EpsonEpiqVision Mini EF12 Smart Streaming Laser Projector, HDR, Android TV, Movies, Family Gaming, Portable, sound by Yamaha, 3LCD, Full HD 1080p, 1000 lumens Color & White Brightness Bluetooth Black

The Epson EF12 projector is nothing short of phenomenal! I’ve been searching for a compact projector that delivers exceptional picture quality without sacrificing portability, and this little powerhouse checks every box.First off, the image quality is breathtaking. With its Full HD resolution and Epson’s 3LCD technology, colors are vibrant, details are sharp, and the brightness is perfect even in rooms with some ambient light. Watching movies on this feels like having a mini cinema at home!The built-in Android TV and Yamaha speakers make this projector a complete entertainment hub. Setup is incredibly simple, and you’re streaming your favorite shows or casting from your phone in minutes. The sound quality is surprisingly robust for such a compact device—deep bass, clear dialogue, and no need for an external sound system (though you can add one if you want).Portability is another huge win. Its sleek, cube-like design is lightweight and easy to move, making it perfect for movie nights in any room or even outdoors. Plus, it’s quiet during operation, which keeps you immersed in whatever you’re watching.Epson has truly outdone themselves with the EF12. It’s a perfect balance of innovation, quality, and convenience, making it a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their home entertainment experience. Five stars aren’t enough to express how impressed I am. Don’t hesitate—this is worth every penny!

This projector is exactly what I was looking for. I tried the sub $200 projectors but they were not bright enough. I tried the EF-100 and the brightness was amazing but the picture quality was not great once the screen got above 70". This EF-12 is the best of both worlds and the charry on top is that the sounds quality is quite good for the form factor. I planned to use this projector as my primary home theater display and also use it for family movie nights out in the back yard. It has been to cold and snowy outside to do the latter but the use of the projector as my home theater display has been nothing short of amazing!Pros:1. Brightness is high enough to cut the most well lit rooms2. 1080P quality is great for the price point3. The speakers get quite loud with great clarity4. the cooling fan is very quiet.5. The auto focus is fantastic6. the remote is bluetooth and is very responsive7. the standby to full on is very fastCons:1. The throw distance is shorter than i expected for a 100" display (This is affects where you place it in the room)2. The ceiling mount is sold separately (I have seen reviews where they got it in the box but this was not the case for me)3. Bluetooth does not work to connect to external speaker. (Like i said the sound is good but to center the sound it would be nice to be able to connect a bluetooth soundbar or similar)4. In very bright environments the picture does get a bit washed out.Conclusion:This was a great purchase however i would have opted for the EF11 (Same display specs without the yamaha speaker) if it were not for the sale that made the EF12 the same price as the EF11. Bottom line is the picture is fantastic and the sound for the EF12 is very good.

Purchased this with the hope of using it at trade shows, but also make use of in meetings and presentations. It’s easy to use, dependable, but really needed a brighter output for trade show use.The sound is outstanding and loud enough to fill a medium size room. Very nice compact projector.

This projector is easy to set up and easy to use. The picture comes out clear and the speakers produce a good sound. Very portable. Great for movies and karaoke.

This projector had everything that was advertised and works really well for a small apartment. The speaker system is pretty decent and with additional bluetooth connectivity, there is the option of switching to wireless headphones. There is great portability so it makes it easy to move this unit between rooms and the installation is hassle free. The picture quality is pretty great and the viewing experience is very nice in low light conditions. The intensity is 1000 lumens and that affects viewing as one would expect in moderate to well lit viewing conditions.However, what prevents me from giving it a 5-star are the following two aspects-1. There is no Netflix! That is a big minus as the purpose of having android TV is moot if you cannot access all apps that a conventional Fire stick or Roku device can do. Amazon Prime, Peacock, ESPN, Hulu, Disney+ all work really though.2. A zoom function would have been really useful, as currently, the best way to adjust picture size is by adjusting throw distance.Other minor aspects-1. Lack of lens protection2. Keystone function is average at bestThis is my first projector so I don't have a lot of experience in this field, but the overall viewing experience has been better than what I had envisioned.

Love the color, the image, the easy set up. Only had it for a week but so far so good. Hopefully it is as durable as is colorful. The only gripe I have is with the remote control. it doesn't have a way to select the Bluetooth device to connect to external speaker. It could not be done from the unit itself either. Not sure how to do that. Area of future improvement: 1. attach a handle to the unit for easier carrying. 2. provide carrying case for portability 3. have a manual 1.7 magnification adjustment knob to zoom in/out 4. built-in microphone on the remote control to do voice command instead of blutooth connect to an external google or amazon speaker/mic device 5. increase lumen to 2000 instead of 1000. 6. bult in battery to make this truly portable that could operate this device for 4 hours. I would pay $300 more for all these improvements. For now I 'm happy about this unit's picture quality and hope for a version 2 of this great projector.
