EPSON 2022 New Upgrade Home Cinema 2350 4K PRO-UHD Smart Gaming Projector with Android TV, 3-Chip 3LCD, HDR10, HLG, 2,800 Lumens, Low Latency, 10 W Speaker, Bluetooth, Streaming Capability

The epson 2350 is their newer model. A bit pricey @ $1299. I installed this projector as a ceiling mount 12' from my screen (elite 1.1 gain screen). I also calibrated this projector (using i1 pro meter + HCFR calibrating software). The settings I used when calibrating (Color mode - Natural, Lamp mode - Standard). Once calibrated, you can expect lumens/brightness levels to decrease by about 25% from the published epson specs. It just work this way-out of the box, without calibration, these projectors are setup to be much brighter. Regardless, this projector after calibration was outstanding - I installed this projector as a ceiling mount 12' from the screen (used projector zoom to set and show a 110" diagonal picture). If you increase the zoom (to show a larger picture) brightness will naturally decrease.Here are the results (after calibration).Brightness Level - 33 foot lamberts (1450 lumens) - this is as good or better than the epson 3800.Color Accuracy - Using HCFR color checker. I measured a delta E of <2.5 (anything less than 3.0 is considered very good).Gamma - I calibrated to a 2.25 gamma. I used the custom gamma adjustment. Accurate & very good.HDR - this is the only minor weak, works and looks ok but not like high end projectors. Set to 5 or 6.4K enhancement - does a good job upscalling your 1080p input. Quite a sharp image. Work well.As a side note, out of the box (without calibration) this projector looked pretty good - using and setting lamp to standard and color mode to natural. Bottom line - very bright and color accuate. I do not use for gaming. This projector is used for watching movies, sports or when setup to use my golf simulator. Hope this helps.

I replaced my Sony AW10 that was top of the line at the time of purchase. This Epson is about 2.5 brighter and a step up in resolution. The other deciding factor is its “throw” capability - it fits my media room screen from over 15 feet back. Most projectors I see in this price range are “short throw” I can have my window blinds open in the middle of the day and still have a great picture that is on a 105” screen with great clarity, contrast and motion. This would be a good selection for gaming as well - I use it for TV and movies.Downsides: Its about twice as loud ( fan) as my old projector but its ok because i have a big surround sound system.It always starts up on its home screen, Google and other apps. I dont ever use them because i connect through a Denon amp and use an Apple TV - so I have to switch over to HDMI output every time i start up.Overall, I'm very happy with it. Great value for the price.Update: I did a little research and cured the issue above with the home screen. You can remove the Google module that is attached under the removable cover plate. I plugged my HDMI cable to that connection and the projector starts with my home system...the Apple TV...instead of the Google app home screen. Presto!

I've had this for about 2 years, and the picture quality is great. My biggest complaint was that it has 2 remotes with slightly different layouts, and do different things, and the overall experience with the implementation of google tv is not great.Remote 1: Powers tv on and off, power button is top left of arrows, controls the projectors volumeRemote 2: Does not power on projector, back button is top left of arrows, so you accidentally turn off the TV sometimes if you're not looking at what you have in your hand, and it controls the volume of the softwarethe google tv potion is actually just a google tv stick stuck in the side of the projector and is removable. If you replace it with a roku stick, the roku remote will power on and off the projector and control the volume, and it is a faster/better interface. Now i have a single remote that does everything, and has a much better layout for using in the darkI wish i added the roku stick years ago.

I needed a projector to pull out from time to time to play a video or video game on the wall when company is over (our dedicated TV is in a bedroom). In deciding between this and an equivalent Optima, I preferred the Optima for having potentially better picture quality, more inputs and output connections… but ultimately trusted Epson as a brand from a few other Epson products I have. So far I’m pretty happy.Pros:>Good bright picture>AndroidTV (so I can play shows directly from the projector without a separate device)>Quiet operationCons:>remote not super intuitive (the square+arrow button is how to get to your hdmi input)>having to set up androidTV/google play and trying to get the google home app to work as a remote>picture is a bit red/orange and there’s no color settings you can mess withIf I were doing a permanent installation in a theater room, I’d get something a bit more high quality in picture with better connectivity (like optical audio out… this only has a small 3.5mm stereo, i.e. headphone, output), but as something to store in a closet and pull out from time to time, it fits the bill and I have piece of mind knowing as an Epson it’s not about to just randomly break or blow up on me.

Nice in product it’s a little difficult to hook up to electronics that are outdated but works great mounted easily to the ceiling.

I purchased an Epson Home cinema projector in October 2023 for Christmas. I had it professionally installed in January. About a month later a problem occurred with the sound not working on the apps. I called Epson and was told I just had to reset my projector, this worked for a couple of weeks I had to call back again they told me to reset it again. This again worked for a couple of weeks. I had to call again and this time spoke to a supervisor who sent me a new android stick and I had to install it. Again, we have the same problems i call them back for 7th time and they say they will send a refurbished unit instead of a new one.Absolutely horrific time dealing with Epson. Will clearly not be recommended. I also have to pay to have it uninstalled and installed again.
