Summary: Why Buy a Big TV?
Comment: 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????

Summary: So far, so good
Comment: 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.
