I originally wanted to purchase a Hisense short throw projector and after placing my order I received a phone call from a gentleman named David Solomon letting me know that it wasn’t available anymore. I was then offered two possible replacements. One was a Formovie short throw projector and the Epson LS800. David was very very helpful with the differences between the two projectors and had all the patience in the world with all my questions both on our phone call and through emails. After hearing what I would mostly be using the projector for, with David’s help, I decided to go with the Epson LS800. The Projector was delivered super quick and setup was a breeze. The most difficult part of everything (if you want to call it difficult) was putting together the 100” Formovie Ambient Light screen that I purchased with the projector. The picture on this projector is unbelievable and I will never look to purchase a normal big screen TV again. I would recommend to anyone to use ProjectorScreen.com for your projector purchase. David made me feel like a customer that he truly cared about helping and should be commended for his customer service….5 STARS all the way around!!!
I have had this projector for a few months now and have really been enjoying the brightness in my living room. This projector excels in rooms where there is ambient light, even without an ALR/CLR screen. I am currently using it projecting onto a 135” grey screen and I have found the image more than acceptable.
The biggest selling points for me were:
1) Best in Class 0.16 throw ratio, allowing the projector to be right up against the wall - even with a very large image
2) Best in Class lag time of 17 msecs - very important for gaming responsiveness
3) Price - ranges from $3500-$3000 if you can find it on sale
4) Name brand - Epson supports its customers (see below)
My biggest issue with the projector is that it has an issue where it randomly turns itself on from stand- by. This is due to a conflict between the Wi-Fi controller and Android and Epson is working on a fix. When I contacted Epson about the issue, they provided me a free Android dongle as a work around which had the added benefit of Netflix support. I just turned off the Wi-Fi and no more issues with random starts.
Are there projectors with better contrast and darker blacks? Sure, but in a room with a window, you can’t take advantage of that except at night. All in all, I highly recommend both the projector and Epson. It is especially good for rooms where the projection surface is a wall. See the pictures below for an idea of the image quality.
The first 2 pictures below show the image quality onto a 135” grey screen with a 1.0 gain. The last 3 images show the image quality projected onto a white wall.
The last 3 show the ambient light level, and the projected image at the Epson’s lowest and highest output - projected onto a very wavy wall painted matte white.
