Verdict

The Epson EH-TW650 is a versatile Full HD 1080p home cinema projector utilizing 3LCD technology to deliver 3,100 lumens of equal white and colour light output, ensuring vivid images even in well-lit rooms. Key features include a 15,000:1 contrast ratio for defined shadows, a 1.2x manual zoom, and flexible setup options like automatic vertical and manual horizontal keystone correction for screen sizes up to 300 inches. While it offers convenient built-in Wi-Fi, two HDMI inputs (one with MHL support), and a long-lasting lamp life of up to 7,500 hours in Eco mode, main drawbacks include a lack of 3D support, no physical lens shift, and a single 2W speaker that may sound tinny for a full cinematic experience.
