Very interested to see a review on this. Epson have started selling them on their website as of now I see. Hopefully AVF will get a review sample of all three!
I thought it was pretty positive given the price point.Doesn't look anything special from the review?
Hi mate, just wondering have you got the projector yet? Also interested in it and would like to hear some thoughtsI bought a 5210 from the Epson site about 10days ago, but they have no stock. Ended up cancelling and buying from German Amazon site and saving £50 from UK price.
Yes, it arrive quite quickly from Amazon.de. I'm very impressed. It's very quiet in anything but BrightCinema mode, and I didn't see the need for that mode, I run it on normal Cinema or Natural mode and it would appear that the fan noise is class leading.Hi mate, just wondering have you got the projector yet?

The Home Cinema 2040 (american version), on the other hand, has a very slight negative throw offset. When placed flat and level on a table, the bottom edge of the projected image is about 5% of the image height below the center of the lens. This can be both good and bad. On the good side, it allows you to put a bigger image on the wall since you can utilize more of the vertical space available. On the bad side, it means a ceiling mount will almost certainly require an extension tube.

Very happy with the picture quality, albeit I'm not as techy as most on here and I haven't had a PJ before, so have nothing to compare it to. I just display it on my white painted wall, I don't have a dedicated screen or anything.
I haven't tried 3D yet (don't have any glasses, unless my Panasonic TV ones work!).
One odd thing is that I site the PJ on a shelf at standing head height (1.8m), and at that height I have to tip the PJ significantly so that it displays on the wall, otherwise it is displaying half on the ceiling! I thought these things were built to project downwards as std as most people attach to ceiling. There is insufficient travel in the rotating feet to raise the back, so I built a custom angled stand. Do people just hang PJs from the ceiling at an angle pointing down?
