Reviews last updated: October 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Epson EH TW5700

  • High brightness (2,700 lumens) suitable for use in rooms with some ambient light
  • Excellent picture quality with vibrant colors and high contrast (35,000:1)
  • Built-in Android TV and Chromecast for easy wireless streaming
  • Good placement flexibility due to lens shift, zoom, and keystone correction
  • No 'rainbow effect' common in DLP projectors thanks to 3LCD technology
  • Very quiet operation when used in Eco mode

What customers don't like about Epson EH TW5700

  • Fan noise is noticeable and can be loud when running at full brightness
  • Large physical footprint makes it less ideal for tabletop use or small spaces
  • Limited audio connectivity; only features a 3.5mm jack and lacks Optical or HDMI ARC output
  • Built-in 10W speaker is considered mediocre for a cinematic experience
  • Reports of HDR compatibility issues with certain external devices like Apple TV 4K

Verdict

The Epson EH-TW5700 is a versatile Full HD 1080p home cinema projector utilizing 3LCD technology to deliver an equally high white and colour light output of 2,700 lumens and a 35,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Key characteristics include integrated Android TV for wireless streaming, a built-in 10W speaker, and specialized gaming features such as dark gamma uplift and 21:9 ultra-wide mode compatibility. Its main pros are the vivid, lifelike colour reproduction, a long-lasting lamp life of up to 7,500 hours in Eco mode, and flexible setup options provided by a 1.2x zoom and vertical lens shift. However, some cons include a more audible fan noise when running at full brightness and the fact that its physical footprint is relatively large for a unit marketed as portable.
