Just purchased new projector 
It is my first projector.
I tested it last night and it is awesome. The blacks are a little flat because the contrast ratio is quite poor, but for £750 it is ok.
Resolution : Full HD 1080p, 1920 x 1080, 16:9 (2D and 3D)
Technology : 3LCD
Brightness : 2,000 lumens Colour Light Output
Contrast Ratio : 15,000:1
Projection Ratio : 1.22 - 1.47:1
Image Size : 34 inches - 328 inches
Lamp : 200W UHE
Lamp life : 5,000 hours (normal), 6,000 hours (eco mode)
Zoom : Optical x1.2
Focus : Manual
Keystone Correction : Auto vertical ±30°, Manual horizontal ±30°
Energy Use : 287W (normal) / 217W (eco) / 0.31W (standby)
Speaker : 2W
Inputs : VGA, Composite Video, HDMI x2, USB A, RS-232C, RCA audio pair, Stereo mini audio out
Carry Case Included : No
I had been planning on getting the Epson EH-TW3200 for a few years, that model has lens shift, but it is very large and is getting quite aged now.
It looks like the Epson EH-TW5200 is from the same range as the EH-TW550 rather than the 6100 or 3200. This means that it is more of a gaming/pc projector than specifically for movies/cinema.
I'm currently projecting on to my wall and get about 130 inches diagonal. Once i've got the rest of the kit, the stand and the hdmi cable, ill buy a screen and take some video as well so you can see the quality.
I played some bf4 on it last night and it was impressive. Also played some bluray movies and ended up just watching a whole movie as couldn't look away, even though i was just meant to be testing it.
Ill update the thread once i get more sorted with some youtube example videos.
Current set up:
MSI AMD 7850 2gb
Yamaha RXV-467
Wharfedale Diamond 8 5 speakers (no sub)
Beyerdynamic DT770 pro (80 ohm)
