Epson - EMP-DM1
There's a convenient alternative to LCD or plasma widescreens, which gives you a much bigger screen for less money. Home cinema digital projectors are far from the dim, fuzzy picture-makers of a few years back and ...
The concept of the EMP-DM1 is great and for projection in an environment where you're not too fussy about picture or sound quality, it's a really convenient alternative to a TV. It's not an HD projector, though. For that you have to pay more than twice...

Epson EMP-DM1
The Epson EMP-DM1 is a projector and DVD player combination device. It can project at a native resolution of 854x480 which is a good resolution for st...
Great concept, well-designed, built-in DVD player, wide range of supported formats, good range of ports, integrated speakers
Poor image quality in HD compatibility modes, flyscreen effect when watching DVDs, not suitable for rooms with ambient light
The Epson EMP-DM1 is a great idea for a projector that doesn't quite hit it home. It has quite a few image quality problems but since it's so insanely cheap, it's a great projector for regular families that just want to watch their moves on a wall at...

Epson EMP-DM1
The Epson EMP-DM1 is a manageable size and would be a reasonable purchase as a projector to bring out on special occasions but the overall picture quality and lack of a lens shift feature let it down.
Carry case and handle for easy portability ; Built-in DVD player and speaker ; Dedicated stereo speakers ; Wide range of supported formats
No lens-shift ; Unstable aspect ratio ; Visible screen door effect ; Built-in speaker quality unimpressive
The projector is designed to be mobile. It has a handle on one side that neatly folds onto the projector's body when not required. Also, the EMP-DM1 has a sliding panel that protects the lens and manual focus dial when being transported.

Epson EMP-DM1: Home Entertainment Projector
Want to have mini-theatre at home? Find out if Epson measures up to the task
DivX playback via USB port, 8W stereo speakers, built-in DVD player, handle for easy transport
No PowerPoint support in USB mode, image quality is not great, projector screen is not wide
A 10 minute exposure to sunlight can power the device for a three minute phone call ..

EPSON EMP-DM1
Compact, Picture good within the lounge situation of up to 7 ft widescreen; integal DVD player,and zoom facility.
Sound output requires a sound system however basic to provide the matching cinema experience.

EPSON EMP-DM1
all in one product with the speakers and dvd player included so no messy cables to attach extras. Great product
I thought it was hd dvd compatable but was told that the HD dvds are no longer available so this is useless to the projector.

Epson EMP-DM1
Bought a DM1 to show educational DVD's in local prison where I work under contract. It is perfect for the job - light, easy to set up, speakers fine in moderate sized room and of course there are plenty of blank walls to screen onto. Since then it...

Difficult to keep everyone from borrowing it

Epson EMP-DM1
If it gives disc problems try switching off (and unplugging) the unit, then switching it back on. Also, don't rest a disc in the slot, as this tends to confuse the loading mechanism, leading to these problems.
Format support, built-in DVD player, and USB port
Built-in speakers' quality
