Third-party reviews

What customers like about Epson EH-TW570

  • A picture up to 320 inch fills a large wall.
  • A thickness of 77 mm lets it slip onto a shelf or ceiling bracket.
  • Auto keystone correction sets the image straight without fiddling.
  • It can be mounted on a ceiling, so it stays out of the way.
  • At 2.4 kg it is light enough to move between rooms.
  • Stereo speakers and a phone app add a little extra.

What customers don't like about Epson EH-TW570

  • With one HDMI port, a second device needs a switch.
  • The 1080p/60 Hz input limit rules out 4K content.
  • Noise of 37 dB in normal mode is noticeable in quiet scenes.
  • The 2 W speaker is too quiet to rely on for film sound.
  • Standby power of 3 W is high when the projector sits plugged in.

Verdict

Only 77 mm thick, the Epson EH-TW570 can go on a shelf or a ceiling mount and still throw a picture up to 320 inch. The maximum size is its main strength, and auto keystone correction lines the image up on its own. The 3000 lumens and 1280x800 panel suit a room where the blinds are closed. Stereo speakers are there, but the 2 W output is quiet, and a phone app handles the settings. The trade-offs are the single HDMI port, which tops out at 1080p/60 Hz, and noise of 37 dB in normal mode. At 2.4 kg it is easy to move between rooms, and eco mode cuts the noise to 29 dB. It suits a home viewer who wants a huge picture and does not need loud sound.
