Comments about Epson Home Cinema 5020UBe:

I am thoroughly impressed with this projector. I work in Hollywood in visual effects for feature films in 2D and 3D. I am used to running screenings in full size professional theaters so I have a very critical eye. This projector will be the closest to theater quality you can get for under $3,000

The 3D on this projector is one of the best I've seen for a home theater set up. The 2D holds up to my high standards as well considering the price.

I was very skeptical of the wireless HDMI especially in 3D mode but there is no difference between the signal being wired and going over the wireless. The Playstation3 does tend to drop signal when switching between games but it does this on the wired version as well, the Apple TV works great since it never drops the signal.

The bright mode on the projector when paired with a higher gain screen makes it so I can finally watch things on my projector during the day with moderate light coming into the room. The THX mode on movies in the evening produces accurate colors without any calibration.

Overall I am very happy with this projector and would highly recommend it.

Great buy and considering that it costs almost a thousand more at other websites, it was a good deal. With the quality of the pictures even with ambient light, i regret buying a tv before hand

using on a 100" screen, about 19 feet away, good throw characteristics. very good brightness, focus looks like it could be a bit better and these dont autofocus like some other brands. 3D is fantastic, found the epson glasses to be a bit clearer than a universal glasses i found on the internet, but the epson glasses are a bit pricey. The wireless HDMI was a main reason for me to get this, I didnt have to run wires, and only once in 4 movies did it lose synch for a few seconds, all the rest were fine.

I designed my living room with the option of a projector screen that descends from the ceiling for movie night. I also have a a large 65" lcd tv that is mounted for regular tv usage. I must say, the 3D Epson projector shows an absolutely amazing picture quality. I wasn't aware that the projector had a motionflow option to make the motion of the picture look extra clean. I also use a lens magnification (from Epson) that doubles the size of my image from a short throw distance. I couldnt be a happier customer. Don't waste your money on those top dollar projectors. Epson does it all! The setup is very simple, and the adjustable knobs on the projector make it very easy to adjust up, down, left, or right.
My primary reason for buying this, was simply for the 3D imaging. When you have a 3D flick on, your guests will be blown away guarenteed!!!

I bought this product to replace a $15,000 projector I bought 10 years ago and had professionals install it in a theatre room. The technology on the old projector just could not keep up with the new digital HD technology. I bought the e model because I did not want to have to run an HD cable through my wall and ceiling to the projector mount. I installed the projector myself. Instructions were easy to understand and the projector worked great. It takes a little while for the Wi Fi to connect to the cable or blue ray but once it does it is a great picture. Have watched several 3D movies and they look great. Better than the Theatre. Can't go wrong with the price and ease of set up of this projector. I am looking forward to many years of great entertainment.

Excellent Product, amazing 3D reproduction. Product was paired with a Carada Criterion screen with mind blowing result.

Thsi projector is great for movies in the living rooms, both 2D and 3D: I dare to say that the 3D experience is better than most theaters!
The full brighteness lamp setting is way too loud: however at eco settings the projector is actually brighter than my old Panny AE3000U, so it is not bad at all with 2D movies. But... the full lamp setting is required for 3D so beware.
The wireless works, kinda... When changing sources, or even when just the blu-ray skip to a different menu the wireless will reset and you will be waiting for few minutes in the darkness without knowing if and when the connection will be reinstablished. Sometimes you will have to wrestle with the wireless box to force to reconnect properly. But most importantly once you are watching a movie you are golden. If you switch tv channels with a mix&match of resolutions prepare for endless frustration.
