Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)Epson's Moviemate is simply delightful!
At first I was a little skeptic about what i was getting for my buck. After seeing this little thing in action, WOW! The picture can be adujusted from about 32" view upto 144"!!! YES 144" that's 12 FEET! OF course the more you stretch it out the less crisp for the quality of the picture. The best median for me was around 83, which is the suggested projection size.
The sound on the unit is okay, its not a surround sound like a Bose home theatre, but its built in to the unit so you can PLUG AND PLAY. The subwoofer helps you get the surround sound enviroment so its a plus! I think it took me about 5 mintues to set up the whole gig and watch a movie.
I would say this MovieMate deserves a strong 4 or perhaps even a 5! Everyone's opinion is going to be a bit different so go buy it, try it and be amazed! If you disagree, return it after enjoying a movie at a 144" display!
(5 out of 5)Excellent Choice for Practical Home Theatre
I did a lot of research on projectors before making this purchase. I was not looking for a $2,500+ unit. I wanted something for the kids to have movie night at home and duplicate the big screen theatre experience. The Moviemate is a sound choice. I took it out of the box and we literally were watching DVDs within 5 minutes. The picture quality is very good. The sound (with the subwoofer) is also good. Sure I could have bought a better unit, but i would have paid a lot more money and have to hook it to my cable box or dvd player. This is compact, portable and an all around good value. I like the fact that we can now take the theatre to the grandparents, who don't get out. I am very happy with this purchase. We bought the Epson Moviemate 33s which is a combo unit that includes the Movie Mate 30, the subwoofer and screen -- an even better value. We have not used the screen yet. The picture is perfect on our light blue wall. It you are looking for an all-in-one under $1,000, you will not be disappointed with this purchase.

The Epson MovieMate 33 great portable system. Just about 5 minutes to set up your portable projector and sub woofer, it looks great and sounds fabulous! Nice warranty goes with it also!
(5 out of 5)Great on the eyes, old fashion Movie Theater Feel
This is a great product and easy to set up that gives it two stars right there. The third star is for sturdiness, the fourth star is for quality of picture and the fifth is for sound. It's a good Projector, we hooked it up with our satellite and it works great.
The only downfall I see is the cost of replacement bulbs, however you can shop online and find ones much cheaper then straight from the manufacturer.
(5 out of 5)Best For Your Buck!!!
This projector rocks. It is simple to use, sets up easily, and provides a spectacular picture. PS2 jams on a 150 inch screen. They say to use a white wall for projection if not using a screen, but I have chocolate brown wall and picture is still AWESOME!!!Built in DVD player is a great feature. Since there is no TV tuner built in, I hooked up a vcr to watch cable too. Sound is good but you definitely want to get the subwoofer that goes with it. This is the best projector for your buck, period!
