I would definitely recommend the Epson EF-12 3LCD projector to anyone who's looking for a high-quality, portable projector for their home. It's a bit pricier than some other options out there, but the image quality and ease of use make it totally worth it in my opinion.

Great quality using a 80 screen prefect picture have been using it mainly for gaming no lag sound is brilliant no need for external speaker only downnfall is no netflix cannot be downloaded however I plugged my sky q box in and watched through that great for movie nights

I bought this after trying the LG PF50KS which was also a good projector. However, I learned that the throw distance on the LG was too long for my room (it may suit others).The Epson gives me a 100" picture from 220cm which is perfect for my room. The brightness is better than the LG and is more than bright enough for me. I have a dark (ish) room and with the projector at 75% brightness the image at 100" is great. There is a little ambient light coming in the room but not much. I think as long as you are using this in a dark location it is perfect.I went for the EF-12 over the EF-11 as it was only £100 more and it comes with built in Android TV, a great Yamaha speaker built-in as well as 2 HDMI (instead of 1). It also has automatic focus and keystone correction whereas the EF-11 only has automatic vertical keystone correction. It is so simple to set up - just point it at the wall and it does everything for you!It is quite expensive but perfect for my needs.

Useless: image was tilted backwards and sideways whatever the orientation of the projector, so probably some component had come adrift inside it. Return process requested immediately. The returns label from the seller was not prepaid, which it should have been for this international transaction. I pointed this out; they did then send a prepaid label and arranged pickup by DHL. This was done, but no refund, and DHL came again a week later to "pick up the parcel". This was sorted out by DHL and I now have the refund. Admittedly the later problem was down to DHL, but I think some customers would not have checked the Amazon Marketplace returns T&Cs and would have paid to return the item.
