@@jews_out_of_PALESTINE not sure. I’m sure it could be perfect. The bulb is LCD and has 3000 hours or use I believe. Maybe more. Anyway, the more you use, the sooner you’d need to change the bulb, but that should be easy. I only watch the occasional movie and some TV from time to time, so should last a few years
AMAZING JOB! I have pretty much have the same setup in my basement. What I love about projectors is that you can buy a 1080p high quality projector under $500 and still get a bigger screen size with it (ex. 100"-150") than you would spending $2K and still only getting maybe a 80inch TV screen.
Very true. People that spend more than $1-2k on these systems are nuts. You get a lot of bang for your buck with a $500 projector. Planning to finish my basement and just use a wall a the screen. Painted grey. Or whatever color works there.
Excellent video all round that, I've said this many times in Home Cinema forums, you don't need thousands to have an amazing home cinema, you've proven that right here, 135" screen, cosy home feel set up, very clever incorporating and basically hiding the screen in the window, and contentment with your speaker system, demonstrates just how good a system can be if you chose carefully and the enjoyment you can have, I'd just watched a video titled 20,000 dollar projector, 10,000 dollar screen, and really there was no difference, albeit the 29,000 dollars! I usually use headphones on my set up as not to disturb family or neighbours, you sound so enthusiastic and I can't blame you, this really is one of the best home cinema videos I've seen, yes there's some impressive dedicated set ups shown on RUclips but in the real world not everyone has a room to dedicate, nor sound proofing or the money going into 4-5 figures. I hope do some more demos in future, I'd like to see a movie clip in 2.35.1 or so just to see what that looks like on your size screen my friend. Beautiful garden too by the way, best regards from the UK, and we'll done, keep enjoying your set up 👍👍👍
Thanks so much for the note. Very nice and much appreciated. That’s literally my first ever video. Going to do a few more or bits around the house, vacation reviews and golf, as I’m a golf pro, albeit not playing too much anymore. You’ve said everything I was trying to achieve in making a simple video that makes sense and not expensive. Some people have spent $$$$$$ on systems that I don’t think are that much better. I love it. Thanks again to you in the UK 🇬🇧
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 thankyou for your reply, you certainly achieved your aim, like anything in want hobby etc, magazines and people like to say 'you need this and that at X amount' and people get into that mindset and believe they can't enjoy it without that equipment etc, it's not often you see a personal an opinion that differers and could be basically achieved by anyone to enjoy 👍 Well done on your first video, look forward to seeing more, it would be good updates on how happy you are with your home cinema set up as you go along. Golf pro, excellent, my photography work in the past involved a lot of work around golf scene, some beautiful courses in Northumberland, North East of England. Our lounge is 12x12ft and could get a150" screen which I'd love, but my wife would not agree, even here 133" I'd settle for, but looks like it will be a 120" fixed screen in a summerhouse I hope to build, but should get the same sort of feel as the internal dimensions would be 10x10ft, so I'd be 8.5 / 9ft viewing distance, I'm used to close viewing, with that I hope to set up my old Yamaha DSP 7 channel analogue amp from the mid 90's which I'm content with as it's a super sound. I currently use. 100" 4.3 Duronic floor screen, I get a 84" or 92" wide-screen image, usually use headphones and completely happy watching literally anything on there, occasionally if I'm alone and my neighbour is away can use a Yamaha Soundbar, YAS 107 I think it is, £200 few years old now but the first home Atmos speaker, and again content with one speaker though I've not really got to know that one too well yet, but impressed as it sounds like multiple speakers. Your right, so many systems on here that cost huge amounts, some look great but with experience, you really wonder why people use so much equipment, sometimes you can't see the screen for size and amount of speakers, must be a bit like Marty plugging in his guitar at the Doc's house 😁 Anyway, great talking with you, good luck with your channel, I'll subscribe and look out for future cinema updates 🙋🙋
lmao. There's a BIG difference between a $1k system and a $5k+ system. The Epson 880 doesn't have variable zoom, it's fixed 1.3x zoom, has a lower contrast ratio, no output trggers. The sound system is probably not Dolby atmos/DTS:X, with 9.2 channels+ for 4 atmos ceiling speakers, 2 identical sealed subwoofers. I hope you get the picture (and sound).... ;-)
@@mrpmj00 haha. I’m sure a $5k system would be better, but I bet not 5 times better. I’m a massive movie fan and love the big screen and to be honest, I was hesitant to start with using a cheaper system, but I borrowed a friends system and it looked great. My Bose sound system may not be a Dolby surround setup, but it’s darn good for what it is. For under $1k, it’s perfect!! And I have an extra $4k to buy lots of other things. Lmao.
