 Best value online for a HT projector, that I have recently found. June 25, 2010
Stanley M. Leaf (South Central Kansas)
This is my third home projector in seven years. I purchased this one because my last projector was a 720p and it could not project a blu-ray image because of the dvi connection and HDCP issues. I paid around $600 for my Hitachi PJ-100TX about three years ago. I purchased this factory refurbished PJ for $499 from an online company. I had two Epson Movie Mates (WVGA projectors)that I purchased for my daughter. They each threw a great picture.
This is designed to be a multi-media device but performs well as a home theater projector. In setting this up I was mostly concerned about offset. My 98" diagonal screen starts three inches from the ceiling and the center of the lens of the mounted projector is about five inches from the ceiling with about a three inch downward offset. So with the lens where it is, the screen should be five inches lower than it is for the lens to throw a perfect rectangle with a perpendicular angle. On the old machine I had lens shift which is routinely found in the MovieMate models and more expensive Epson projectors but this machiine does not have it. Since, I didn't want to lower my built in screen, I needed to have keystoning correction. Keystone correction is automatic and it fits the screen perfectly with some tweeking of the mount. Keystone correction according to the gurus causes distortion particularly with text. While I am a somewhat sophisticated video hardware buff, I do not perceive any issues with distortion.
The big difference between the two HD projectors was that of brightness. My old projector seemed dark at times even in our darkened basement with 1200 lumens. This throws a very bright 2000 lumens, estheticly pleasing image. Watching Avatar with its aerial scenes is a real treat. I cannot imagine even a DLP or 1080 projector doing much better, certainly not for the price. This is a little secret that Epson does not shout about because it wants to sell its more expensive projectors. The 720p is very high resolution and has a very clear picture. There is no obvious screendoor effect.
If you are not real fussy, that is needing a 1080p, or brighter projector, this will work well for you. It appears that there was only one review on this site of this projector that was below a 4. If anyone reads that review and has experienced a good working EX70, I would guess that they would tell you that the machine was obviously defective and only needed to be replaced.

I am delighted overall with the projector; it is very easy to set up and use, and I especially like being able to plug in a "thumb" drive to show my presentations without having to set up the computer as well. The only downside (and that may be because I'm still learning to use it) is the out-of-sync with the audio and video from a DVD showing. I bought a separate y-audio cable and that helps when using the projector speakers but voice deliveries still are not sync'd enough to eliminate that annoyance. Also, there are minute hesitations from time to time--again may be operator error or some problem in my computer. Looking forward to getting better acquainted with the projector and thus more experienced in its use.

The projector works as stated and has worked well in presentations for workshops. The features work for me and work well with my teaching style.

This is the second time to buy an Epson EX70 projector. First time I purchased it for my church, and I bought it again for myself. It supports 1280x768 / 1280x800 wide screen which is mostly used in the laptop these days, and also it is a very good screen ratio for watching movies. I personally like to watch the movie with projector at home; that's why I bought EX70. I searched over 20 models from each company, and EX70 was the best above all at this price ($600~$700) since I don't want 1024x768 / 800x600 resolution. I need at least 1280x800.
If you want more than 1280x800, that's a different story. The price will go up to $1000 or more. In my opinion, if you want to use it at home, 1280x800 is absolutely enough. EX70 also has a 1.2x Zoom function, so even though you have a very limited length to shoot projectors, you'll get a big screen. Moreover, this is not a LED/LCD TV. This is a projector. There's not much difference between 1080p projectors and 720p projectors in details if you're not a professional.
In addition, it supports HDMI 720p, and USB display which let you be able to play multimedia files without computer.
All in all, I still think that my choice was the best, and never regret.
