I've been wanting this thing since it came out, Now that the price has dropped I jumped On IT! This thing is great! I have it hooked up to my Toshiba HD DVD, My scientific Atlantic 8300HD cable box and my Samsung Blu Ray player!(HDMI Switch is a must) MY pretty Black Eppy comes w/all the standard inputs you need to run it as a stationary Hometheater Projector or as a portable Projector DVD player. I'll be honest when I run a standard def movie via Blu Ray or HD DVD player it looks the same, But movies In High DEF, I just sat there and said "WOOOOOOOOOOOOW" this thing has Deep rich color! The DVD player in the Moviemate 72 is good even my burned movies look good on it. Some may want to ceiling mount it but this does not support that type of installation, so what I did was installed a Standard TV wall mount but u can use a standard tv ceiling mount and put it up there! I can insert my disc face to face now unlike the Moviemate 25 which loads from the back, this is a first generation moviemate I purchased 3-4 yrs ago it does not turn, the Moviemate 72 turns on it's chassis for better loading. Now this is native 720p resolution and up scales to 1080p. If u put a 4:3 movie in you can stretch it out and up to fit the screen 16:9 or make it smaller it has other good little tricks to it, oh' the speakers sound fills the room u can hook this up to a subwoofer I used my old Moviemate 25's I kind use this when I'm not trying to rock my building w/my sound system U can hook this up to a system also through standard RCA cables or digital optical cable but i have mine hooked through the optical cable to my system as well as having my eternal HD devices to the sound system. Bottom line for this product... GO FOR IT!!!!
Customer Review: WOW! A great All -In-One Projector!
Every piece of electronics has specific things they are designed for and always has strong points and weaknesses that you must know while you are researching your purchase. I love researching what I purchase and I will spend countless hours pouring over reviews of items before plunking down my hard earned $$ on something. This purchase was no different and has proven to be one of my best choices to date. The first thing I considered while looking over the hundreds and hundreds of projectors out there is what I'll be using it for. Second was image quality. I needed a projector that could replace a TV, use up the least amount of space, and include as many components that go into an entertainment system as possible. It needed to be close to being a complete entertainment system packed into an easily movable unit. I live 9 months out of the year overseas in an apartment and I need to be able to move my entertainment system easily if needed. The Epson MovieMate 72 fit that description to a "T"! This unit has surpassed my expectations in build quality, image quality, sound quality, DVD quality, etc. The key word is quality here. It looks nice, no ugly white plastic to look at, only nice piano black. The upscaling DVD player works flawlessly and the DvD's look great. The 5.1 speaker system is outstanding for being so small, they really do a good job of filling the room with sound. The only item I purchased to compliment this projector system was a subwoofer. Since there was no way to implement a subwoofer into this system, for obvious reasons, and since I mainly watch action movies and shows, it was a must. With the added subwoofer this baby produces a very nice Theater Experience for sure. Okay the good and the bad: Pros: 1. Small for what you get. This looks like a big beautiful square box sitting on your table, bigger than most projectors. The size is actually very small considering what you have packed into this unit. No need for me to review all of this since you can simply read about it in the item description above. 2. Picture quality is excellent for this price range. You get what you pay for when it comes to image quality most of the time. For the $$ the Epson MovieMate 72 produces a top notch image, much better than many projector only units that cost much more. 3. The 5.1 Surround Sound speakers work very well for their size. They produce full, room filling, sound that are very acceptable as the sole source of sound for any movie. Adding a subwoofer is the only addition you may need, if you enjoy action movies. 4. DvD player upscales the source to 720p and produces a very nice picture. No need for an additional DvD player unless you need Blueray. 5. Very short throw. You only need to place this unit about 5' from your wall to get about a 100" screen size. Very, very nice! Cons: 1. Because using this projector you will have to place it in front of you, you will need to run the wires on the floor from your outlet. I purchased a Cord Management Kit that simply runs your wires through molded plastic channels and keeps them neat and flat against the floor. Since the throw distance is so short, you fortunately don't have to run wires very far and it is a trade-off I was willing to accept to get my 5.1 speakers in front of me and all part of the package. That's about it. The Epson MovieMate 72 has impressed EVERY person I've brought over to my apartment and I will own this baby for many years to come. This unit fit perfectly into what I needed and has outperformed my expectations. I would recommend this to anyone that is on a budget that wants to get a very nice projector for their home, as a very nice business meeting room projector where you need good sound (you can attach your computer to this very easily), or for people that live in an apartment and need the ability to move easily. Highly Recommended!
