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″.

  1. Our family would use this projector in the family room, but I would also use it to project a game board in the den!

  2. My family would use this projector definitely in the family room that has large walls and I would love to try it in the backyard.

  3. Sound quality and aspect ratio are a must for projectors. These are my favourite features.

  4. I’d love to set up a backyard movie night with this for the family, and would also use it in the basement!

  5. We’d use it in the living room (where we have a large wall) & also at our cottage rental in the summer.

  6. I’d love to create a Movie night in my area on PEI where I use the Mini Ef12 to project the movie onto the sand dunes at the beach, people would come with picnic blankets and air mattresses. The review by Andy mentioned using his phone for wifi and that’s an important choice for movies at the beach! The built in speakers have hatch design that is PERFECT for keeping sand out. 🙂 I’ve made a post under @GetWrecked on twitter. 🙂 Everyone enjoy your day!

  7. We would use it in the family room and on the deck in the backyard
    I like the fact that it sounds easy to set up and use

  8. I like the speakers Andy mentioned and also the small design and it being under 5lbs is awesome!

  9. I WOULD DONATE THE PROJECTOR IF I WON TO A NURSING HOME THAT WE HAVE BEEN VISITING FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. THE RESIDENTS WOULD LOVE AN OUTDOORS MOVIE OR AN INDOOR’S MOVE NIGHT IN THEIR LARGE GET TOGETHER ROOM.

  10. I would use this projector in the backyard with the kids to play video games on the side of the house! I would also use it when camping!

  11. I want to buy this for my wife as she likes to sit in various rooms of the house watching her movies. Then we could bring this to the cottage seamlessly to attach the gaming consoles on it.