I agree! You can have the immersion and experience for much less. It is a matter of financial survival though, to make you believe you have to have certain costly items to get the same experience. ( And there are individuals here on RUclips that help these merchants) And it is a situation of diminishing returns when spending more. You can add 2000 dollars more but you're not going to get the bang for the buck that you expected.
RBE is more of a DLP thing which occurs because of lower speed color wheels. RBE is dramatically reduced in current gen DLP with higher speed wheels and even more with RGBWx2 wheels and higher refresh rates. LCD should never cause RBE.
I don't understand (I mean, I do, lol) why people buy expensive big TVs over now great and affordable projectors. It's mostly because they are not fans of movies at all (and have zero sensitivity for visual), rather just follow a trend. Ridiculous amount of home theatres (setups, as people like to call them) are filled with huge speakers and small TVs. It's so nice to see (but really rare) someone who understand what's it all about.Great job man, enjoy films! Cheers!
Maybe because some people prioritize way better picture quality over size? Have you ever seen an OLED with pure blacks? Gotta know what you're giving up with your preference before the rant.
Appreciate the footage and review of it. I currently have the 2250 in the basement mounted but just ordered this one for outside movie nights. From everything I have seen so far it’s a sleeper. Highly undervalued.
You showed us what a home theater is and how to build it.i personally feel there are no universal yard sticks to build home theater rooms.it all depends on one's budjet.thanks brother for showing the path.
Nice budget setup!!! Clean and a big inmersion on movies or tv shows I just remembered when I started with a 480p projector and a pc speakers!!! I recommend to add a darbe dablet to improve picture quality you should find one cheap used!!

@@myveryeclecticlife8420 May you please give a tutorial how to hook up speaker w Amazon Firestick. When I go to the settings in Firestick, I don’t see anything under audio to link it w my Bluetooth speaker
How do you compare the 1080 vs 880? I am have many windows in the living room and I see that the 1080 is a little stronger. Is it worth the price difference?
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 sounds like be right call. I’m getting ready to install my new projector but my placement options are limited and the screen size and location are what they are. I’d like to get away with using as little zoom as possible. We’ll see.
Great review, bought one and it’s really good quality. How were you able to mirror from your ipad to the projector? On the manual, it shows specific screen mirror setttings, but I don’t see any on the projectors settings.
Hey buddy. I didn’t mirror image anything. If you link up an Apple TV through the HDMI on the projector, it’ll basically run like a TV. It’s awesome! Do you have an Apple TV? Or a Firestick? That’ll work too. I prefer Apple as it’s easier to use. Then go to the SETTINGS section on the Apple TV and go to the BLUETOOTH to link up whatever Bluetooth speaker you like. It’s super easy.
Hi there. I basically linked it with my Apple TV. Simple. Go to Apple TV settings and pair it with the speaker via Bluetooth. Then that’ll do it. Just need the Apple TV linked via HDMI into the projector.
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
I just got the 880 and it sits 9ft away from the wall. the quality doesn't seem great. What am i missing, because yours look incredible!! what can i do to improve the quality? I'm hooking it up to my laptop to hdmi
Hhhm. I’m not too sure. Mine is around 11-12ft away and straight on. Maybe it’s the laptop section. Is yours straight on or using keystoning from a side angle? I just simply put my Apple TV to the HDMI and done. That’s 4k. Maybe that’s the difference. What about your WiFi strength? I wish I could help. There is a focus on it too. Or maybe worth swapping it for another one, if it’s brand new? Did you buy it from Amazon / Best Buy? To be honest, I did a video to show to myself really that I could do a movie room way way cheaper than what the so called “pros” told me. They all told me it’d cost around $5-7k at least. Nooo way I said. I’m not too technical which is why I also liked this system. Let me know if you get it adjusted or sorted.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 thanks for the suggestions. I bought it from a local store brand new. It does sit straight. I will try to see the quality once I connect it to apple tv. Thank you :)
Contrast suffers in brightly lit picture due to the fact the the image lights up the whole room. Solution would be to somehow hang black or dark colored light absorbing curtains around the room. Also if you want a dedicated theater room paint the walls a dark color.
