Epson Deals & Offers

I've got an Epson EH-TW5300 which has really got me back into 3D films again and everyone I've shown it to has been blown away by it. Not sure about price, but I think I paid just over £500 about a year ago, so it's likely you could find one within your budget by now.

looking to spend maybe upto £500 on a projector... any recommendations guys?

I'd honestly recommend paying a bit more and getting full HD and 3D capability.

As the OP says, this is great for "presentations" - a nice office projector. If you're looking for a home cinema projector, Full HD (1920x1080) is well worth spending the extra for.

Not a bad deal. Very bright for the price, not Full HD though ( WXGA 1280 x 800) but if you keep it under 120 inches or so shouldn't be an issue. Contrast ratio 15k to 1. Today's home theater projectors come in different fixed resolutions including XGA (1024 x 768), WXGA (1280 x 800), HD (1920 x 1080) and, every once in a while, 4K (4096 x 2160). HD is the most popular format.

Great, that's the website I was looking for.

According to this calculator to get a screen size of 120 inches with this projector you will need to place it 2.72m to 3.28m (8' 11" to 10' 9") away from the screen.

Thanks that puts it behind my wall! Oh well

its personal opinion. I searched and found that the recommend viewing angle for most people is 40degrees, for THX certification it has to be at least 36degrees. at 120", thats 2.6m wide, which to be 40 degrees viewing angle means you should sit about 3.6m back At this distance you should mount your projector 3m back from the screen. I have set my screen up with 50deg viewing angle and it seems fine for me.

How far should it be from the screen for, say, 120 inch image?

This is true. These are good for watching some movies if you lre not too bothered about picture quality and detail but display a slide with more Text or detail on it and it won't be as great. I have a chinese projector that uses SVGA resolition and its best for playing children Cartoons. Youre fine with peppa pig or Shrek for example but action movies is a pain. I've paid for my cheap chinese one 3 years ago £110 but best option is probably to go for optoma when they're on a deal.

Displaying anything where lots of text is required, like spreadsheets, in 800x600 is hard. Unless you're just doing a few slides or video it won't be amazing. For about £100-130 you can get a 1280x800 beamer from the usual Chinese vendors, which'll be as bright as this, a bit noisier with worse build quality, optics and image adjustment abilities, but depending on what you need might actually be a better proposition. Here's a couple of links (for anyone that's interested XD ): https://www.gearbest.com/projectors/pp_603643.html?wid=1433363 (this is standard 1280x800) https://www.gearbest.com/projectors/pp_775870.html?wid=1433363 (this is same but with Android client built in)

This looks great for business use though, I'm tempted to pick one up for work!

But its only SVGA. I guess its decent at that price range but if I was to go for another home Cinema projector id much rather go something full HD or 4k. Of course its pricey but I've had mine projecting at 105" screen and quality isnt that great then. There fine for screen up to 60" i guess but then id prefer to pay the extra and get even one of the cheaper polaroid tvs and enjoy a fair better quality picture.

Good Price, thanks for posting

For 2 metres you'd probably want a short throw or ultra short throw projector but they're more expensive. As for returns, I'm not sure how a projector would play out as the bulb is considered a consumable so if you turn it on it won't be in original condition. I'd do some research on that first before trying it out. Another option would be to try out the super cheap things coming out of China. £50 for an LED based 800x480 projector. They're not going to be bright or high resolution but as something to test projectors as a technology out with they're pretty good.

I think you'd be alright. It is indeed correct that you won't get a massive image projected given the distance. At the same time, you will be sitting really close so visually it works out the same as a bigger image but viewing from further away. That being said, you should really consider TV instead of projector for 2 meters.

I have one for this price very good projector plus it has 10.000 hours lamp life which is excellent alwAys check lamp life Second watching movies with projector is nice

I'd say just over 2m. Can I return Amazon electrical goods after use? It sounds like I'll only know what it's like after trying it out at least once. Thank you for the update - I didn't actually know about distance/dimmage. I thought it might be the opposite!

Projectors are dimmer than TVs generally so be careful with that. The bigger the image the dimmer it'll be. How small is smallish? For instance I've got a 4.5m throw giving me about 130" diagonal image size. If you've only got 2m you'll get a much smaller image and might be better off with a TV or a short-throw projector that doesn't need as much distance from the surface.

