Epson EH-TW5700 3LCD, Full HD 1080p, 2700 Lumens, 332 Inch Display, Upto 11 Years Lamp Life, Home Cinema and Gaming Projector – White

UPDATE AFTER 6 MONTHS:This projector has been used as a tv. So after 6 months, it has almost 1300 hours of work life as it is on about 6 hrs a day. I don’t really care if lamp needs replacing every year or two. It is only £120-160. The experience is priceless to me. I can’t even watch a 55” tv set anymore. Yes, tv’s are brighter, but i don’t watch much tv in the afternoon.Nothing has changed. It works the same way as on day one. Fan noise is still very quiet. Lamp is still bright. The unit does not get hot. Just beautiful. I only upgraded the screen to 100” from 88”. Watching youtube videos to 4K streaming content is amazing. Haven’t tries 3D yet.FIRST REVIEW:Just a quick, 5 minute abstract review.Bright, colourful and crisp picture! No rainbow effect! Easy on eyes, can watch for hours. Auto lens cover! 2 year warranty, 3yr/3000hr lamp warranty. Epson happy to extend to 5yr for under £200.I use it as a 90” tv during day and night. I am using a grey React 3.0 screen to be able to watch it with full ambient light. With ambient light the experience is similar to a ‘plasma tv’. In a dark room the brightness needs to be reduced to eco, otherwise too bright.Lens shift, zoom, focus with remote! Top build quality. Amazing remote.Fan noise is far more acceptable than a couple other’s I’ve tried and had to retun, Viewsonic and Optima. All projectors make noise, this one is least noticible for projectors under £2000.Plus with DLP projectors, I noticed rainbow effect when watching dark scenes with subtitles.

I took my old dlp mitsubishi projector down and bought the big 4"k TV, hdr10 + dolby vision all the bells and whistles, but after a year or so, I just started to miss that big picture of a projector, obviously this doesn't have the hdr10 +and dolby vision, but really can anyone see the difference, this projector is so quiet, it's sitting right beside me until I get a shelf sorted, it's a beast compared to the old dlp but it's 10 times quieter, lens shift is so handy especially when watching a movie with the black bars as you can move screen to get rid of them, 4k in cinema mode is great and blu ray fantastic as well I'm so happy I've got the big picture again makes movie night so much better, go for it you won't be disappointed. You can go bright but noise goes up but still not a distraction, but I don't need to with curtains pulled and eco mode and cinema mode.

Great projector. Faux 4k is indistinguishable compared to "real" 4k in person.The projector is enjoyable viewing during daylight hours, but comes I to it's full glory at night or in light controlled conditions.The unit itself is very well made, but Very large and Very heavy. Make sure you account for this when deciding its location. The lens shift function gives quite a lot of versatility in that regard. But be aware its lack of Bluetooth will mean you'll need to run at least a cable to the front sound bar or buy a Bluetooth transmitter

Too big for tabletop use, had issues with Apple TV 4K as would not work with HDR even though stated would. No issues with 4K Blu-ray. Fairly quiet and good picture when fed right source. Had to return as mostly use Apple TV 4K.

Prior to buying this, I owned an Epson EH-TW3200, a highly rated full HD projector, so I had some experience. I don't own a TV, deciding to go projector-only about 5 years ago, and haven't look back. Movie nights are a real experience. I did lots of research before I purchased this projector - yes it's faux 4k, so it has a native resolution of 1920x1080 (full HD) and uses pixel-shifting technology to double the amount of pixels. The human eyes are not that clever, so for me, the real question is: "Does it look close to 4k in quality?"For me, yes. This is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade on my full HD projector, the details are much better, the colours beautiful and it gave me the "wow" factor - which I didn't think I would get having owned such a great projector for so many years. Brilliant purchase.