You mentioned you purchased a device so you would be able to Bluetooth your Bose speakers to your projector through your Bose app… would you please share what it was that you purchased
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 so to be clear you can send the sound through Bluetooth to the speaker so you have audio of a movie that your watching? I have a Sonos One that I would like to use. I would have to buy an Apple TV but if it works the way you say I would definitely go that direction. Thank you
@@CdotForbes13 100%. Just go to settings and then the “remotes and devices” section and add your Sonos. I just have the simple Bose and it’s amazing how good that one speaker is. Your Sonos should be amazing. Apple TV’s are the best! I used to use Amazon Firestick, but no where near as good as Apple.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 thank you so much. I wrote you asking a question but you answered it on the comment. Once again than you so much. Amazing video
It’s an Elite Screen bought from Amazon. $311 I believe and standard white screen. I’m actually creating another movie room using a painted wall too using Behr Silver Screen Matte paint. I’ll do a video on that too.
Just get an Apple TV (might as well get the 4K version) and you just plug the HDMI cable into the projector. Then you’re set. Obviously you’ll need to set up the Apple TV first with the house WiFi. You can watch all the apps you like then by downloading them to the Apple TV. Easy!! Enjoy
Most new Apple TV’s don’t need to be in the same room. They’re the best. I think the one I have in there is about 2 years old and a 4K version I believe. For sure the latest Apple TV models work from an adjacent room. I didn’t think it would either. Try from outside the room to see if yours is compatible. Worst case, a brand new 4K will work for sure. I got mine from Best Buy on a deal for $129. Bargain
Add an Apple TV ($100+) and this can be linked to a Bluetooth speaker. This just links up using the HDMI input. I think my 4K Apple TV was around $120 on sale from Best Buy. Usually around $149 I think. You can also use an Amazon Firestick which are way cheaper, but I prefer the Apple. No glitches. Any of these HDMI additions will give you the Bluetooth capability to use a speaker. Let me know how you get on. Apple is way better though. Also Apple works via the WiFi signal too to the remote will work even if the Apple box is in an adjacent room or tucked behind the TV
You can, albeit it’s best to try and get close to he right distance away to minimize the adjusting. In the case of this system I think it’s around 11-12ft. You could have it closer and adjust the zoom or a little farther away. It does adjust. I decided to buy it from Amazon so that I could test it out for clarity from certain distances. It works really well using the keystoning too, albeit that could make the one side get a little blurry. That’s why I went with a ceiling mount dead center. To be honest, for $549 (price matched - usually $599) and the pull down manual ES screen for just over $300, it’s awesome. I just use my Bose Bluetooth mini speaker which works way better than any TV too. Great to test anyway and if you don’t like it, or the dimensions don’t work for your room, you can send it back. I love it. I just wish I’d bought one years ago
It’s only a 1080p projector. I have the 4K Apple TV and it’s got a great picture, especially 4K content. But like I said, it’s only a 1080p - it’s good enough. WiFi strength is more important.
Bluetooth - just go to settings on your Apple TV and link up the Bluetooth speaker you choose. I had a Bose speaker as a gift, hence why I used this, but it’ll link up to any Bluetooth speaker system.
I don’t sorry. I bought this one as a friend had one. Just moved it to my downstairs basement cinema room and projecting on the wall. Will show a video
Hey brother, I have the epson 880 as well, sitting about 10/11ft from the wall and I’m only getting about 95-96 inches of screen being projected. How far is your projector from the wall and do you know of there is any setting you can do to stretch the image potentially?
How do you manage to perfectly align the image to the projector screen? Also, I want to use my blu ray surround sound system. If I plug in my speakers to the blu ray system will that work? So I won’t have to use the projector speakers.
Hhhmm. I guess it should work. Assuming you link the Blu-ray player through an HDMI? Unless the Blu-ray is Bluetooth? Then that should work too. I just used an Apple TV as that links to the WiFi and linked to the projector via the HDMI. Then easily bluetoothed to the speaker to the projector. Let me know if it works linking the Blu-ray and speakers via the HDMI
Maybe a faulty one. Send it back for another. One of the reasons why I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon so you can easily send it back. Best Buy are great too.
Hi. I’m sorry I didn’t add any links. I basically did the video to show myself and others that you don’t need to spend lots of money for a movie system. I was getting sick of people saying it’d cost around $5-7k for a cheap system. I thought they were crazy, hence why I hit what I got. And I wanted to show my family a video of my new movie room. Didn’t realize so many people would watch it. But hopefully I’ve opened some peoples minds to getting a cheap movie system. I’ll check out to see how I can add links at the bottom. Sorry. Have a great day 😀
Yes, definitely. I have the same projector with an XBOX one S, and a Switch connected to it. The projector only has one HDMI, but I use a Sony str-dh590 home theater receiver for the switching.
