WOW!!

I bought this projector for myself last Christmas (2013). It is my first projector and it replaced a 25" crt. I recently just finished remodeling my living room (17'x18') and wanted a large screen tv to finish it off. Since this is my first projector, I had done quite a bit of research and still had many questions about placement, throw, input lag, etc.. But I pulled the trigger and purchased it anyway. I am beyond satisfied!
Currently, I do not have a screen as I simply didn't know what size I would need. Shooting onto the wall which is a goldish color gives a great picture. I was really surprised how white the whites are. Shooting onto a white bedsheet obviously gives better whites and skin tones, but it who needs a bedsheet hanging on the wall, so I just use the painted wall.
Placement:
Not really an issue. Currently, it is sitting off to the side of the room about 13' back shooting onto the wall opposite the sofa at about a 60 degree angle. The mechanical keystone adjustment squares the picture up nicely. The zoom, although not a large adjustment, allows ample adjustment in the range of 8-10" at this distance. Plus, the projector automatically deals with vertical keystone.

3D:
I really didn't care if the tv had 3D or not, but after I got the projector up and running, I decided to give 3D a try. I purchased the cheapest glasses I could find with the same 'Full HD 3D RF' symbol on them as on the projector. I also picked up Avatar-3D. Result... WOW! I don't see any reason to ever purchase another non-3D disc ever again! I will note that upon first setting up the 3D, I did get and error message that my ps3 could not detect my 3D viewing device. But after setting the video output settings of the ps3 (where you set screen size) and cycling power on the projector, all was well and it works flawlessly.
With a tv this large, you KNOW you are going to play games on it, so input lag was a concern. Since I only racing games, the input lag of this projector is not a problem. Don't even notice it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing quality - Replaced my TV!

I was a little iffy about getting a projector instead of a 100'' HDTV. The thought of classroon projectors and a faded image made me think twice. After reading other reviews on projectors, I decided to try this model.
I was amazed to see that the picture quality was just as good if not better than my 40'' HDTV. Here's a few features that I was looking for and that my Epson projector fulfilled for me:
Clear picture quality despite a bright room and a 100''+ screen size.
The built in speakers were not emphasized in the description but they were actually pretty loud. I was worried about that since I would not be able to afford a sound system right away.
Speaking of not being able to afford things, I did not have a ceiling mount handy. This is where the Keystoning feature comes in. My projector is on a table aimed at the wall at an angle yet the screen looks like its projected straight in front of the wall.
Now I'd recommend anyone to purchase a projector screen in addition to the projector, but as you can see I don't have a lot of money. I used a bare white wall with a bit of patterning in it and the projector still displayed a beautiful crisp image. Being a projector newbie and all, I was suprised with how clear and sharp the image was. Not only was it bigger than my TV but the image was far more crisp.
All in all, give projectors a chance to amaze you. And if you have to choose, the Epson 2030 is a great pick. Especially for someone like me that can't spend thousands at a time. Its a better investment in my opinion to get a larger screen and a comparable if not better image than an HDTV. Its also a lot cheaper to replace bulbs than repairing or buying an entire new TV.

One great projector

This projector has 1080p resolution, full 3D compatibility, MHL connectivity, excellent brightness , color saturation and dynamic range. I was ready to pay a whole lot more for a 3d capable projector; but I’m glad that I took a chance on this one. I have a 60” calibrated 3D plasma TV and it can’t touch the movie experience I get from this projector. I highly recommend the Home Cinema 2030.
