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. We have an outdoor wall that would be perfect for movie nights, as well as a rec room where we could also project onto a wall.

  2. I’d use this projector in our basement where there is no electrical outlet on the best watching wall.

  3. Living around the nation capital, we’d definitely set it up for outdoor movie night on our deck and replace an aging TV in the basement for movies in the winter.

  4. I’d use it to replace my old tv in the living room and also use it in the basement

  5. I would definitely replace my TV in the living room with this projector and without the TV taking up space there will be so much more room for activities! I’d also take it outside to watch movies while escaping this dreaded heat.

  6. We would use it on the back deck (under the gazebo) and in the living room where we can all sit on the comfy couch!

  7. I would use it in our Living Room at the cottage as well as outside on a projector screen set up at the cottage and have a street party viewing, depending on the weather during the summer months. I have a theatre like popcorn maker machine, so I could serve up popcorn during the shows. (And those that drink, can walk over & bring their own beverages down the beach to our place.) Then I would bring it back home, and use it in our main house on the Living and Family Room Walls for the other months of the year. (Only microwave popcorn there)

  8. My family would use this laser projector in the basement where we have an outdated tv or bring it up to the cottage when there are hockey games on!