Hey thanks Matt. I just wanted to show people that you can make something look great for not too much money. The Best Buy consultants said I’d need to pay around $10-15k for a great system. Ahhh, no way!!! That’s why I wanted to do my first ever RUclips video to show people that you don’t need to spend much at all. Thanks for the message and have a great one. And stay safe too 😀
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 hi you did it it looks amazing really nocked it out the park I would buy that set up and alot3of other people would even in daylight it's watchable well done my friend great work 👍
i have a question, can this projector stretch image to fit on a 16:10 aspect ratio screen, can you please share the screen prompts where you select aspect ratio? Thanks
Hi. I believe it can. I’m not 100% but it’s can change size using all the functions .I just bought a 16:9 aspect screen for ease. But I’m sure it’ll get close worst case.
Haha. That’s funny. I just sent them a message saying that they’d stolen. Y content. What a loser. Thanks for the heads up. Mine isn’t anything special so not too sure why he stole it. 😂
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 Yes not special but already made. ^^ So since their purpose seem to send stuff they don't bother making their own video talking about the sutff they want to sell. And to complete your video is about 880 and their title is about 2100.

Then go to the SETTINGS section on the Apple TV and go to the BLUETOOTH to link up whatever Bluetooth speaker you like. It’s super easy.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 ohh makes sense. Will definitely try that, thanks!👍
Sooooooo beautiful🥰🥰🥰
pls share product links both projector and screen
im still trying to understand how you joined your projector to your sound system (speaker) ...does the 880 model have blutooth or wifi ?
Hi there. I basically linked it with my Apple TV. Simple. Go to Apple TV settings and pair it with the speaker via Bluetooth. Then that’ll do it. Just need the Apple TV linked via HDMI into the projector.
awesome video! may i ask if your bose revolve is series 1 or 2 ? thankyou
Hhhmm. I’m not too sure. Assuming 1 as it’s a few years old now. Works awesome though for the space I have.
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
NICE...LIKE IT
I'm still new to projector screens .how do you fix a projector looking to pixelated?
Nice video
I just got the 880 and it sits 9ft away from the wall. the quality doesn't seem great. What am i missing, because yours look incredible!! what can i do to improve the quality? I'm hooking it up to my laptop to hdmi
Hhhm. I’m not too sure. Mine is around 11-12ft away and straight on. Maybe it’s the laptop section. Is yours straight on or using keystoning from a side angle? I just simply put my Apple TV to the HDMI and done. That’s 4k. Maybe that’s the difference. What about your WiFi strength? I wish I could help. There is a focus on it too. Or maybe worth swapping it for another one, if it’s brand new? Did you buy it from Amazon / Best Buy? To be honest, I did a video to show to myself really that I could do a movie room way way cheaper than what the so called “pros” told me. They all told me it’d cost around $5-7k at least. Nooo way I said. I’m not too technical which is why I also liked this system.
Let me know if you get it adjusted or sorted.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 thanks for the suggestions. I bought it from a local store brand new. It does sit straight. I will try to see the quality once I connect it to apple tv. Thank you :)
Contrast suffers in brightly lit picture due to the fact the the image lights up the whole room. Solution would be to somehow hang black or dark colored light absorbing curtains around the room. Also if you want a dedicated theater room paint the walls a dark color.
You mentioned you purchased a device so you would be able to Bluetooth your Bose speakers to your projector through your Bose app… would you please share what it was that you purchased
It’s a Bose Soundlink Revolve. Great little speaker for the money. And links up through my Apple TV. Perfect!! Simple and does the job.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 so to be clear you can send the sound through Bluetooth to the speaker so you have audio of a movie that your watching? I have a Sonos One that I would like to use. I would have to buy an Apple TV but if it works the way you say I would definitely go that direction.
Thank you
@@CdotForbes13 100%. Just go to settings and then the “remotes and devices” section and add your Sonos. I just have the simple Bose and it’s amazing how good that one speaker is. Your Sonos should be amazing.
