Our verdict

A bright, simple meeting room projector that shows slides and spreadsheets clearly with the lights on. Resolution is WXGA, so it is not the choice for detailed home theater viewing.

Overview

Conference rooms and classrooms with the lights left on are where the Epson business projector fits, throwing presentations and video from laptops or streaming sticks. Three LCD chips build each frame, and a built-in speaker covers audio without extra gear.

High light output means a room does not need to be dark for slides to stay readable, and the three chip design avoids rainbow artifacts. WXGA resolution is the limit, softening fine text and film detail on a large screen.

Who it's for

Meeting rooms, training spaces and teachers who present with lights on get a bright, plug and play unit. Home cinema owners chasing sharp film detail should step up to a full HD model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Bright enough for lit rooms
  • No rainbow effect from three LCD chips
  • Two HDMI inputs for laptop and stick
  • Speaker built in
Cons
  • WXGA resolution, not full HD
  • No built in streaming apps
  • Wireless features not listed
  • Short warranty term

Performance notes

Three LCD panels show red, green and blue at once, so color and white brightness stay matched and there is no color wheel flicker. Light output carries the picture in ambient light, but WXGA pixel count limits how small text can get before it blurs. Streaming depends on an external stick plugged into HDMI.
