Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-W01 Portable Projector, 3-Chip 3LCD, Widescreen, 3,000 Lumens Color/White Brightness, 5 W Speaker, 300-Inch Home Entertainment and Work, Streaming Ready

The media could not be loaded. Okay this does mis advertised as built in wifi. The company said that it's not true, however, it is true and I was able to find the wifi on my network after disabling AP Isolation in my router settings. I reset everything as I honestly don't know much about setting up a network.I use my Amazon Fire TV stick 2nd generation and plug the USB into the device, and it doesn't overheat as it does when plugged into the wall circuit with a plug.Optimal settings.. eco mode, rgb color, and on the streaming device, color up to 12 bits, disable HDR, and auto everything else. I did set it at 1080p 50hz , not 60 and the results are amazing, with no latency while watching media. Does not get hot anymore when used on ECO mode.Disable CEC mode in FIRE TV as it allows Epson remote to control it, and noticed the channels being changed without me doing it. CEC allows a remote to control the other device.Would like to see more guided tutorial about the LAN feature that is sold separately and costs 120usd the elpap11 is the one that is compatible and is used to only display IMAGES, not live content like video. Used more for business and school situations.HDMI EQ setting I used option 1, as it worked best for my environment. You may need to test them all 1-3 out for personal preference. The HDMI EQ (Equalization) setting on a projector is used to fine-tune the signal strength received from devices connected via HDMI.* Purpose:* Improve Signal Quality: It helps compensate for signal degradation that can occur due to long HDMI cables, signal interference, or issues with the source device.* Resolve Display Problems: If you're experiencing problems like flickering, no image, or distorted video, adjusting the HDMI EQ setting might help restore a stable and clear picture.The listing advertised this CO-W01 PROJECTOR as having ZOOM for video meetings. It doesn't have ZOOM video calling app, it has the feature ZOOM in, and ZOOM out for enlarging and decreasing the view area. Maybe have Epson prepare the content for Advertising. The Epson employee did say this (built in wifi) is incorrect as to what is being advertised. Initially, I did try to return this projector and couldn't, no idea why. However, Epson said if I provide my receipt of purchase near the end of warranty, I they would switch it out or something (I forgot specifically) . I did register this product and Epson rep said I didn't have to, as this is a basic projector with no updates.I definitely recommend this projector to anyone as the picture is amazing it has 3000 lumens and is HD high definition displaying at 1080p and I was able to confirm this by viewing the projector status within the projector settings. I did try GOOGLE Chromecast HD, and had a yellow tinge, and kept asking me for my passwords, and I think I have to fix the settings, but gave up as this was too time consuming and I'm decent at figuring out these things.Mirroring my phone: using Fire TV, I successfully mirrored my Samsung phone using Samsung smart view feature.FIRE TV has option for Apple products as well to be mirrored. My Android phone projection was great, as it showed text with clarity.Using the zoom and native resolution settings, I effectively mirrored my phone to my liking. I get eye strain from using my phone and mirroring it makes it better for my eyes.I use this in daylight and it's very bright. At night, it's even more brilliant in terms of enhanced visuals. If you're looking for a projector where it has a streaming service, and wifi that you can easily access, then consider their other model. I paired my JBL ear buds to my FIRE TV STICK flawlessly and noticed without that, using the setting to source the audio out to A/V is best and could be heard better, although that's dependent on the audio used for the content as they all differ. Great basic projector. I will next be looking into the mini EF laser one if I decide to upgrade.

The quality of the video is great & the projector itself is easy to set up but the speaker on this unit is absolutely terrible. Almost sounds like a phone speaker from the previous generation. I had to connect the firestick I have plugged into the unit to my Google Home smart speaker & THAT sounds 3x better. Unfortunately the unit itself doesn't have Bluetooth or any audio out ports, only usb ports.

I run shows in hotels with an occasional speaker and in-house AV and Production costs are very expensive for my needs. I don’t blame the in-house AV for charging what they charge but for a small low budget meeting renting a projector and screen is an easy $1000. This projector is a budget saver and it really high quality for a smaller crowd of 50 to view an on-screen image. It has paid for itself just in one of my events thus far.

The overall product is very solid as far as projectors go, which is a plus, as I've gone through a few that were not well made. This Epson is easy to set up, and very easy to maintain and adjust. The picture quality is okay, good for what I need, but I recommend cine files double check the specs and really look hard at any samples of the throw image, I suspect the resolution, and contrast would not satisfy someone putting together a home theatre system, but for my purposes (I will travel with this to do talks in conference rooms and mixed use spaces) it is a great sturdy projector. Please note that there is no direct "audio out" you will need an HDMI audio splitter to port audio out to outside speakers.

I tried couple of foreign budget brands after watching so many YouTube reviews but none of them impressed me.There is a reason why Epson,Benq .. etc are top brands. I liked the epson- co-w01 instantly.My observation:Anker solar 1080p projector: worst image quality I have ever seen. Videos are completely washed out- no colors, pale skin tones, no contrast, dull light. 300$Happrun: it’s no. 1 selling on Amazon but I didn’t like it at all. Edges are blurry, colors & contrast not good, not enough brightness. <90$Nexigo-pj40: edges are slightly blurry, colors over saturated, too much contrast that you can’t watch hdr movies as anything in the shadow or black is completely black. I don’t see faces of people in dark scenes. Not at all watchable. YouTubers gave rave reviews:( <250$***Epson: co-w01: 300$Pros:bright image even in eco modeSuper colorsGood contrast ( some reviews complained about contrast but compared to other products in this range it’s good)Very low fan noiseReliable brandCons: you see some gray bars in top and bottom as this has slightly different aspect ratio but I’m ok with itBulb life is less and not replaceable. But 12k hours life in eco is good for me.Just 1 hdmi and 1 usb port. No aux port.I’m using fire tv stick with hdmi input and usb port to power the stick. Connected BT speaker to fire tv. All set to enjoy 100+ inches screen.

This is easily the best budget projector I have ever purchased. It looks bright, the resolution is better than the specs seem to indicate, and I just feel it's a great value. The audio may not be the best but you can easily use an external sound system. I have an Epson 4K projector for my home theater, and this was meant for traveling. Honestly, it's surprisingly comparable to projectors costing 4 times as much.