Apple TV’s are the best! I used to use Amazon Firestick, but no where near as good as Apple.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 thank you so much. I wrote you asking a question but you answered it on the comment. Once again than you so much. Amazing video
@@cruzgarcia3195 haha. Glad you sorted it out. Easy right? Have a good one and enjoy the movies…
What kind of material is the screen and brand name please
It’s an Elite Screen bought from Amazon. $311 I believe and standard white screen. I’m actually creating another movie room using a painted wall too using Behr Silver Screen Matte paint. I’ll do a video on that too.
Can you send a link to the mount you purchased plz and thank you
can you please shown any OTT content or movies played on projector
How did you connect the Bluetooth speaker to the epson 880 if it doesn’t for Bluetooth connection?
Bluetooth your speaker through your Apple TV. Easy! And it links perfectly
Apple TV has video over hdmi and audio over Bluetooth.
In real life, is Akey7 max brighter than epson or dell 3500lm projector?
Can we please have a link to the projector and screen, thanks
So do these projectors have hulu and netflix apps? Or is there something extra i have to do to watch those type of apps on there
Just get an Apple TV (might as well get the 4K version) and you just plug the HDMI cable into the projector. Then you’re set. Obviously you’ll need to set up the Apple TV first with the house WiFi. You can watch all the apps you like then by downloading them to the Apple TV. Easy!! Enjoy
How does the Apple TV have the ability to change channels if it’s located in the other room?
Most new Apple TV’s don’t need to be in the same room. They’re the best. I think the one I have in there is about 2 years old and a 4K version I believe. For sure the latest Apple TV models work from an adjacent room. I didn’t think it would either. Try from outside the room to see if yours is compatible. Worst case, a brand new 4K will work for sure. I got mine from Best Buy on a deal for $129. Bargain
Remote goes over wifi instead of Bluetooth
how do you connect to Audio. my Epson doesn't have Bluetooth audio connection..
Add an Apple TV ($100+) and this can be linked to a Bluetooth speaker. This just links up using the HDMI input. I think my 4K Apple TV was around $120 on sale from Best Buy. Usually around $149 I think. You can also use an Amazon Firestick which are way cheaper, but I prefer the Apple. No glitches. Any of these HDMI additions will give you the Bluetooth capability to use a speaker. Let me know how you get on. Apple is way better though. Also Apple works via the WiFi signal too to the remote will work even if the Apple box is in an adjacent room or tucked behind the TV
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 wow.. it worked well. I used fire stick.. Thank you .
Can you change the screen size without moving the projector?
You can, albeit it’s best to try and get close to he right distance away to minimize the adjusting. In the case of this system I think it’s around 11-12ft. You could have it closer and adjust the zoom or a little farther away. It does adjust.
I decided to buy it from Amazon so that I could test it out for clarity from certain distances. It works really well using the keystoning too, albeit that could make the one side get a little blurry. That’s why I went with a ceiling mount dead center.
To be honest, for $549 (price matched - usually $599) and the pull down manual ES screen for just over $300, it’s awesome. I just use my Bose Bluetooth mini speaker which works way better than any TV too. Great to test anyway and if you don’t like it, or the dimensions don’t work for your room, you can send it back. I love it. I just wish I’d bought one years ago
Can you post a link for the screen?
So this projector is compatible with a 4K Apple TV? I ordered a hd Apple TV😳😢
It’s only a 1080p projector. I have the 4K Apple TV and it’s got a great picture, especially 4K content. But like I said, it’s only a 1080p - it’s good enough. WiFi strength is more important.
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 thanks
what will happen if i use this projector as my daily monitor ?
How did you connect the Apple TV to the Bose system?
Bluetooth - just go to settings on your Apple TV and link up the Bluetooth speaker you choose. I had a Bose speaker as a gift, hence why I used this, but it’ll link up to any Bluetooth speaker system.
What screen is this? Is it ambient rejection or pure white screen? Can you provide model please? Thanks. Great setup btw 💪
Hey. It’s an Elite Screen (standard white) manual pull down from Amazon. I think it was like $311. 135” Love it
How can I get this in Malaysia...
Hello! How did you connect the speaker ?
I connected it through my Apple TV system. Go to the systems section and Bluetooth and pair up your speaker to the Apple TV. Done!!
How do you make the screen size smaller ? Just bought the same projector
Hey, cool setup! May you know which is the difference between 880 and 880X?
I don’t sorry. I bought this one as a friend had one. Just moved it to my downstairs basement cinema room and projecting on the wall. Will show a video
Cool, looking forward to it.
Hey brother,
I have the epson 880 as well, sitting about 10/11ft from the wall and I’m only getting about 95-96 inches of screen being projected.
