With 2500 lumens and a 3000:1 contrast ratio the Epson 705HD possesses the image power to project vivid, saturated pictures in a variety of lighting situations. It even has four image modes to match its capabilities to the ambient lighting condition.
Its HDMI 1.3a and USB inputs allow you to show everything from Blu-ray discs to JPEG picture slide shows in table top, ceiling mount or rear projection modes onto a screen as wide(diagonally) as 320 inches (more than 26 feet across).
For an entry level projector the 705HD certainly seems ambitious. It's perfectly suited to a permanent installation. But it's ready to travel the world with its 100 to 240 V AC power supply and its ability to accept and project images in NTSC (the North American system), NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL-60 and SECAM. Moreover, it's compatible with 45 PC and Mac video resolution and frequency standards.
It weighs a mere 5.1 pounds and it even comes with its own carry case. Whether you're looking for a projector you can install in your living room or you need a projector that can truly stow, go, and show the 705HD can do the job for you.
- 720p High Definition Performer is 1080i Compatible Too
- Enjoy a low-priced entry level 720p projector without sacrificing 1080i compatibility.
- 3LCD Quality and Reliability
- LCD technology for incredible color, amazing detail and road-tested reliability with no possibility of color break-up or "rainbow effect."
- Increased Brightness
- Theater-like movie images with 2,500 lumens of white and color light output for brightness levels that are among the highest in this home theater category.
- Easy Set-up and Installation
- Epson Universal Mount, 1.2x optical zoom and Instant On, Instant Off technology allows for no waiting time to start or shut-down projector.
- Versatile Connectivity
- Component Video, S-Video, HDMI version 1.3a and USB Type A digital connections to share photos and slideshows.
- E-TORL Epson Twin Optics Reflection Lamp
- Provides optimum light uniformity and increased light output for screen sizes larger than ten feet with exclusive 200 watt high efficiency design; uses less energy for up to 5,000 hours of lamp life.
- NTSC, PAL and SECAM Compatible Plus 45 PC and Mac Video Modes
- The 705HD is perfectly suited for permanent installation but if you need to travel with it, its video versatility might just save the day, especially if you travel overseas. In addition to projecting in NTSC (the North American system), NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL-60 and SECAM, it can also project in high definition (720p, 1080i) and extended definition (480p and 576p).
- Four Color Modes for Optimum Viewing
-
Enjoy the ability to choose between four color modes to tune the picture to match differing lighting conditions:
- Dynamic: For projecting in a bright room
- Game: For video games or TV in bright room
- Living Room: For projecting in a room with blinds closed
- Theatre: For natural-toned movies in a darkened room

New projector from Epson released in Oct 09. Installed in new home theater, front-ceiling mounted. Easy set-up, great picture on white-painted wall. 132" diagonal HD picture. Been up & running for 2 weeks and over 70 hours. Lots of connectivity options (have only used HDMI so far). Very bright picture. Eco setting for lamp is plenty bright for extended lamp life. Like the potential long-life of lamp...4000-5000 hrs. Good set of features. Auto-keystone correction works well. Fits our home theater needs perfectly. Only Con, if you can call it that, is that Instant-On can take about 30 seconds for warm-up. Instant-Off works quickly & well. Used for cable TV (standard and HD), VCR tapes, Blu-Ray/DVD, and Wii games. Not top-of-the-line model but not top-of-price either. Good basic, well-featured home theater projector for the price.

Great for movies, color and brightness are as to be expected. The throw (size of the screen) is better than others in its class; however, when looking at photos on it its contrast and ability to display accurate skin tones is nowhere near as good as the epson PowerLite 8100, which our photo club uses.
I'll probably sell this projector to my parents for thier living room and buy the epson power lite for myself after Christmas. The only downside to the 8100 is its size...

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
This is used as a home theatre projector attached to a Blu-Ray player and Apple TV. It provides great resolution, bright and vivid colours, and great contrast ratios, and holds the highlights well.
My only minor complaint is the fan noise, which can be eliminated by hooking up speakers and turning them up!

