The one complication for setup is deciding whether to take advantage of the included streaming dongle. The projector's ports are all hidden on the left side behind an easily removable cover. Epson supplies two cables: one to connect the dongle to the single HDMI port, and another to connect to one USB Type-A port, which is limited to providing power for the dongle. However, there's only enough space between the ports and the closed cover to fit right-angle connectors, which the supplied cables use. Plug in a standard cable for some other HDMI source, and the cover won't fit.

In principle, if you want to use the projector for both streaming and for connecting to other HDMI sources—whether for switching between home and office use or between streaming and, say, a cable box—you can plug and unplug cables every time you switch, or you can connect an HDMI switch to the projector and plug the dongle and other sources into the switch. But in practice, changing cables gets tiresome, while adding an external switch makes the projector far less portable. So as a practical matter, you're better off using it as either a strictly smart TV for streaming or ignoring the dongle entirely, except, perhaps, for special occasions.

If you choose to install the dongle, its setup is standard for Android TV, with one exception. Unlike most Android TV dongles, Epson's includes a licensed Netflix app, rather than a clumsy workaround, and it comes already installed.

Missing from the CO-FH02's features is support for HDR or 4K input, and as is typical for inexpensive LCD-based projectors, there's no 3D support either. The 50- or 51-millisecond input lag (depending on the color mode) at 1080p, 60Hz—as measured with a Bodnar meter—is suitable for strictly casual gaming or for games that don't require quick reaction times.

The 3,000-lumen brightness rating would be enough to light up a 250-inch, 1.0 gain, 16:9 screen in a dark room, according to the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) recommendations. In my tests, using the lower-brightness Cinema mode and Eco power mode, the image was easily bright enough to fill a 90-inch screen even with lights on. In a family room with lots of windows, the same setting delivered a watchable but slightly washed-out picture in the daytime on an overcast day.