Yeah love movie night on my 120" screen..nothing quite like it(well the cinema)

Given Netflix etc is 24fps I think fake 4k might be ok? I rarely game on my projector. Only a party game with my son. So I think fake 4k is like switching the pixels over so it is kind of like 1080i in the old days? So if 24fps not 60 then maybe feasible? My gt1080 optima was around 550 quid so like you looking to bite when gets to around 1000. Though would have to get netflix 4k source on top AND my surround sound wont take it via hdmi so would need optical out too...

Not native 4k unfortunately. Cheapest with true 4k chip is currently £5k. Some reviews are saying its hard to tell the difference though

You've top trumped me, I'm rocking out 100" and that's awesome with 5.1 surround. People keep saying it'll be to big when I tell them but they see it and say its class

The question is.... is it full native 4k Or "fake 4k" :/

Amazon are doing that a lot. As soon as there's site traffic, the price starts to rise. Best be sure to order your own before posting on HUKD.

It is £569 now.

Optoma hd142x is a bit better to this one comparatively

The wife thinks it's overkill, but she thought the same about the projector until I fired it up. She was engrossed with Mad Max Fury Road and I couldn't get her to watch it on a regular telly in a million years

Ordered, Thanks OP!!!

Had one of these. Worked really well. Til black wouldn't print properly. I couldn't sort it out. Bought a laser printer (mono) and I'm not going back. (:I

would be nice if you actually said the problem you had with your printer,rather than just slag it off with no reason

this seems a decent enough deal, I wanted duplex print, ADF, double sided ADF a nice to have. I went for the £35 Brother A3 on here happy so far.(no cash back or stock now still good deal if stock appears) I nearly went for the Canon Maxify from Argos at £72 - £40 cash back (still very limited stock checknow says 23 have the item in store) I think the entry level business like this Epson seem to offer more for your money if you can find a decent price with cashback and longer warranty. if you want photo then they may not fit but for general print scan copy fine, an ADF is worth having even is you hardly ever use it, time saver on multi page scan/copy. Canon still has 3y warranty and cashback on some Maxify models. https://www.canon.co.uk/business-print-cashback/terms-and-conditions/ even from canon the MB2150 is £60 after cashback and 3y warranty.

Not sure what these Epson say but the Brother printers I have had you leave switched on and they do maintenance cycles if not used for a period.

whats the odds that you never used it for about 2 weeks then you got the problems -just sounds like another person who miss uses there equipment or just does not read instructions that come with it about usage,if so then just buy a printer that uses ink cartridges at £20 plus per cartridge

buy another 325

my xp 325 printer that i got through a deal on hotdeals some years ago is finally giving up the ghost, however ive still got lots of cartridges but they dont seem to be compatible with it.

got a similar xp422 takes 18xl cartridges. had for about 3 years now and always used non real cartridges about 30p each. brilliant printer dirt cheap to run.

Ok thanx think il leave it then

We were going to get one of these the other day, but just be aware, there is no paper cartridge so you have to put sheets of paper in the top like the good old days. If I remember, the cartridges in Currys were £40 for a set. As can be the case... more expensive than the actual printer.

You can get a total of £40 cashback if you buy an ink muktipack as well. That's currently £26 so you effectively get the printer and some spare ink for about £86. Great deal.

Awesome , get one.

Very poor reviews

Many thanks..

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Projector-Screen-100-4-3-Home-Theatre-Class-Office-3D-HD-TV-Movie-Projection/372252588007 Similar to this one but 90" which means I may be projecting closer to 75". Quite happy with it though! This one costs about the same as my 90" did ......

I've auditioned the Epson 5650, TW650 and HD142X before purchasing and the Epson 5650 won hands down for me. The TW650 is a good projector if your budget doesn't stretch to the 5650 model. The Optoma's fan was very noisy for me and I was worried about the rainbow effect that some of my family members are sensitive to.

I just bought the Epson 5650 model (A flash Amazon deal posted on here) which is also superb. Which screen make did you opt for?

What are the cold votes for? I was wondering how this compared to the Optoma HD142x

The reviews on Currys/PC World website are 4 out of 5 Stars - based on 395 reviews.

I would agree with torby - if the printer is less than a year old you should be heading back to where you bought from; furthermore, at 40 quid and if it's more than a year old/out of warranty I'd dump it (I know not very environmentally friendly) and buy another.

If it’s still within warranty you point of contact and contract is with the seller...it’s up to them to sort. What was the problem you had to phone Spain?

Does it work with Widows XP ? Thanks

Very cheap compatible inks for this available
