5 out of 5 stars Why Buy a Big TV?   January 6, 2009

The Epson Movie Mate is a tremendous product. Instead of purchasing a large screen LCD or plasma television, I opted to go this route. Let's face it - these days, everything is online. Hook your laptop right up to this bad boy and grab your instant play Netflix or check out the latest offerings on Hulu. It's absolutely amazing! The contrast ratio on this puppy is only 1:300 but it's all you need. Consider that a commercial theatre is usually just 1:150 - why would you need 1:1000????


5 out of 5 stars So far, so good   December 5, 2008

I got this projector about a week ago and here's what I can say so far
1. The Model 55 is very easy to set up. The Quick Start user's guide is very good and it took me about a minute after I got it out of the well-cushioned package to show a movie on DVD.
2. Everything, including the PC and TV inputs, worked flawlessly.
3. The device is very portable with carrying handles built in
4. Controls on the remote are predictable and logical. I spent little time referring to the user's guide.
5. The video quality is quite good and almost up to TV LCD quality
6. Having stereo loudspeakers in the unit works very well and makes the system very portable. Sound quality is reasonably good.
It's too early to tell about reliability, but right now it looks like Epson has a hit on its hands. It's priced right and easy to use.


5 out of 5 stars Portable, Easy to Use, Quality Picture and Color   June 16, 2009

I purchased this machine for the sole use of using it outside for "drive in" movie nights. So far I've used it for so much more. Yes, we have had one night without rain and were able to use it. We had a backyard of very happy teenagers watching scary movies until the wee hours of the morning. Then, we played Wii on it and just for giggles, I hooked it up to my laptop to see what viewing pleasure could be found on that. AMAZING. This is the EASIEST projector I have ever used. The sound quality is incredible. Picture is terrific and the FUN is absolutely priceless. I also purchased a blow up screen for outdoor use and a pull down screen for inside making it a very versatile item. My entire family is enjoying this projector. I've only had this item for a few weeks, but so far everything about it is perfect! For me, this is best item I have purchased in a very long time.


5 out of 5 stars Great little machine great big picture!   May 17, 2009

We bought this in a panic to show a video presentation at a banquet after the school projector was found to be too problematic.

Fingers crossed, we set this Epson Movie Mate 55 up in front of a 110 inch screen of white photo background paper, plugged in a computer speaker set with sub woofer, turned it on and stuck in a DVD. WOW! It was awesome. From 100 feet away the picture was bright, clear and just stunning. The sound was awesome as well.

This player performed flawlessly! The DVD player makes it all worth the not too expensive price! Banquet saved.

My husband plans on using this to view music video DVDs outside in the summer time on the 110 inch screen. He thinks the picture is better than our big screen TV. And its way more portable.

Pros: compact, light, has sound, good video, no computer needed, good remote control, good settings for different lighting situations, great picture. Quiet Cons: none so far.

Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Very practical and affordable   July 2, 2009

I purchased this item for a client to be used in a kids'bunkroom, using it with the Epson Duet screen. Works great! Will also be ordering another one for a client for outdoor "movie night" Have to be careful as to placement in room though and consider distance to screen and where to place the projector. Client loves it. Wasn't too pleased with Amazon's delivery. I was supposed to have gotten free 2 day Prime shipping, but didn't. I wound up paying for the 2 day shipping and it took longer than 2 days. Emailed Amazon about this, first response was not helpful. Emailed again with all information and there was no reply. A little disappointed in customer service.
