I've had the projector for a few days now, I've set it up, messed with all the settings, and I am underwhelmed. I am using it directly with my PC, plugged into my graphics card. It is sitting upside down on top of a high cabinet and projecting a 130" image onto a white wall with no screen. At night there is no ambient light coming into the room, but it has white walls and somewhat reflective surfaces so it hasn't been optimized for projection. I am using a small amount of vertical lens shift, around 20%. So that's the setup. Similarly, with a film more heavily graded for colour and texture, such as Fargo, there are different changes to make. Both colour saturation and particularly the image sharpening tools take careful tuning to avoid ruddy skin tones and a noisy picture. The Noise Reduction filter is excellent in this instance.

If you’re planning a home cinema, Epson has you covered regardless of your requirements or budget. There are competitively-priced 1080p projectors for those with limited funds, and very bright models for rooms with white walls or ambient light. The Mars II is capable of a 720p HD picture and can project a picture up to 100 inches, though you’ll probably get the very best picture a little smaller than that. Its light output is a pretty measly 300 lumens though, so you’re going to need a very dark room to get the best out of it. Really appreciate your help here as I have never seen a treated home cinema room or ALR screen in action so dont have a solid feel for their relative benefits. My room is a large attic space and the PJ is 5.65m from the screen (in its current location, movement is possible but not desired) giving me a throw ratio of 1.8. I believe this is sufficient for an ALR screen. I have returned the TW7000 and am now looking at a 7400 or even 9400 but would really need the room treated to take advantage of the 9400.There’s also a frame interpolation option in the onscreen menus that’s designed to take the motion judder out of pans on TV, and add some fluidity to sports, though sadly it doesn’t apply to 4K footage. In our test it worked well, though it’s best to keep it on a relatively weak setting to avoid any video nasties. Audio You can stand it up to project onto a wall, or lie it down and project onto the ceiling. Thankfully the Auto Vertical Keystone will help you get the image aligned without much fuss, and you can zoom and focus manually for images between 66 and 150 inches. As always Richer Sounds flawless in all areas (replacement arrived next day) I wouldn’t even consider buying anywhere else…..I’m a R/S lifer. A Thankyou too the Preston staff :) Our only niggles? It’s a little noisy when working at its hardest and there’s the occasional motion hiccup with the fastest of movement, but neither impact the overall experience enough to make us love this projector any less. In terms of performance these projectors don’t disappoint either, and while not native 4K they are still capable of big, bright and detailed images that are uncompromisingly cinematic. The use of the three LCD panels also allows Epson’s projectors to reproduce 100% of the Rec.709 and DCI-P3 colour gamuts with impressive accuracy.

Epson have a number of great home cinema projectors available with a model to suit every budget. To make it easier, we have produced the below comparison table to show you what features you can expect to get for your money.. At this price, it isn’t 4K, but it does offer 1080p HDR gaming at 120Hz, and can downscale 4K sources too. To get the very best 8ms lag time as quoted though, you’ll have to play in HD SDR using the Enhanced Game Mode. In terms of limitations, the technology has a slower response time compared to DLP – much like LCD TVs – and thus the motion handling isn’t as good. In addition, the light path in an LCD projector isn’t sealed, so it can occasionally suffer from those dreaded dust blobs.

The EH-TW9400’s 2.1x optical zoom lens means it can produce an image from 50in up to 300in, and with a bright 2,600 lumens to play with, it’ll even play ball in a lighter room. Epson projectors have a significantly higher colour brightness than 1-chip DLP projectors thanks to 3LCD technology. As such, Epson’s projectors offer up to three times brighter colours, resulting in more vivid and colourful images. Home cinema enthusiasts will almost certainly want to look elsewhere, but there’s a lot to love about the balance of considerations the Nebula Mars II makes. For casual users looking for a plug-and-play home cinema in-a-box, this is a whole lot of fun indeed.
