Most fabric stores carry blackout fabric and it does improve the picture. I highly recommend it. Simple and easy projector with a beautiful picture. I made my own movie screen out of blackout fabric. You may want to add speakers as well the sound is a bit faint.
My daughter uses it for trade shows when she travels.very easy carry on. Also hooked up wireless speakers a few times as well as the X-box.after seeing how well mine works and how easy it is, my brother-in-law ran out and purchased 2 for gifts. I love this product. I used it in conjunction with a 12' diagonal inflatable screen for outdoor movies during the summer. can't say enough great thins about it.
The remote allows more fine tuning than the buttons on the unit (zoom, picture aspect, color settings, etc), so definitely don't lose the remote. I did buy this projector for outdoor movies, not for indoor watching. Even the Epson store doesn't carry them. I like that you can manually zoom the picture in or out without having to movie the projector itself.
You plug it in, insert a DVD, and pretty much go from there. I wanted a projector unit that would play DVDs because I didn't want to have to drag too many components outside every time we watched a movie. I also haven't seen them in stores. I'm not that picky.The sound that comes out of the 2 side speakers is actually pretty impressive. In the box = projector, dust case, power cord.
It's enough that we don't need to add speakers if there's just a small group watching a movie. Depending on your use, the built-in speakers may be adequate.It's extremely easy to set up.
That's it. I think anything that plugs into a tv with video/audio inputs can be plugged into the Epson.
I don't know why this unit is out of stock everywhere. If you can find it, this little Epson is a good machine.
However, when we brought it out for a bbq, we did plug in computer speakers (through the headphone jack) for a more projected sound. If you're looking for an indoor projector, I think you could have a better setup with a ceiling-mounted projector and regular video inputs and surround sound.I opted for the non-HD projector because I didn't think it was worth all the extra money.
Having said that, the picture that is projected is very clear and nice, so if you're able to tell the difference between a regular DVD and an HD-picture, you may be able to tell the difference with the projectors as well. I had an order in with Amazon for one, but after 3 weeks I hadn't gotten any shipping notice, so I cancelled it and went searching for another online vendor.
In the meantime we have set up a theater room in the family room in our basement. We painted a white screen on the wall. I ordered the projector to use for camping. The picture is very good we are enjoying older movies again and watching new ones is even more exciting. It was very easy to set up and run. We think showing big movies around the campfire will be great fun this summer. My husband even hooked up our surround sound to it.
