Epson MovieMate 72 720p 3LCD Home Theater Projector with Built In DVD Player

The projector was a breeze to set up. The sound is good, but do not expect surround sound quality. I would definitely recommend this particular model. This is my first projector, but the ability to have a dvd with sound already in the machine made my decision easier. I was not looking forward to hooking up a dvd player and stereo with speakers to the projector. We used it at our farm and projected onto a vinyl covering. The kids enjoyed watching the movie outside and the sound in the "open air" was good. The projection was great in different setups. The Epson name also influenced my decision.

If you're not familiar with projectors fear not! for I wasnt either.
This unit is awesome! you've got the built in dvd player,great picture,720p....Ive measured up to 128 in.diagonally....the built in sound system will really suprise you!...watching tv, internet or playing video games are all easy to connect as well...lets see convenience plays a factor...when you're done put it in the closet or whereever...just have a white wall freed up for use! I cant come up with a negative aspect about this little wonder! Oh by the way watching football has never been more fun!!! Overall a great investment!!

I'm so happy with this thing I could go on and on about it all day, but I'll try be to as concise as I can.

Simply put, I love it. I absolutely love it.

Suffice it to say this is one of those rare purchases that you can allow yourself to get excited about making, and then find out that you underestimated how excited you should have gotten. It has exceeded every expectation I may have had - it does everything it's supposed to do, and does it astonishingly well. Truly exceptional picture quality in terms of both color and clarity, ridiculously simple to set up and operate, and extraordinarily user friendly. I'm using it with (most of the time) a 100" Elite Screen, and my little theatre room has quickly become my favorite room in the house.

I also bought a 120" portable screen (an Elite ELF120NWH ezCinema) to use outdoors, which I've already done more than a few times. How cool is it to be able to (in 3 minutes) set up a very respectable outdoor theatre? Sittin' outside on a beautiful evening watching movies - trust me, it's a great time.

Be sure to buy the Epson subwoofer (Epson EPMM30SWS SUB-4A1 Silver MovieMate Subwoofer 40W) - I would describe the sound quality as merely acceptable without it, and considering how remarkable the picture quality is, that's just silly. Power up the sub, plug in one wire, the sound quality instantly equals that of the picture - you end up with a true movie experience that needs no apologies for either the audio or video.

Indoors or out, this thing rocks. Period. And the low price seems even more absurd after you see what it can do.

There ya have it. Obviously I'm a really happy customer. I can say with confidence there's a high probability you will be too. Good luck :)

We are happy with our Epson MovieMate. A nice feature is the ability to center the picture on the screen both horizontally and vertically by easy controls on the projector. The built in speakers are adequate, also.

I've been wanting this thing since it came out, Now that the price has dropped I jumped On IT! This thing is great! I have it hooked up to my Toshiba HD DVD, My scientific Atlantic 8300HD cable box and my Samsung Blu Ray player!(HDMI Switch is a must) MY pretty Black Eppy comes w/all the standard inputs you need to run it as a stationary Hometheater Projector or as a portable Projector DVD player. I'll be honest when I run a standard def movie via Blu Ray or HD DVD player it looks the same, But movies In High DEF, I just sat there and said "WOOOOOOOOOOOOW" this thing has Deep rich color! The DVD player in the Moviemate 72 is good even my burned movies look good on it. Some may want to ceiling mount it but this does not support that type of installation, so what I did was installed a Standard TV wall mount but u can use a standard tv ceiling mount and put it up there! I can insert my disc face to face now unlike the Moviemate 25 which loads from the back, this is a first generation moviemate I purchased 3-4 yrs ago it does not turn, the Moviemate 72 turns on it's chassis for better loading. Now this is native 720p resolution and up scales to 1080p. If u put a 4:3 movie in you can stretch it out and up to fit the screen 16:9 or make it smaller it has other good little tricks to it, oh' the speakers sound fills the room u can hook this up to a subwoofer I used my old Moviemate 25's I kind use this when I'm not trying to rock my building w/my sound system U can hook this up to a system also through standard RCA cables or digital optical cable but i have mine hooked through the optical cable to my system as well as having my eternal HD devices to the sound system. Bottom line for this product... GO FOR IT!!!!
