EpsonEpiqVision Flex CO-W01 Portable Projector, 3-Chip 3LCD, Widescreen, 3,000 Lumens Color/White Brightness, 5 W Speaker, 300-Inch Home Entertainment and Work, Streaming Ready

The media could not be loaded. Okay this does mis advertised as built in wifi. The company said that it's not true, however, it is true and I was able to find the wifi on my network after disabling AP Isolation in my router settings. I reset everything as I honestly don't know much about setting up a network.I use my Amazon Fire TV stick 2nd generation and plug the USB into the device, and it doesn't overheat as it does when plugged into the wall circuit with a plug.Optimal settings.. eco mode, rgb color, and on the streaming device, color up to 12 bits, disable HDR, and auto everything else. I did set it at 1080p 50hz , not 60 and the results are amazing, with no latency while watching media. Does not get hot anymore when used on ECO mode.Disable CEC mode in FIRE TV as it allows Epson remote to control it, and noticed the channels being changed without me doing it. CEC allows a remote to control the other device.Would like to see more guided tutorial about the LAN feature that is sold separately and costs 120usd the elpap11 is the one that is compatible and is used to only display IMAGES, not live content like video. Used more for business and school situations.HDMI EQ setting I used option 1, as it worked best for my environment. You may need to test them all 1-3 out for personal preference. The HDMI EQ (Equalization) setting on a projector is used to fine-tune the signal strength received from devices connected via HDMI.* Purpose:* Improve Signal Quality: It helps compensate for signal degradation that can occur due to long HDMI cables, signal interference, or issues with the source device.* Resolve Display Problems: If you're experiencing problems like flickering, no image, or distorted video, adjusting the HDMI EQ setting might help restore a stable and clear picture.The listing advertised this CO-W01 PROJECTOR as having ZOOM for video meetings. It doesn't have ZOOM video calling app, it has the feature ZOOM in, and ZOOM out for enlarging and decreasing the view area. Maybe have Epson prepare the content for Advertising. The Epson employee did say this (built in wifi) is incorrect as to what is being advertised. Initially, I did try to return this projector and couldn't, no idea why. However, Epson said if I provide my receipt of purchase near the end of warranty, I they would switch it out or something (I forgot specifically) . I did register this product and Epson rep said I didn't have to, as this is a basic projector with no updates.I definitely recommend this projector to anyone as the picture is amazing it has 3000 lumens and is HD high definition displaying at 1080p and I was able to confirm this by viewing the projector status within the projector settings. I did try GOOGLE Chromecast HD, and had a yellow tinge, and kept asking me for my passwords, and I think I have to fix the settings, but gave up as this was too time consuming and I'm decent at figuring out these things.Mirroring my phone: using Fire TV, I successfully mirrored my Samsung phone using Samsung smart view feature.FIRE TV has option for Apple products as well to be mirrored. My Android phone projection was great, as it showed text with clarity.Using the zoom and native resolution settings, I effectively mirrored my phone to my liking. I get eye strain from using my phone and mirroring it makes it better for my eyes.I use this in daylight and it's very bright. At night, it's even more brilliant in terms of enhanced visuals. If you're looking for a projector where it has a streaming service, and wifi that you can easily access, then consider their other model. I paired my JBL ear buds to my FIRE TV STICK flawlessly and noticed without that, using the setting to source the audio out to A/V is best and could be heard better, although that's dependent on the audio used for the content as they all differ. Great basic projector. I will next be looking into the mini EF laser one if I decide to upgrade.

I tried couple of foreign budget brands after watching so many YouTube reviews but none of them impressed me.There is a reason why Epson,Benq .. etc are top brands. I liked the epson- co-w01 instantly.My observation:Anker solar 1080p projector: worst image quality I have ever seen. Videos are completely washed out- no colors, pale skin tones, no contrast, dull light. 300$Happrun: it’s no. 1 selling on Amazon but I didn’t like it at all. Edges are blurry, colors & contrast not good, not enough brightness. <90$Nexigo-pj40: edges are slightly blurry, colors over saturated, too much contrast that you can’t watch hdr movies as anything in the shadow or black is completely black. I don’t see faces of people in dark scenes. Not at all watchable. YouTubers gave rave reviews:( <250$***Epson: co-w01: 300$Pros:bright image even in eco modeSuper colorsGood contrast ( some reviews complained about contrast but compared to other products in this range it’s good)Very low fan noiseReliable brandCons: you see some gray bars in top and bottom as this has slightly different aspect ratio but I’m ok with itBulb life is less and not replaceable. But 12k hours life in eco is good for me.Just 1 hdmi and 1 usb port. No aux port.I’m using fire tv stick with hdmi input and usb port to power the stick. Connected BT speaker to fire tv. All set to enjoy 100+ inches screen.

may 2025 update: still the best image i could ask for at this price. holding up much much better than my DRJ and generic brands ive had previously. integrates into my theater flawlessly. highly suggested!use this as my tv in the living room. mounted to the ceiling with epson mount. source is a chromecast 4k to a marantz nr1750 to the projector. gets an amazing and vivid image and i cant complain. my friends that are more into video (i am an audio guy and dont care about video resolution) have told me this is better than their "cheap amazon bulk brand projectors" by a lot. ive had a half dozen of those cheap $50-100 projectors and they are all fine for what you pay, but you step into the legit brands like epson and you start to get a legit experience. highly suggest this or any epson model for your viewing needs. mine is part of a home theater and has been used daily since purchase. will update if issues arise.

bought this to replace an Acer projector that the chip went bad in. $299 on sale , we use a dvd surround sound player setup with speakers and all connected to the dvd player, single hdmi cable going to projector takes care of video and sound. have not fine tuned the picture setup yet, will play with it more to refine it more hopefully, but the picture was good quality. Tried the cheap chinese " 1080p " projectors, don't waste your $ on those, the picture quality suck...this one is pretty good

Please don’t judge the quality of the picture based on my picture. It’s great quality on a white wall or even tight sheet. My wall is dark blue and textured. The thing works great. Well worth the extra money.

This is completely awesome - there is not a whole much more to go past this resolution - easy to install - nice design - image outstanding - my only If - a little bit louder fan noise but i use it to listen to music so no harm done

Blown away! I'm a projector snob, I've owned over a dozen and for the price, this is the best one. If you're looking to just have a projector to plug a firestick into for movies and TV, this will far exceed that. Picture is very bright and it can easily be seen during the day, in my living room with the blinds open and direct sunlight. Can't recommend this enough.