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
I bought this projecion because i seen it in action first hand. Half the cost of a hdtv and picture quality is great. Just smoothed out the concrete wall in my basement with plaster. Made the screen 110" and lookes awesome. I game and watch movies with the xbox360 and watch satelitte tv with a hd splitter. Only thing i would have liked was a audio out control on the unit, have to have a receiver (surround sound) for good audio. xbox makes a audio rca component to hook up so u can use it with hd and surround sound.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
We use the projector for our Photo Arts club, in order to provide live webinars, and commentary on the member photos..
We found the projector to be sharp and accurate in color reproduction.
It was easy to adjust and was relatively quiet.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
The quality of video from the 705HD was actually better than I expected. The disappointing feature is the audio output from the machine. I added external speakers through my laptop which made the system completely awesome.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
I did a lot of research before buying this handy little machine. I bought an HDMI cable and we are set up with my laptop. I wanted something to watch movies at home in our living room. We have airfoil which streams audio to our stereo speakers and works with Hulu and Netflix and also works with DVD's.
I can also take it to work to present videos and slideshows.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
i use the home cinema in my living room and it is awsome for all uses, for multimedia or for my home cinema, because it have a good lumen and contrast relation. in low light conditions it is much better but it can work well with more light too.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
My projector is used in the home theatre application, in a basement setting. Since sound is the priority I'm using an acoustically transparent screen made from standard reflective fabric. Obviously using the proper screen would produce better visual results but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far on a 100" diameter screen.
The projector, I feel, is very user friendly. The Menu is easy to navigate around.
The fan is somewhat loud but the ECO mode makes up the difference since the fan operates at a lower speed.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
I have used this 3 times now and really like it. The description for this projector is spot on.
Set it up in the front yard for movie night with the neighbors. Can't see a thing during the day but after dark it's awesome. I use it with my old DVD player with surround sound and it works great!

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
Our non-profit support group recently purchased this product (on sale at the time at B & H)to use in classes and for our visiting lecturers. This model was selected because of my previous experience with it in our local camera club. It projects nicely saturated, crisp images, has a long bulb life, versatile connections and modes and is a great value.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
This is a wonderful projector. I bought my second one after using the first regularly for 1 year. One criticism I have of the product is that after about 180 hours of eco bulb usage the image quality isn't as crisp and wonderful as a new projector. It's light, easy to use and really high quality image despite being half HD res. If it had horizontal keystone I would give it 5 stars.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
I have only had this projector for a couple of weeks, but here is my review so far. This is the first projector that I have ever purchased. I was a little hesitant because I thought that the picture quality would not be able to match a television's. I was so wrong. I have this bad boy projecting a huge (around 100") image and it looks amazing. I am a gamer and am in heaven! The only thing that was a little annoying about this projector is that there is no audio out so I was unable to hook my speakers up to it, and will have to get some kind of interface for that.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
I orginally began looking at projectors for a backyard theater project but when our TV started dying it became very clear that a projector as a home theater solution was going to give us the best bang forour buck. If we'd have paid twice what we did for the projector we still would have been 20 inches smaller than the 80 inch display we currently enjoy. We even went the extra mile and built a gorgeous screen with blackout cloth and picked up a 7.1 surround sound system. Again, All this for the cost of a 60 inch LCD. A buddy of mine saw the setup and bought one the next day and my brother is now considering the same. We could not be happier.

Comments about Epson 705HD Powerlite Home Cinema LCD Projector:
This projector does an excellent job as an HDTV sports projector (at about 80" to 100" screen size), as well as for general TV, in a moderately-darkened room. (Room lights being on is fine, sunlight is not.) This projector is amazingly bright, at 2500 lumens, especially for such a small projector. When compare to my previous Sony projector (which was nearly 4 times the price), the colors and black levels are not as "gorgeous", so it is not excellent for photographs and such, as others have reported, but great for any moving images with reasonably bright scenes. Also, bulbs are very long life and much cheaper as compared to most other projectors, so overall life-cycle cost should be low, low, low! 4.5 Stars.
