Small, weak loudspeaker. You should boost it to 10 watts. I cannot play home videos on this unit from a USB flash drive. It shows photos OK.

We bought this as a family gift at Christmas, for watching movies. The picture is clear and bright even with residual daylight in our living room. Great resolution easily at 100" diagonal screen.

Connected and powered up in a few minutes. Easily connects to the computer or via chromcast. Controls are easy to learn and use. Great video on the garage door or inside wall. I would like to find a connector so the projector can be mounted on my camera tripod.

I've only had it for a short while, however.. I must say, this projector produces a very bright, colorful picture. I run an amazon fire TV thru the HDMI port and my fire tv is connected to a Bluetooth speaker. The picture is pretty amazing. It works well in my normally lit room. I use it to watch TV and we also use it for our outdoor cinema. Outdoors we project onto a 135" screen. We currently love this little thing. easy to move around, love the picture.. and the lack of sound output, not an issue for us since our source is Bluetooth capable :)

I bought this projector to use for a class I teach in Sunday school in a medium size room. I'm able to use the power point without dimming the lights which is easier on everyones' eyes, and lets me see my notes clearly.

This is a great Projector, I have it ceiling mounted in our family room, I use it every day for the kids when they are playing, the picture quality is great the clarity and brightness is excellent, I have a 5 way HDMI switch with audio in that I have everything connected to and then 1 HDMI going to the projector, this way we can use all of our systems and hook up surround sound without having to swap cables. Great projector, if you take the time to figure out everything you need it makes a great home cinema/entertainment center.

I bought this unit as part of my fully portable video system. I've used nearly every brand of audio-visual products in my 25 years of work as a public school district electronic technician. Epson has regularly produced some of the better quality projectors, and if you are seeking one with a specific feature, you're sure to find something in this line. Like I said, I was building a fully portable setup to use for movie night with my daughter's soccer team. I use a Gemmy 123 x 70 screen, and a Sony SR510H player. The Sony is not true 1080p, but it has HDMI for video and L/R analog audio outs, which I needed, because I connect this to a set of full-range powered loudspeakers for boosting the sound to match the high-quality projected image! This Epson puts out great colors, both primary and secondary, right out of the box (although I did tweak the saturation levels to my taste). The picture is sharp all the way out to the edges, and in a low light environment, the dark scenes have plenty of contrast to bring out the images. As a professional technician, I can tell you the audience was happy. How do I know? The kids became quiet during the movie. The adults could easily see/hear the show from over 40 feet away. That's 3 dozen people in one backyard. I would not hesitate to recommend this Epson for either a budget or a mid-level system. I saw no advantage to spending several hundred dollars more for a true 1080p projector, UNLESS you have a collection of Blu-Ray movies and a player to match. In my case, I get requests from others to play their disc, and most are simple widescreen discs. Bottom line, no one but a movie snob will notice the difference, or care.
