Customer Review: Epson Moviemate 30s delivers 100% quality
Summary: 5 Stars
We have owned an Epson moviemate 30s for a year and it has been a great purchase. This projector makes family movie nights come alive. We watch movies, play games and our favorite CSI DVDs appear larger than life in awesome tones and vivid colors. The sound from the built-in speakers is excellent but we still added the optional subwoofer for deep bass and wall bouncing sound. I give this little giant a 5 star rating.Customer Review: Very Pleased
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this projector to use in a small, but growing church. The room is fairly bright, but the Epson still does a great job. The audio output is remarkably clear and volume is more than adequate. We are very pleased.Customer Review: It is an entry level projector
Summary: 4 Stars
Plus:
Integrated DVD player + projector for convenience;
Sound quality is good enough to play movie on DVD or concert on DVD;
Price is good;
Picture can be adjusted to very big even if the screen is close, good for a small room;
Fan is quiet compared to many other projectors;
Great customer support by Epson;
Projector light bulb lasts long and cheap to replace;
OK for occasional use as an entry level projector;
Minus:
Bulky and heavy (15 lbs);
Brightness is poor for day time use (Office projectors are much better as far as brightness goes);
Vertical lens shift is not enough, bottom of projected picture will be aligned to projector chassis at most, so that projector has to be put at a position higher than coffee table;
Horizontal lens shift is not enough is not enough, good for 1 or two watchers, 3 watchers? Do not know;
(LCD) Color richness is not as good as CRT, the difference is noticeable;
Give 4 stars.
Customer Review: almost perfect!

Hello. I bought this projector directly from Epson before the summer and love it. I love the fact that we can set up our own drive-in outside during the summer and have hosted a drive-in night almost every weekend.
On the negative side though...I have also found a problem with the height adjustment as well. The machine does have a bit of height adjustment available but mine does not make it to the screen from the floor either (or even from a coffee table). I do have to elevate the machine up so that it is more level with the picture I want to produce. I have also found a problem with the volume outside. When running the machine inside it seems quite loud but when you are outside the volume seems too dispursed and does not produce a loud enough sound (especially on quiet movies without all the "action"). I have not been able to find a way to set up extra speakers to this to make it louder when using it outside. I know this unit can be hooked up to your tv and stereo unit but have not done that. Since I have no problem with the volume inside and have no intention of bringing my entire "stereo system" outside, I think this will still be a problem.
On the plus side....It's a great value for the money and I love being able to have my own drive in nights outside. I even take it with me camping and I am the envy of many other campers on their "walks". I made my own screen for outdoors (I do also have the duet screen which I use indoors but do not take it out so that I do not ruin it). The projection of the machine can get MUCH larger then the screen allows and I have 2 king size sheets sewn together and it could still get bigger if I wanted it to. The picture is still crystal clear even at this size of picture.
So as a wrap up...The volume is low if played outside but great if you are inside. The height does need to be adjusted and can not be played quite as easy as it says. It's a great value for the money when you are comparing to other machines that do the same thing for thousands more. The picture is very clear and the fact that you can just throw your dvd in it is great. (no hook ups to a tv required, so it can be played anywhere). I would buy it again!

Summary: 5 Stars
I am extremely pleased with this product. It was just as promoted in the advertising. All that is necessary is to take it out of the box, plug it in, and put in a movie. The quality is excellent. We just used it this past weekend for my daughter's 15th birthday party. We had an outdoor movie theater/campfire celebration. The image was outstanding. We projected onto a white stucco painted garage wall. The teenagers thought it was really great. My husband and I highly recommend it.
