Epson was totally a game changer for us, because it opened the possibility to have a TRUE movie theater experience, raising the bar to a whole new level! Here is why the Epson Projector is a Game Day Must Have!
Hubby and son are pretty crazy about sports, we often entertain during football and basketball season! I used to think that my 60″ TV and my family room were the best, but not anymore!
Along with the Epson Home Cinema 4010, here are our tips for Game Day must haves so you too, can have that wow factor at your next party:
We upgraded our home theater with:
Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro-UHD Projector with Advanced 3-Chip Design & HDR
Here is what we love about it:
* 2,400 lumens color and white brightness
* AMAZING MOVIE EXPERIENCE
* 4K Enhancement
Here Is A Quick Upgraded Home Theater Preview:
We also enjoyed an amazing Movie Experience with Epson 4010
I wanted to add that we upgraded our home theater sound system to a sound bar, but will be sharing more about that on a later post:
Polk Command Bar
We also upgraded to a smart screen:
It’s a drop down screen, also mounted on the ceiling.
Let me start by saying you don’t need all the above to take the advantage of the amazing Epson Projector. But, adding the above accessories to the projector, for less than $600, you will find yourself immersed in the most amazing movie experience ever!
I know my jaw literally dropped the first time I watched a movie using this combo!
Now let me share how we did it, so you too can do it at home, by yourself!
Steps to the most amazing home theater DIY experience that you can “do it yourself”:
1 We bought a projector ceiling mount to ensure that the projector was going to show up on the screen properly, we calculated the distance using the EPSON site.
2 We also moved the ceiling fan electric supply box to now work as an outlet for the projector, by purchasing a new plate at a hardware store.
3 Next step was to mount the sound bar as well, we chose to place it behind us, not in front of us, so it would look better when the screen is not down.
4 We also bought an adapter to be able to broadcast video from our mobile devices through our WiFi system, we also connected our Fire TV through the USB port.
Final Epson 4010 look:
Step 5 in progress: We will purchase a new device to make the whole system Alexa enabled turning the projector and sound system just by using our voice!
We loved the final result! A home theater experience which will make me really ponder next time I think about going to the movies! Because I have it all at my home, just by using voice activation through Amazon Alexa on my sound bar.
Movie Theater Experience
Superior Game Experience
Last weekend we had friends over for the game day! It was gorgeous out! First, we had our tailgating experience on our deck, and a few of us decided that we were going to place a few bets on things like Betting America for sports betting iowa and other places. I mean what was the worst that could happen! Plus it made it so much more excited when people had a few dollars placed on their favorite team!
You can check my tips for hosting a stress free football party HERE:
Then we came inside to watch the game and they loved it so much! They couldn’t believe the quality of the image and sound! A true at home movie theater experience!
If you’re a huge sports fan, or you really enjoy movies in the comfort of your home, this is a fairly easy project you should consider! It will take your game day experience to a whole new level!! You will want to host viewing parties, even if your team is not playing anymore!! Trust me!
Next time, all you will need is to plan a menu that will be as much of a hit as your new home theater is!

Can’t wait to hear what you think, as usual, give us a Trendy Shout!

How fun to use a projector to watch all these big games this fall instead of watching on TV! I know so many people who would love to get their hands on one of these! Makes a great Christmas present idea!

I have a projector but have not used it in a while.I loved using it for watching movies and playing video games. I need to get a drop down projector screen like yours. I like the idea of mounting the sound bar too. I am going to show my husband how you have yours set up. Thanks!
Kathy
I have been wanting one of these forever now. This looks like a really nice one too. I need to look in to this.
Sara Welch
The Home Cinema would be really nice to have around for movie nights. Not to mention, it would be nice to have for game day too!
Brianne Manz

This projector is really cool. I’d love to watch some games and movies on that. I’m liking the ceiling mount setup!

Wow! This looks so great! I have our downstairs room that we need to convert to a media room since the kids are outgrowing the toys that are in that room. Thank you for the details so that we will know what to shop for!
