This projector is super crisp. Once you find the desired settings the picture will blow you away.(eco mode is best, without it the picture is too bright). Netflix and their high def movies is ideal. I don’t see the need for 4K with a projector like such.

I love this projector. I use it for making projections of 35mm photography. The color reproduction is beautiful and the detail is fine. It's not glaring like some of the other projectors on the market. My only complaint is that it doesn't throw that far/large. But that's small compared to how true the image is. I tested many, many projectors and this was by far the best. I really hope that Epson keeps making these projectors. I am disheartened that it is discontinued. I can't find anything else which does so simply and beautifully what I need at this price point.

I bought this projector a month ago and use it everyday. With the hdmi through my denon receiver the surround sound is excellent with the awesome picture.

I bought this 5 months ago and we use it about 4 hours a week and it stopped working! The lamp light was blinking so I replaced the bulb and it still does not work. I now have to pay to ship to Epson and hope they can fix it as it’s still under the manufacture warrenty.

We previously owned two Epson 955WH projectors and have had a good experience with them. I was looking to buy a third and came across the newer Cinema 1040 which had higher resolution and just slightly less lumen output but at a much lower cost. We decided to try it out and I have been very impressed. I can't tell a difference in light output even when they are side by side. They both have roughly the same features with dual HDMI in. The only sacrifice for us was zoom range and no audio output.

I need a bright projector for outdoor movies and fun inside. This fit the bill. It is light and bright. Also, I found replacement bulbs to be less expensive than others. I plan on having this a long time so the warranty was great as well.
