Verdict

The Epson EH-TW5400 is a compact 3LCD Full HD 1080p home cinema projector featuring a 2,500-lumen brightness for both white and coloured light and a 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Key characteristics include active 3D support, frame interpolation for smooth motion, and a versatile 1.2x manual zoom with horizontal/vertical keystone correction.
