5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent all in one projector, November 26, 2010

By 

Samuel B. Backus - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Epson V11H412020 85HD MovieMate, Black (Electronics)

I was hesitant to buy this projector, as there are not many reviews out yet, but its predecessor, the moviemate 72 had wonderful reviews so I gave it a shot. I am very glad I did, this projector does everything I want it to. It will play DVD's in pretty much any format (including AVI), projects well onto my apartment wall, and the built in speakers are decent, though obviously not spectacular.

The only caveat I have is that there is no lens shift built in, which means the projector needs to be pointing straight at the surface it is projecting on. It does allow you to adjust keystone, which means if you are projecting up or down, it maintains a rectangular image, and has a manual focus and zoom. It is not well suited for use as a home theater projector, as it only has 1 hdmi input, 1 component input, and a VGA input, but I suppose if you are building a home theater you will likely have a stereo receiver regardless, which can handle the cable switching needs.

I am very impressed with the brightness, when on full I can use it during the day(with the blinds closed, though some light does come in), and at night it is easy to shift it to "eco" mode, which is supposed to save bulb life. The main benefit I see or actually hear, is the decrease in fan noise. On high brightness, the noise can be a little distracting, but it is by no means overpowering, and with lower brightness it is hard to hear at all.

The projector is very portable, coming with a built in handle and a carry case, I have already brought it over to a few friends houses with ease.

I should mention, this is the only projector I have ever owned, so my opinion should not be given too much weight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Epson 85HD Movie Mate Rocks, May 2, 2011

This review is from: Epson V11H412020 85HD MovieMate, Black (Electronics)

The Epson Movie mate is easy to set up for movie nights in our backyard or for a neighborhood party. The picture is phonomenal and we actually need a bigger screen to take advantage of the quality( we have a 220" grey portable outdoor screen). The only drawback is that it does not have digital optical output for the sound and most of the newer soundbar equipment requires this. You can buy a co-ax to digital converter, but It would be great if it already had it...I can't wait to use it all summer.

I bought the Epson Moviemate 85 HD recently. I also bought an Epson screen along with it. This is a wonderful family entertainment product. The bulb has amazing brightness and the 10w speakers very good. It gives the cinema effect. We have watching movies in clear HD and the kids just love it! The speakers are adequate, for a complete effect, might need to attach external speakers. The DVD player is integrated. It is compact, and very easy to use. It has adequate flexibility in terms of HDMI etc. The screen is also well made and provides true colors to the movies we watch. I recommend this product with five stars.
