Our Rating :
Price when reviewed : £899
inc VAT An outstanding projector with brilliant 3D, but it's comparatively quite expensive
Specifications
1,920×1,080 resolution, 2,100 ANSI lumens, 137x420x365mm, 6.0kg
[/vc_column_text]
Running costs are a little higher than on budget projectors, although not too bad thanks to the lamp’s rated lifespan of 4,000 hours at full brightness and 5,000 hours in ECO mode. This works out to around 6p and 4p per hour respectively.
Overall, the Epson EH-TW5910 is an outstanding projector, but our main concern is the price. At just under £900, it’s £100 more expensive than the equally brilliant Optoma HD25 and doesn’t come with a pair of 3D glasses like the HD25 does. This just edges it out of Best Buy territory, but if you’re particularly susceptible to the rainbow effect produced by DLP projectors, then the TW-5910’s 3-LCD technology is the clear choice.
