Should i buy this or the Epson 2030? using as a movie theater projector

buy the 8350 if you want a movie theater projector .......as in most things you get what you pay for...the key word on the 2030 is that it "supports" 16:9 that is not really HD I have the 8350 and it is great with a 100" fixed ELITE screen .....you will be very happy.....keep in mind if you do get this mount it high and in back of the room.....and look up the setting for the fan setting called "Mountain" fan is a bit louder but the bulb will last 3 times as long....i cant even hear it when in use

8350 is much better - but I'd save your money and get the 5030ub - the ultra back makes the picture pop and I swapped my 8350 for the 5030ub and made the viewing experience 100% better. Spend a little extra - you get what you pay for.

Definitely! When I first use this projector at a national conference, the group before me commented on how much nicer my projector was from the one their school had provided for them. Great image projection even in a large room. Very pleased with this selection.

Yes... You'll need a projector as well. Epsom makes the best projectors from my experience.

I am not familiar with that projector. I am carrying an Epson VS220 and it is overly big for that model, but secures it well. Maybe if you compare the size of the two inits, I can give you a better answer.

Dear 'Saiko,' I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean. I do not have a web site. However, if you are referring to my review of the PT-AE4000U, then I hope it was of some help to you. It is very wordy and I apologize for that but, on the other hand, this is a very complex piece of electronics and it does take a fairly long time to learn. I tried to convey that. (Though it can be used fully satisfactorily right out of the box, most people will want to learn to 'tweak' its settings, something which is very rewarding.) After over a year, I am still completely satisfied with my projector and I stand behind everything I said in the review. So far it seems that no one has come out with a projector comparable to the PT-AE4000U in terms of performance, price, power adjustments for focus, etc., and the options for users to adjust the picture/lens settings, including the ones which are normally hidden. Even Panasonic has not introduced a "new, improved" model as this one is, in my opinion (and evidently theirs too), a superb video projector and is unlikely to be matched, much less improved, anywhere near its price by another one any time soon. Thank you for writing (even if the meaning of what you wrote is obscure, at least to me). Lawrence

Dear Sir I'm sorry I can't answer for your question precisely as I am in Korea now while the projector is in my house in the US But I could answer it correctly when I get home in late Feb if you'd still want Or you could go to Amazon.com - Epson projector - specification then you might find some information regarding the projection distance. Good Luck and a Wish you happy new year

I've never used the projector over it's maximum distance, but it has worked very well in medium sized conference or meeting rooms. It is bright enough that the room need not be totally darkened. Low lighting in the room still allows for a clear picture on the screen.

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. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TXNS6G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

1 I have since sent back glasses and my PT-AE-8000u Projector and switched to the Epson 6020 do to Panasonic"s poor customer service and flat out bad warranty. epson cost about $400 more but came with mount, extra bulb, 2 pair 3d glasses and the best warranty of any projector picture quality is the same as the Panasonic, but does have better black's

the software support for these ex models is not supported very good on newer OP systems for some stupid reason. There is no good way to have wifi with epson software. The best way to do it would be to purchase usb wifi video transmitter separately or wait for epson to get with the times. But I still recommend the machine. It is amazing I've had it in my living room since November of 2013 and it is awesome we watch it at least 30 hours a week and the picture is still bright and brilliant. Wifi video is still kind of a gimmick because it takes far to much space to transmit. True HD takes a tremendous amount of bandwidth. Your best picture will still need to come through a wire especially when you start getting into 4k.

Biltz, I was so disapointed with Epson, that I will never buy a epson product again. they do not stand behind their product!.. I replace it with a Vivitek H1180HD bougth at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Vivitek-H1180HD-Blu-Ray-Theater-Projector/dp/B00FJ1Q5SQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid;=1421444429&sr;=8-12&k;eywords=vivitek+projector&pebp;=1421444439818&peasin;=B00FJ1Q5SQ). Same or better specs as far screen size , throw, distance, etc.. with much more vivid colors and 3D capabilities.. Price about the same... I am very happy with the Vivtek.

No idea to be honest. I have the Samsung 50 inch Smart TV (LED) and they work just fine. No idea what an epson 2030 3d projector is. Sorry, but I'm not that tech savvy. I just turn the TV on and it works.

Yes, I'm sure you'll be very happy with the results! This is an excellent projector, only issue might be that the focus and shift are done manually. So you'll have to leave your ladder up to do the final setup,

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.

Hello Gary; Sorry I can't help you with the comparison between the HD33 and the Epson 5030UB. I have a Optoma GT700 3D and purchased the Epson 5030UB in December. It has great color, clarity and brightness. I use my as a portable for playing mainly blurays. One nice feature is the zoom. Once I get the picture within the area of the screen I can use the zoom to square it in to the frame. The reviews I read convinced me to wait until this projector was available. Hope this helps.

This was bought for our Volunteer Fire Department training. We use it hard wired and the image is as good as the PC screen it projects. We have three Epson projectors at our church more expensive than this one that work well with any input. We have no complaints with this model but have not used it extensively.

The projector at 10 ft would throw a very large display probably 110" the problem these projectors have with text is that they use a diamond pixel instead of a square pixel so the edges of text can be fuzzy. If you are using this in a presentation or business environment it will not be bright enough with any light of any magnitude. An open window will wash out colors and contrast. Go with the ml500 (same diamond pixel problem but brighter) or choose a laser / led hybrid with a different dlp chip. I'm not saying this isn't a good projector for its purpose (portability) but if text is your first consideration and portability comes in at a five or six in the list then this isn't the right one for you.
