Ornella, I am using my wall and no screen. It is an off white paint that was on wall and the picture quality especially HD is amazing for a projector of this price. My friends are amazed. Good luck and if you have any more questions be happy to give you my experience. John

We actually don't use a screen. We painted a section of our wall with a base white, and view the projector on there. It looks as if it shows better than on a screen.

No But...The next step up the EX6220 for 40$ more is 720p HD widescreen and compared to the 1080p 57" plasma I have in the bedroom we find our selves saying who cares about 1080p. The epson 6220 truly puts out an amazing picture. Foot ball games are incredible. You won't be disappointed I still have to say out loud this picture is awesome and I've logged over 150 hours on it.

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i... » Read More mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you « Show Less

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

I really like my screen. Easy to mount easy to build. That projector is nice. I decided on the epson 5030 because it is LCD and not DLP. If you have DLP you will get a rainbow effect on fast action shots. Id also recommend this mount. It is the best out there hands down. No fiddling with screws and tightening your monitor into place.

No experience with the Epson. But I really like my Brother. Sorry, not much help.

The HD20 id a great projector still, but the HD25e further improves the 2D image and has longer lamp life, and much higher contrast ratio for better blacks, etc. Then it also has full HD 3D bulit in as well. So if you can afford it go for the HD25e if not then the HD20 will still likely make you very happy as it has a great 2D image even today.

Can anyone confirm. How does this XGA (DVD) resolution projector hold up as as inexpensive home theater projector?.. Good refresh rate?.. How big can the image get before pixelating?..

I have an epson powerlite and this screen is totally amazing, it is even good in ambient light, top notch product and fast t/a!

Whoops I forgot 1 thing. The newer Epson 85HD is a nice projector, it has a 3000:1 Contrast Ration (the MM72 only has 1000:1) and the 85HD has 2500 Lumens, compared to the MM72 1200, BUT the 85HD has zero vertical or horizontal Lens Shift. Meaning that it has to be placed pretty much right in front and at the right height of the screen. This may be a non issue with some, but for me it was the deciding factor in my getting the MM72 over the newer 85HD. Also, the 85HD only has 2 built in speakers, where the MM72 has 4! Just somethings to consider when looking at these.

I am sorry you are having problems. I also ordered this projector, but promptly sent it back as I was dissatisfied with it. I recommend you do the same. I ordered a different model and am very happy with it. I use it for Keynote presentations as well as showing movies. I could never have done that with this model you have. I then ordered the Optoma W303, yes, more expensive, but IMHO well worth it. As they say, "you get what you pay for, if you don't pay much, you don't get much".

If you want high contrast between white and black, then a grey screen is better than a white screen. With high contrast it is easier to see fine detail. The other consideration is where the audience is sitting relative to the screen. If the audience is centered on the screen then a screen that reflects most of the light back to the center of the room is preferable to one that scatters the light over a wide angle. All of this assumes that you have a reasonably high intensity projector, say 2-3 thousand lumens. It also depends on the size of the room, etc,

I would avoid the best priced bulb in favor of an epson brand bulb from the website (for this projector). I have been using projectors (and replacing bulbs accordingly) for years and an inferior bulb will have a horrible output, which will cause a clear loss of quality and contrast. Also buying from anyone other than the manufacturer could get you a knock off. Sorry I did not source a link for you here, but that is my experienced advice.

You will need to buy the Epson glasses or a compatible type they list. They are not the same as the glasses you use at the movie theater. I have Sony glasses as well but they would not connect to Epson projector. The 3d is very good for the price of the projector. I was impressed and I also have a 60inch 3d Sony TV.

There a couple of clear differences between these to projectors. If you are going to buy either the Optoma GT720 or the Optoma HD66 which are the two I prefer you have to choose based on features. First of all, they are both 720p which means you will get a pretty good image (if you want the best bang for the buck pay a little more and get the Optoma HD20 which has the best picture quality since its 1080p). The Optoma GT720 has no zoom lens which means if you are going to mount it on the ceiling you have to measure the exact distance from the screen. It also has a short throw lens which means you can get a 100 inch screen with 4 or 5 feat of distance. Finally, it has a 16:10 aspect ratio which means it is more for gaming and less for movies but there is a minimal difference in the picture size and the bulb on the GT720 in economy mode is rated 5000 hours. The Optoma HD66 is rated on to 4000 hours, has a 16:9 aspect ratio which is better for watching movies (with the black border), has a throw range of 10-11 feet for a 100 inch screen, and finally does have a zoom feature which lets you calibrate the distance with the zoom.

Dear Family Guy, The Epson 5020UB Projector runs in 2D at 240 frames per second. This is very fast and you should not be able to see any stutter or motion blur while watching sports. The only time this may happen is if the cable or satellite feed has a hiccup. Thanks so much!
