First mid/high end projector - wow! July 30, 2010

This projector is really something else; if you haven't seen a mid-range projector in a few years, you're in for quote a shock. I'm using mine in a dedicated/light controlled media room on a 100" 1.1 gain screen. The image is really beyond what I expected, it's pretty incredible. A few things that I'll highlight (good and bad).
First off, the projector is white. Most media rooms are dark colors, so this thing sticks out like a sore thumb. A black/dark color would be much better. Also, this thing is BIG. If you haven't seen one in person, be prepared for how large these projectors are. It's not bigger than I expected, but it's a big device (and reasonably heavy), just be ready for it when you place your order. Finally, this thing (and all projectors) makes some serious heat. It's usually mounted on the ceiling, so not that big a deal, but you certainly wouldn't want this thing right behind you; it's pretty hot.
In my light controlled room, the image is almost too bright in normal mode; in "Eco" mode it's perfect. I've got about 17' of throw and a 100" screen; and I've never taken it out of eco mode; it's more than bright enough.
Overall, I'm very happy with it; I'll have to update this review in a few months (and give a more long term view), but, as it sits right now; it's a great device; truly breathtaking picture.. For the price, certainly a 5 star item.
Very Good but what about 3D May 24, 2010

This projector is very good
Good contrast, bright and definition
I had a Sanyo Z5 for 3 years, and the contrast of Epson is significantly better
I am afraid about 3D as we know, its necessary a 120Hz refresh rate in the projector
Specialists say that LCD projectors can't do that. Epson said in the past that this projector was able to do 120 Hz, but this argument disappeared from sites and advertisements after the 3D market boom
I verified that some users are trying to get 3D images from LCD projectors but I am afraid of facing hard difficulties to do this
If you don't care about 3D and want a very good image this is a very good product
I am waiting an Epson and other manufacturer's options to help people with LCD projector to get 3D, even with a worse image quality and 60 Hz refresh rate
I read some comments about lamp problems with Epson 8100. I am not sure about quality, but this projector is made in China ... Some of this category are made in Japan.
I must be honest - the image is excellent ... I recommend it ....
So time will tell me more about quality...
You wont be dissapointed May 20, 2010

I did quite a bit of research on this projector and a model from Panasonic. I ended up going with this one and I am thrilled with it. Avatar Blu-ray on my 100" screen is more stunning than it was in the theater--I saw details that I couldn't see in the theater. The colors are amazing! The THX mode and the black-level 2 modes have been perfect for me without any color-correction from me. The Settings menu is intuitive and easy to use. I haven't taken my projector out of eco-mode yet, and I don't see any need to. The picture is bright, crisp, color-accurate. The only less-than-perfect thing I have noticed is a very very minor amount of screen-door effect on white portions of the image only. I have to be looking for it to notice it and it doesn't distract me during a movie at all. Most all LCD projectors have the screen-door effect, so I don't really consider it a problem or a flaw--especially since it is undetectable most of the time.

We received our 8500 projector yesterday and it is fantastic. The best I have ever owned/demo'd. Right out of the box, the colors are beautiful, the blacks are intensly black, and its brightness is excellent and more than enough for both the 137" and 106" screens we tried it out on.
I have owned several projectors for quite a few years now (the infocus X1 and most recently the Optoma H79). Each impressed me in its time, but there is really no comparing either of these two to the Epson. I can't see how anyone could be disappointed in this purchase. It feels like it should be thousands of dollars more for the performance.
Last night, we watched Avatar, and to us, it was better looking than when we saw it in the theater (probably owing to the 3D presentation dimming the colors and blurring the action somewhat).
I'll rate this thing a solid 10. Could not be more happy with it.
Unbelievably happy March 28, 2010

I read reviews on projectors for two years before I purchased the 8500. I was all set to buy the previous years model and decided to wait. I sold Audio/Video for 5 years and have been planning my theater room for ever. The projector was a very important piece to me and I was very nervous. You can't seem to find anywhere that carries more than 2 or 3 projectors in a demo enviroment, and even when you do they are all in different rooms on different size screens playing different material. I basically bought this projector sight unseen based on the reviews from many of the websites. I have to say its actually better than the reviews say. I'm projecting on a 110" Dalite white screen. (gain 1.0)in a room with full light control. The projector has tons of light output and the clarity is amazing. You actually really start to notice which shows are fillmed very tightly focused (The Apprentice/Surviror) and shows that are filled a little softer (Burn Notice).
I also had the opportunity to try out the custoemr service. I had a small problem and as stated in reviews I called Epson told them the problem, they walked me through a couple of solutions they agreed something was wrong and shipped me a new one 2 day air. Did I mention I spoke to a live person each time I had to call with less than a 2 minue wait.
Regaring the trapazoid effect the other review mentioned. I had the same problem I realized on a ceiling mounted sytem you actually need the projector parallel to the ceiling, instead of aiming the projector at the middle of the screen. Use a level and make it level with the floor and ceiling and then use the lens adjustments to move the image around. It removes almost the entire effect. Final Comment. Buy this project you will not be disappointed.
