Conclusions about the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020e LCD Projector
The Highlights
- Lots of light output
- Accurate color and grayscale after calibration
- Flat gamma tracking
- Excellent lens and screen uniformity
- Wireless HDMI adds convenience with five inputs
- No visible crosstalk and a bright picture makes for excellent 3D
My Wish List
- Lens shift would increase installation flexibility
- CMS still needs work to be truly useful
- Out-of-box color and grayscale performance could be better
Epson has always been a value leader with their front-projection models and the 3020e continues that tradition. This is the fourth generation I've reviewed and they just keep getting better and better. Making the wireless HDMI available in a sub $2000 model is another thing that sets them apart. Add to that prodigious light output from only a 230-watt bulb, excellent optics and decent color accuracy; and you have a winning product here. It's the little things that count and it seems every year, Epson adds just enough to stay ahead of the competition. You'd have to spend quite a bit more money to do significantly better. If you're on a tight budget, it'll be difficult to improve on the Epson Home Cinema 3020e.
