Thinking about purchasing this in place of an old Samsung projector. How would this projector function in a pub/bdubs environment for live sports?

I haven't got home from overseas to try it yet. I'm building a private drive-in movie theatre on my acreage and hoping it'll throw a good 324" picture.

Should work perfectly. I use this in my home cinema which would not be the size of a pub venue but I have used it externally and put it on a 130 inch display. Same results as my normal 92 inch display. The only issue you may encounter is if the room is too bright - the image is good but you may want to go with the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020 2D and 3D 1080p Home Theater Projector. It is a lot more expensive option but the image is going to be a lot better in brighter environments like a pub. (As amazon.com as a money back guarantee, maybe try the cheaper projector first to see if it works in your environment) Should work perfectly.

It is pretty darn amazing! It replaced my big screen and is now the center of every party. <3 this bad boy.

I think it would work well if you have a place to put it a straight shot to the screen. I have it 22 feet from the screen and it projects a 210" projection. I think it doesn't do too well with a lot of lighting. You can always try it and return it to Amazon if you're not satisfied. I'm very satisfied with it myself.

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

this might be too elementary, but can you use this projector to watch regular TV program? such as cable TV, or Dish TV?Thanks in advance.

This projector works just fine for me and is bright enough. For a golf simulator, I am not sure it would be as bright as I might like as a golfer but I found the InFocus is plenty bright enough for presentations, etc.

That is exactly what we use it for, as well as boxing and football games! It's so much fun! Sadly, at only 2000 lumens, it does require darkness. Set-up happens @dusk and shows start after dark(looking forward to changing back to standard time...summer movies start quite late! Next projector I buy will be 3000+ lumens for that reason. It does work wonderfully though, friends are always impressed. One thing to note, sound it a bit lacking so we hook up our Bose Sound Dock for booming sound using "audio out" (RCA cable with headset plug on other end).Hope that's helpful.

If you're using this for a business purpose, I would recommend a projector with more lumens. This is a great projector for personal/entertainment use.

It's not a bad unit for its price range. I had it hooked up to a projector and it worked very well. The features and functions on this unit were above average in my opinion.

Nice to meet you. The mini port to HDMI actually worked well for me...I only use for my projector but it gets the job done well. No problems at all thus far. Hope this helps.

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!

I have not noticed any blur or screen issues on fast moving / sport scenes. I'm ery pelased and happy with the projector performance.

I use it to project photos on the wall for tracing (I am an artist). I darken my room and have no problems with the display. Sorry, but I do not use it for gaming or movies.

My Projector has been playing music Videos in HD, every Fri & Sat for over a year and it looks awesome, I do not think you will have any problems with a work presentation if it can play the videos in such high quality

BeckBeck,I bought the projector for outside the home use, but still indoors. I use it for video presentations in connection with my religious faith. I am a traveling minister, and I set the projector up in a different auditorium each week. I can plug into the existing sound system with an audio converter, or I can play the projector with sound from the projector only. It has wonderful sound with a long range of projection. So, it's fantastic for what I use it for. I can show video files or a DVD (wish it was a blu-ray player) in full light. But, it's a much better picture with the lights out. It's doesn't have to be pitch black. But, "lights out" helps the picture quality. - I hope these comments help. BeckBeck,I bought the projector for outside the home use, but still indoors.

Yes, I did use this to see the super bowl and it was good. It has very short throw, so you will get big picture in a small distance. I wish it was 1080P.

I think the 3D is great, I also have 55 Samsung and the projector blows it away as far as 3D goes. You will not be disappointed. I'm viewing on a 106 inch screen.

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'm not a huge gamer, but I've played games like GTA V and COD. I notice no lag at all when using either 2D or 3D modes. In fact, the games look and feel great. I had to change some settings and modes on the projector to get the colors/darkness settings right. Once I did, games and movies all look simply fantastic.
