It is the best and very, very clear on a plain white wall (condo for 3years) or on theater screen (house we just moved into). Adjustable screen size can go from small to VERY LARGE, it felt like i was at the theaters in the condo! I used this at least 15 hours a week and I only had to change the bulb recently. It can be hung upside down from the ceiling or placed on a tabletop when projecting. It has mini speakers but are not really useful unless its 3am dead quiet. Volume level is really weak. It has a soft purring sound when on FYI- but u wont notice it when using it. Lastly, it projects visibly during the day unless you are watching a very dark filmed movie/show and i have light filtering blinds/curtains.","name":"Clear, great quality, easy to maintain"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Projectors/Home-Cinema/PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-Projector/p/V11H331020#review-42105295","datePublished":"2015-01-17","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"1","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"We get the auto iris all the time!

I only had 1 minor issue with it.\nAfter owning it for about 2 or 3 months, the front leveling leg stopped operating correctly. I called Epson and the person I spoke to was very friendly and advised me to ship it back for a replacement. I was told to keep my present Projector until the replacement arrived. Once the replacement arrived (which was shipped next day air) it included a postage paid shipping tag for FedEx.\nI have never come close of dealing with a company that stands behind their product half as well as Epson does, and a two year warranty at that!!!!

Highly recommended especially for your first one.\n\nPros: Great color, size, easy to set up, multiple inputs, settings that help control how the screen is set up so you have placement options. Relatively small, pretty lightweight.\n\nCons: after 1.5 yrs the fan was a bit louder than before. Newer units may have more connectivity options, but this one has enough! When the unit is tilted severely, the sharpness of the picture varies from top to bottom a little, but nearly unnoticeable.\n\nEnjoy!","name":"Great Buy!

The HDMI setup for both the laptop and my home entertainment system was quick and simple. I spent 5 minutes adjusting the picture quality to my complete satisfaction with the remote. The picture quality on my portable 83\" screen is outstanding. The built in speakers are fair but limited in volume and sound quality. I mute the onboard speakers and use my surround sound system for personal use and use external speakers for my laptop presentations. I am very impressed with the automatic picture squaring feature. I set the projector almost two feet below the screen and 9 feet back from the screen for classroom work and use a ceiling mount for home use.

I use it to teach classes on canine care, behavior and training. I have used it to show power point slide presentations, CD videos and to show U-Tube videos. It is easy to set up and use. The projection image is clear and easily visible. Having this projector has made my classes more interesting and expanded the educational material that I can use utilize to teach a subject that is very dear to my heart, canine behavior. I can explain in great detail what the behavior looks like but being able to show the behavior using the 705HD projector is worth a thousand+ words.

Paired with my Xbox360, games went from good to amazing. The picture is bright and clear, colors were good right out of the box (i did alter them slightly). Sports on TV also look great. Even sports with lots of movement and action such as basketball and hockey play smoothly.\n\nThe built in speakers sounded rather bad. Best way for me to describe them is talking in a tin can down a cave. However, I run all my audio sources to a receiver and floor speakers anyway, so the built in speakers were not much of an issue.\n\nOverall, this projector is very nice and can be had for a reasonable price. Great color and picture on my 94 inch screen. There are a few things to note for new projector buyers: No lens shift which limits mounting/ placement options. Only one HDMI which makes using multiple sources more difficult (An A/V receiver can fix this issue). Do your research on what you need and I'm sure you can find an Epson that will fill your needs like this 705HD did for me.\n\nI would recommend this product to a friend in a heartbeat.","name":"PowerLite Home Cinema 705HD"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Projectors/Home-Cinema/PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-Projector/p/V11H331020#review-21214927","datePublished":"2012-01-04","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"My family bought this projector for Christmas of 2009 and we absolutely love it! We have all of our entertainment devices hooked up to it including our DVD, HD Cable television, game console, and even my wife’s HTC – EVO phone has played through it via HDMI cable; It has become a true entertainment center. We’ve hosted BSU football parties at our house (Blue and Orange has never looked better), the kids love to play the Wii on the HUGE screen, and the money we’ve saved not having to go to the theater has paid for the projector many times over.\n\nThe image is good enough to watch in a daylight lit room, yet really pops at night! The contrast ratio is a little low, yet for the price of the machine it doesn’t bother me. One downside is that although the lifespan of the bulb is rated for 4000-5000 hours, we have had two bulbs so far that have not gone past much more than 1000hrs. Though this has been disappointing, Epson has really come through on their customer service in replacing the bulb, twice, at no cost to me and receiving it within a week of calling customer support; great job Epson!\n\nWhat persuaded me to initially buy an Epson projector was the price for what you get, and the great online reviews. What keeps me as a customer is the phenomenal customer service Epson has provided thus far. I would (and already have) recommend this projector to anyone looking for one as a inexpensive yet effective way to setup a great home entertainment system.","name":"Great projector with oustanding customer service!"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Projectors/Home-Cinema/PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-Projector/p/V11H331020#review-20955912","datePublished":"2011-12-19","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I bought this projector for my home theater, I love it en I can watch with my lights on...","name":"Good"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Projectors/Home-Cinema/PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-Projector/p/V11H331020#review-20885573","datePublished":"2011-12-13","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"Very Good home and medium business projector.

The quality is amazing for a 720 unit. I figure I will use this for 3-5 years, and by then maybe the 1080p units will be out.

It makes a clicking sound similar to a computer along with the fan noise. This is not a problem when watching movies with the sound system turned up but, when watching normal TV, the clicking from the projector can be annoying. Just so you know, I am running a 120w/7.2 suround system and not relying on the projector to provide sound.","name":"Great Picture - Pro's & Con's"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Projectors/Home-Cinema/PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-Projector/p/V11H331020#review-17053324","datePublished":"2011-02-10","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I already have the Moviemate 60 and it is great!

I'm happy I did. I am projecting this on a 120' inch screen and must say the picture is second to none! Incredible to say the least. Everybody that comes over to take a look-see can't believe how good it is either. It was priced very reasonable, plus epson was the only one I found giving a 2 year warranty with the projector, all others were only one year. If this thing can hold up mechanically over the next couple years, I will never buy any kind TV set again. It will be epson projectors from then on.","name":"Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Projectors/Home-Cinema/PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-Projector/p/V11H331020#review-16856584","datePublished":"2011-01-20","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I pluged it into my computer and it worked!

Epson was very helpful and fair when this happened. The new 705HD has clearly been re-disigned for better operation. The bulb is less expensive and is rated to last longer. The fan pumps heat out the front, instead of sideways (onto the audience). The resolution is better. Although the fan is quiet, it is still a bit of a presence, which is the reason for not giving a rating of 5 stars.","name":"705HD Delivers"}]}
