Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020 Pro Reviews

The Epson PowerLite 3020 projector series offers up a decent deal with a sophisticated picture and a couple of unique features.

Writing about the Home Cinema 3020 really has been has been to a good extent, like reliving last year's review. Certainly the HC3020 looks and cooks like last year's HC3010, but with a number of small improvements, that add up up to a noticeably better, overall projector. I guess sometimes it really is the little things that count. What we have here is a $1600 street priced projector, that is exceptionally bright, and that alone makes it a top choice for rooms that aren't fully setup as a home theater. You could say, "a projector for the rest of us", and it would be true. In my last home, I had a cathedral ceilinged great room, first with off white walls, then later, the walls were painted a rust color. This projector would have had no problem filling my old 128" diagonal Firehawk G3 screen, with a nice bright picture, with good color. This projector, calibrated measures a whopping1362 lumens (mid-point on the zoom), That's at least as bright as any calibrated projector under $10K that we measured until 3D arrived just 3 years ago.
