Shiny New Thing to Review: Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3500 3D Projector

December 14, 2015 John Obeto

There are those times when a 70-inch television set just won’t do.

My kids’ newfound, and increased, familial and social networks, have made this plain.

As a result, a projector is needed.

In this case, a Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3500 2D/3D 3LCD projector

Since I asked nicely, it came with a 125” 16:9 motorized drop-down projector screen, a Sony home theater receiver, and a Bose 5.1 surround speaker system.

I have had it set up. A 3D Blu-Ray player, an Xbox One, an Xbox 360, and HDMI cable box are connected to the home theater receiver.

Disappointingly, the speakers have an incompatibility with the legacy in-wall wiring, so I am awaiting a time when the installer can come by to fix that.

A promise made to my kids was that they would get to have their own home theater setup, so this is their current setup for the duration of this review.

Hmmm… I wonder if I could try creating my own sort of HALO room using this setup combined with the Logitech ConferenceCam Connect….

This entire projector/home entertainment setup is an ongoing review series for a home automation company* based in SoCal. Projectors and multimedia equipment will be rotated out as they see fit. I will post my reviews here, and a more detailed series to their website, if I have the time.
*The company is owned by my brother.
