No lens shift.  Just vertical and horizontal keystone correction.  ;)

Post by: nerveblocker on Jan 02, 2014 at 03:21 PM
Keystone correction might have some image distortion or artifacts on the corrected side of the picture.  That's why lens shift is still better. Better yet if you plan to buy this projector, hold off buying the screen right away until you have installed the projector and then measure what screen size would be ideal for the installed PJ then adjust accordingly.

Titor update mo kami kung nahirapan ka sa placement.
Title: Re: Epson 2030 "budget" home theater projector
Post by: titor on Jan 06, 2014 at 08:49 PM
placement was ok. kaso coming from an Acer 5360 which did not have lens shift I wouldnt know how that works.  the same place where i mounted the old pj produced a much bigger image than my old 90" screen. Now I don't know if i'll move it or get a bigger screen.

unless ok lang ang viewing distance mo, ok din mag upgrade to a bigger screen pero kung mapagod naman mga mata nyo then stick with 90" and adjust the PJ's location, mas matipid pa. be praktikal, ;)

It has good black levels out of the box. Better if you calibrate it. 3D is great as well.

hello po sa mga tw5200/2030 owners... tanong ko lang po kung whats the best screen size for this pj... yung bright pa ang pictures nya even in a room with ambient lighting o kaya kung sa living room lang sya ilalagay and with curtains naman po yng windows but not as dark as a dedicated ht room.

Throw distance and viewing distance is not a factor kasi may sapat na space naman po. May nabasa po kasi ako sa net na may sweet spot lang po mga pjs. May maximum screen lang po na maganda pa ang projected image nya. Kasi pag malayo na raw ang placement ng pj to project a larger image, na lessen na raw ang brightness nya as projected sa screen. Tama po ba to? Sorry at newbie lang po.

Salamat po.

that will depend on your room and wall's size. I have a 70x70 (99" diagonal) and a 108" diagonal screen. the 70" barely fits my bedroom, while the 108" only fits in our living room.

Im using a 92" DIY white. I tried gray before though my improvements sa blacks but the colors were toned down. Sa living room with some ambient light so i switched back to white.

for the owners...

di ko mahanap sa manual baka naduling lang ako... how do you set the HDMI link? I mean pag on ko sa pj it turns on the AVR but instead of HDMI 1 naka default siya sa HDMI 3 it's where my ps is connected so mag on din ang PS. tapos pag i lipat ko na sa HDMI 1 ang sound goes to the projector.

Gusto ko sana pag on ko. turns on the AVR na naka HDMI 1 para ma on din ang NMT

thanks.

To owners of EPSON 2030,

Can you install this at the ceiling? I'm replacing my Optoma GT750e ST prsently installed in the ceiling. Tried looking at http://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-PowerLite_Home_Cinema_2030-projection-calculator-pro.htm (http://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-PowerLite_Home_Cinema_2030-projection-calculator-pro.htm) but it didn't show any distance computations for ceiling installation.

Would appreciate any feedback please.

TIA. :)

Yes you can install this in the ceiling. I installed mine. Medyo iba to compared to other PJ's i forgot the term used about angles... but you need to have those mounts na may extension. I had mine extended about 12 inches from the ceiling.

I saw the box from the store here in Japan and its printed "Made in the Philippines". Is it the same with yours? Planning to bring it home. TIA.

I got the 2030 which is a US version. But I didn't check on the box. I'll see if I can still find it.

Hi Sir,

Already installed mine. Naka mount sa ceiling but I moved it few feet backward kasi ST yung dati kung projector (Optoma GT750e). I have questions lang sir baka you can help me out:
1. Bakit naka select lang yung NORMAL sa Aspect mode nya, naka Grey yung iba?
2. Since di ko magamit DLP 3D glasses ko, you know where to get cheap Samsung glasses for TW5200?

Thanks sir. Share mo naman set-up mo.

TIA.  :)

you can visit this link for a more detailed measurement...

http://www.epson.com.ph/sites/epson_philippines/projectors/throwdistancecalculatorv035/Index.html

this is Epson's official throw distance calculator. every needed measurement for projector placement are specified here.

Hi Sir,
1. Bakit naka select lang yung NORMAL sa Aspect mode nya, naka Grey yung iba?

The available aspect ratio varies depending on the input signal. It is enabled if you use the RCA/Video input. For HDMI and VGA inputs, it is grayed out because these sources are capable of 1080P output which is the projector's native resolution.
