Our Verdict

Epson Home Cinema 5050UB

KODAK LUMA 350

The Epson Home Cinema 5050UB is far better than the KODAK LUMA 350, but they serve different purposes. The KODAK is an ultra-lite projector and is meant to be extremely easy to carry around, while the Epson is a much bigger projector that is meant for you to permanently install it. The Epson has vastly better image quality. However, the KODAK is small and has more smart features, like an integrated Android TV OS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, cast capabilities through DLNA, and auto vertical keystone correction.
