Glad to have gotten this projector, was sceptical at first and with the price had waited for a sale to get. Paired it with a 100 inch good screen and had to wait 6 weeks for the 3D glasses to come to watch our 1st home 3D movie on it. With limited space we bought a 4K 75 Inch tv to go with it since we can't have a dark room for and wait till later at night to use for best experience. Screen lowers down just in front of tv. But it was all worth it, we have been watching movies that are just as great in showing as on the 4K tv, tv shows as well. But what impressed us the most was when we finally got the 3D glasses, it is almost better watching it on the home projector as it is seeing it in the theatre in 3D. We have a 3D 4k 55 inch tv in the bedroom, but it doesn't compare at all to what this 3D projector does for 3D movies. Now our only problem is more 4K movies to be realesed with the 3D choice too included forcing people to not having to buy both or one or the other. Now we want to go back and order a lot more favorite movies of ours in 3D.

I bought this to replace a 1080p Panasonic PT AE8000U projector, which was nice but had an annoying joystick needed for lens shift. This Epson has motorized lens shift, focus, zoom and even lens cover, with memory to save settings. Video quality is good, fan on eco is quiet and still bright, and 3D is comparable to other active 3D LCD projectors. Overall, though, no projector offers this set of features at this price point. Very satisfied.