How far is your projector from the wall and do you know of there is any setting you can do to stretch the image potentially?
Hhhmm. Let me check tomorrow I believe I’m around 11ft away.
How do you manage to perfectly align the image to the projector screen? Also, I want to use my blu ray surround sound system. If I plug in my speakers to the blu ray system will that work? So I won’t have to use the projector speakers.
Hhhmm. I guess it should work. Assuming you link the Blu-ray player through an HDMI? Unless the Blu-ray is Bluetooth? Then that should work too. I just used an Apple TV as that links to the WiFi and linked to the projector via the HDMI. Then easily bluetoothed to the speaker to the projector.
Let me know if it works linking the Blu-ray and speakers via the HDMI
it works for u with high qualify picture, but mine has an issue like when i turn on, only the fan work, the laser not working
Maybe a faulty one. Send it back for another. One of the reasons why I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon so you can easily send it back. Best Buy are great too.
Hi mate what screen do you have, this looks brilliant
It’s an Elite “manual pull down” screen from Amazon. Paid $311 I think. 135”. It’s perfect. No need to buy expensive screens. Amazon is so good
Ah thats why I can't find the 880 you from us?
what is hte model of the screen?
How far is the projector from the screen?
It’s around 11.5’ to 12’
can you please share the pull down screen's link?
Sorry I didn’t add the link. I just bought it from Amazon and mentioned it on the video. Great 135” screen though for $300.
How much power consumption?
Do you still have this system?
Yep! Going to another one too for my NEW room in the basement. Thinking of trying a budget one out to see the difference.
How do sports games look?
Great!! Like being there 😀
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 sweet thats good news iam thinking about getting one
I’m sorry, I wouldn’t know. I don’t use gaming devices, but I’m sure it would. It has the necessary jacks to link up I believe.
where are the amazon links
Hi. I’m sorry I didn’t add any links. I basically did the video to show myself and others that you don’t need to spend lots of money for a movie system. I was getting sick of people saying it’d cost around $5-7k for a cheap system. I thought they were crazy, hence why I hit what I got. And I wanted to show my family a video of my new movie room. Didn’t realize so many people would watch it. But hopefully I’ve opened some peoples minds to getting a cheap movie system.
I’ll check out to see how I can add links at the bottom. Sorry. Have a great day 😀
Will it work for gaming ?
Yes, definitely. I have the same projector with an XBOX one S, and a Switch connected to it. The projector only has one HDMI, but I use a Sony str-dh590 home theater receiver for the switching.
Awesome video really it's amazing set up not to expensive but looks well over price paid great video thanks 😀 👍 stay safe always ❤ 🙏 👍 🦿
Hey thanks Matt. I just wanted to show people that you can make something look great for not too much money. The Best Buy consultants said I’d need to pay around $10-15k for a great system. Ahhh, no way!!! That’s why I wanted to do my first ever RUclips video to show people that you don’t need to spend much at all. Thanks for the message and have a great one. And stay safe too 😀
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 hi you did it it looks amazing really nocked it out the park I would buy that set up and alot3of other people would even in daylight it's watchable well done my friend great work 👍
i have a question, can this projector stretch image to fit on a 16:10 aspect ratio screen, can you please share the screen prompts where you select aspect ratio? Thanks
Hi. I believe it can. I’m not 100% but it’s can change size using all the functions .I just bought a 16:9 aspect screen for ease. But I’m sure it’ll get close worst case.
Yes it does
Where did you buy the screen?
Amazon. Elite Screen 135” manual. Paid $311
Отлично.
Look at the video Epson Home Cinema 2100 Projector - Review 2022 seem it's stolen from you
Haha. That’s funny. I just sent them a message saying that they’d stolen. Y content. What a loser. Thanks for the heads up. Mine isn’t anything special so not too sure why he stole it. 😂
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 Yes not special but already made. ^^
So since their purpose seem to send stuff they don't bother making their own video talking about the sutff they want to sell. And to complete your video is about 880 and their title is about 2100.
How is it with football games?
Good point. I don’t watch football. Haha. Sorry. Everything I’ve watched looks great!
@@myveryeclecticlife8420 have you watched any sports on it?
Golf. Athletics.
Ok
My dream projacter ..But No money
I am outo taxi draivar
To be honest, this is a budget system but you easily have a system for $400-500 all in. Projectors are getting way cheaper and screens can be cheap.

You need to keep your sound levels consistent in your videos. Your voice keeps getting inaudibly quiet and then very loud.
