Buying a more expensive projector means having all the great features. Well, this is not always true, proved by the Epson 8350.

Having this feature means you don’t have to move the projector to adjust the screen, giving you an excellent placement flexibility. Placing it will not be a problem, you can place it on the coffee table or at the bookshelf at the back of the room.

It also comes with a low noise fans, which means it has a quite operation and you can now focus more on the soundtrack while watching a movie or a video without having to cringe your ears with any annoying sounds.
While Epson Home Cinema 8350 has a lot of pros, it also comes with some cons, only if you compare it with more expensive projectors. Besides the lack of dark blacks mentioned earlier, it also lacks of CFI (motion smoothing feature), which is a nice feature. It also lacks the 3D support offered by many current DLP projectors. Well, this is not a major problem because not all people include 3D as an entertainment requirement. Some people only demand excellent quality picture. If you are one of them, I can suggest you to simply go for the Epson 8350, which already earn a lot of Editor’s Choice awards.
