I saw a review about this projector about a year ago on a tv show called screen savers,which airs on tecTv.They gave it a good review so i gave it a try,AN LOVED IT.I only bought it to watch dvd's on an it works perfect for that.I have a huge wall in one room of our house an simply painted the wall white an use it as the screen.A 20 foot screen no less.It's the ultimate home theater,just add your surround sound an boom.No reason to ever leave your house for the movies again.Yes the lights do need to be low,or in my case i like it dark.But its got a great picture an more then worth the price.We've had nothing but fun with it ever since i bought.Its the perfect projector for those on a buget or for anyone that just dos'nt like to waste a lot of money on something like watching movies..............

I love my Epson Powerlite S1. I use it regularly for PowerPoint presentations in office settings and as a big screen TV in our home theatre.

For PowerPoint it does a tremendous job, providing clean, crisp images. For home theatre the room can't be too bright in order to see all of the detail, but that's a small concession to make for a projector that offers ease of use, very good quality, affordable replacement bulb price, and enough power to get the job done - all for under $1000. Very tough to beat this deal!

This projector has very large pixels and the picture is dark comparing with other projectors. I carefully compared this projector with several other brands in a store and got this conclusion. My experience is that you really need to compare several projectors before buying one. If you only believe the reviews, you may get very disappointed after you buy one and plug it in. After you plug it in, the only thought you may have may be how to get rid of it.

However, this projector does have a short throw rate which I like. This means you can use it not far from the screen to get a relatively large picture size. The projector only uses 100 to 120v power so it is not usable in some countries which use 220v electricity unless you use a transformer. So if you often travel to other countries, you need to be aware of this. Many other projectors do have the feature of using 220v. The physical size of this projector is large. When I went to a store to compare projectors, this projector was the largest of all. I also don't like the shape. It does not look neat to me. I like a projector with more flat surfaces.

This solid Epsion Video Projector is a must buy! With all of the excellent options and the right price, you can't miss!
