Quieter and cooler then a DLP, but not quite as sharp. Decent image, and so simple, my wife can operate it. Good compromise in a single box.
A couple times we moved the furniture and had ourselves an 18' (diagonal) screen-great for watching King Kong. The image is sharp and clear and the sound is more than adequate for watching movies from our couch. For about $1000-$1200, The Epson Movemate 25 allows you to create your own home theater. You won't have "surround-sound" but the accompanying sub-woofer is enought to give a little extra "punch" especially during battle scenes, etc. Combined with Netflix its a lot cheaper than movie theaters. I've used mine for about 2 years now, projecting onto my wall to create a 10' screen. Once you try it, you'll never again waste your time watching a movie on a TV set.
The sound and picture quality is fantastic and the kids love laying on the floor with the pillows for our family nights. The teenagers love it because we have PS2 hooked up and there are many Guitar Heroe/DDR competitions in life size format.easy easy easy set up. In our opinion its much better than expensive plasma tvs.and an easy self fixing bulb can be replaced when needed.Try that with a Tv.as soon as you buy it the repair man will tell you to toss when it goes.too expensive to fix. Bought this for Xmas for the "kids". Had to redo the basement/kids playroom due to plumbing problem.best unfortunate mishap we ever had.We decided to go from playroom to media room and its is fantastic.The Moviemate sits on a coffee table and we project to the back basement wall which we painted white. Next is a blow up movie screen (199.000) for outdoor movies.the biggest kids is gonna love that for Father Day.
It really is like having your own theater at home.We also hooked up my sons Playstation 2. After weeks of reviewing websites about projectors, I decided to give this one a shot. Its the only projector I've seen with this feature and I don't know why. I never have to go to the movies again.
It really comes in handy to center the picture where you want it.I recommend this product for anyone looking for a projector. That war scene in the harbor with the Moviemate connected via optical cable to my surround sound, gave me goosebumps.
I don't even notice it unless I'm trying to see it. That is pretty cool, too.
The speaker sound w/ the subwoofer is pretty good, too.All of the other features and the remote I like, also.I have my Moviemate about 12 feet from the screen to fill the 92 inch diagnal screen.Oh, the adjustable lens is so cool. I got mine refurbished.
The first movie I played in it was Pearl Harbor. I bought a 92 inch screen and the picture looks awesome.
I was a little worried about the so-called "screen door effect" that many had mentioned (due to the lower resolution), but that is not a big deal to me for the price range. For a few hundred more dollars, you can get one with a higher resolution so the picture is "crystal" clear, but you'll be lacking a lot of the other cool features.
Ideally, it would be 48"X74". Very simple to set up with your other equipment. I have only had the Moviemate for a few days, but I am impressed. If anyone has any suggestions for creating this screen, please e-mail me. The screen is great also.
I am planning to install a permanent screen on the brick wall of my family room. This allows you to use your audio system, which in my case provides complete surround sound. I bought the Moviemate because I wanted a large screen for movies and watching sports, but did not want a bulky and expensive television set. I have also hooked it up to my HDTV Cable Box using the S-Video connection. You cannot beat the price for what you get.
You can use the built in DVD Player, or you can hook it up to another DVD Player. [.].
