1.Introduction

Several months ago, when I knew I will make the transition from TV to a projector, I also started to look around for a projector screen. After researching online and visiting store demo rooms, I found on Amazon this FAVI HD-120 16:9 120 inch Electric Projector Screen that was selling for quite a decent price as large electric projectors go, around $257 at the time of writing. More important, Amazon had free shipping which is quite amazing considering the size of the unit. I never heard of FAVI before, but I decided to give it a try and see how it performs. The result of the last three months of use paired with my Epson PowerLite 3010e 3D projector (full review) are detailed in this Favi HD-120 review. Read More…

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3010/3010e 3D Projector Review 2012

1. Introduction

I was thinking for a while to make the transition to 3D, but I held back due to less than satisfactory equipment and experience. Like many, I went around the show rooms and tested various 3D TV sets, only to be disappointed by the viewing experience. While 2D TV is absolutely fine on most TV sizes, to watch 3D you need in my opinion a certain perspective, otherwise it feels like you are watching an aquarium. I wanted to feel like I am being immersed in the 3D scene, and I soon realized there is no way I can achieve my goal with a regular size TV set, so I started looking to some reasonably priced 3D full HD capable projector. Reasonably priced would been the entire setup around $2000, or $2500 at most. After a couple of months of researching (and about the same time spent in convincing my wife that we “need” yet another electronic toy), I bought Epson’s new PowerLite Home Cinema 3010 (3010e version) from Amazon (no taxes in California and they have the lowest price by far), 4 pairs of Panasonic 3D 3rd generation glasses (yes, they are compatible)  and a 120 inches FAVI motorized screen. I put everything together and the impressions will be fully detailed in this Epson 3010 review. Read More…
