A great projector, like the light and versatile Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 laser projector, creates many entertainment possibilities. You could use it in the living room instead of having a television. You could move it around to other rooms or even outdoors. As you read this article and learn about the amazing projector we are giving away in this contest, think about how you would use it in your own life.

Epson projectors are more than just for occasional movie nights

I have owned several projectors over the years. When my kids were young, the projector would move from bedrooms to the basement to the outdoors … depending on who had a sleepover and many other factors. At that time, I had purchased a home office Epson, not knowing much about what my options were (this was before I started working for Best Buy!). Now I would be more selective, opting for the longevity and brightness of a laser projector. However, we had a ton of fun.

Projectors are easy to setup and simple to operate. The one we are giving away in this contest has built-in Android apps: simply connect to Netflix, Prime video, etc or stream from your phone. Epson makes it so easy. I encourage you to read the review and watch the review video that Andy Baryer did recently to learn about this projector so you can start to plan how you would use it.

Why I think everyone should own a projector

If you can have only one home theatre display, then I suggest you seriously consider making it a projector like the Epson we are giving away in this contest. Here are my top 3 reasons:

  1. Fits into the smallest apartment: projectors take up a lot less room than a TV, so even a tiny apartment has room for one.
  2. Creates a big image: you can’t imagine how much better a huge screen is when watching almost anything. Move the projector back a bit for an even bigger image.
  3. Feels like a cinematic experience: for me, watching a movie or sports from a projector feels amazingly immersive. Partly nostalgic, I’m sure, yet it doesn’t get old.

I’m not saying throw out your TV. Most home living rooms, family rooms, even bedrooms are great with a TV. And TVs are less washed out by bright sunlight. However, a projector like the one we are giving away is more versatile: take it anywhere. And no one ever planned an outdoor movie night with their huge 85″ living room TV. With a projector you can easily have a screen that’s well over 100″.

  2. Large Basement Bedroom
    Outside on Deck While in Hottub

    Another feature I really love was the sleep timer

  3. I would move this thing around from the backyard to the bedrooms it would be so nice to have portability.

  4. Looks awesme – we would use this on our dining room wall and down in our rumpas room, this would make either a total VIBE! would be great when entertaining 🙂

    • sorry for the double post, it said I posted a duplicate comment the first time I tried.. *thinking face*

  5. we would use this on our dining room wall and down in our rumpas room, this would make either a total VIBE!

  6. My family would use the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 laser projector in the backyard and in the living room on a regular basis!

  9. I’d use the projector at home to watch movies and I’d take it to family events to play movies for the kids.

  10. My hubby and I would use this in our backyard for all the kids, maybe take it camping or for family outings for everyone to enjoy

  11. I like that the projectors take up a lot less room than a TV and still creates a big image. I think it will still feel like a cinematic experience

  12. The Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 laser projector would be perfect in our living room or the back yard!

  13. This would be great to use in the living room then take it out to the back yard without all the fuss of moving a full sized TV

  14. Would be great for sports events in the living room and outside family movie night at the cabin

  15. We would use this in our living room and in our basement rec room …. the two most used spaces in our home.

    The Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 has two 5W Yamaha speakers built-in. The sound quality of the speaker is impressive and really adds to the cinematic experience.
    I would use this projector in my second bedroom as a home theater replacement. Secondly I would use this unit to hook up my phone and or laptop projected on the bigger screen.
