Third-party reviews

What customers like about Epson EH-TW6700W

  • High brightness (3000 lumens) suitable for rooms with ambient light
  • Excellent colour vibrancy and accuracy, especially in 'Natural' mode
  • Flexible setup with wide horizontal and vertical lens shift
  • WirelessHD functionality allows for cable-free high-definition streaming
  • Quiet operation, especially when used in Eco mode (24dB)
  • Includes decent 10W built-in stereo speakers for casual use
  • No 'rainbow effect' common in single-chip DLP projectors

What customers don't like about Epson EH-TW6700W

  • Black levels struggle to appear truly 'inky' compared to higher-end models
  • Lack of subtlety and detail in extremely dark or high-contrast scenes
  • Motion artifacts can become noticeable on high frame interpolation settings
  • The remote control lacks a backlight for use in dark home cinemas
  • Physical size is relatively bulky compared to modern compact projectors
  • Manual focus may require occasional adjustment depending on content

Verdict

The Epson EH-TW6700W is a Full HD 1080p home cinema projector featuring 3LCD technology that delivers an impressive 3,000 lumens of both white and colour brightness, alongside a 70,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Its standout characteristic is the integrated WirelessHD functionality, allowing for seamless streaming of 2D and 3D content without messy cables, supported by flexible installation features like a 1.6x optical zoom and extensive lens shift (vertical ±60%, horizontal ±24%). Main pros include its exceptional brightness suitable for rooms with ambient light, smooth motion processing via frame interpolation, and powerful built-in 20W stereo speakers. However, notable cons include its lack of native 4K resolution, occasionally underwhelming black levels in dark scenes compared to higher-end models, and the absence of a 12V trigger for automated screen setups.
