Does the Epson 1040 have speakers?

Yes — built-in speakers handle casual audio for backyard movies and presentations, nothing audiophile but genuinely useful in a portable projector. For real movie nights, any soundbar or receiver connected via the audio outputs transforms the experience. The Home Cinema 1040 is convenience-first design throughout.

Siblings with a small gap — the 2040 adds slightly better black-level handling for movie nights, while the 1040 matches its brightness and sharpness for less money used. Both share the long-lived lamp platform. Movie-first buyers nudge 2040; value buyers happily take the 1040.

Is the Epson Home Cinema 1040 good for movies?

Yes — Projector Central praised its clear, sharp, noise-free video with excellent flesh tones and shadow detail in Cinema modes, and 3LCD delivers color brightness that competes strongly at the price. Fan noise under load is the main criticism. For a first home theater on a budget, it's a classic pick.
