Projectors > Epson Projectors

pro`s and con`s

Advantages: big screen size
Disadvantages: not hd so screen quality slighty lacking

my friend owns one and its a good buy for a cheap slighlty cinema experiance but you should avoid if usin in a small room as it generates a lot of heat an has a constant humming to it that makes you want to throw it out the window! so the pro`s are 1) the screen size can be changed to fit your wall/sreen or what ever up to something stupid like 90" i belive. 2)its fun for big multiplayer games e.g halo3, mario party 3) a cheap way to get a party/cinema ...
...your way an looks kinda smart the con`s are 1)not hd and when my friend bougth this it wasnt that big but now hd is so much cheaper an move availible it would be worth upgradin to an hd model if you have the cash 2)picture quality fades when the screen is made bigger so best to keep it about 60" 3)again its the heat it generates theres no need for heaters with this thing in your room 4)is rather difficult to install if you wish to wall mount it ...

Review of Epson EMP S5

Epson EMP X5

Advantages: Good price
Disadvantages: Low resolution

...to set this up and epson provided all the cables in needed. This epson website is also very helpful for driver and software updates. Even though this is not a DLP projector i think this projector meets its demands nicely and is a good price. Other products to consider would be the Optoma range since they also are very good. ...

Review of Epson EMP X5

Great, with a few hiccups..

Advantages: Great picture quality, especially from HD sources..
Disadvantages: few niggles, poor power connection

...back after a recommendation for optoma DLP projectors. Was also reasonably priced for a HD projection system. Have this hooked up to my PS3 though its HDMI connection at present and it works like a dream, the picture quality is amazing in HD. Watching Bluerays is like being in the cinema. It is possible to use during the day as long as it is not too bright and the projected surface is not in direct light. Have also connected via my laptop and the ...
...slight problem with the power cable, loose connection, however I got this replaced and has caused me no problems since. The projector has also kept telling me the bulb is reaching the end of its useful life, so I bought a new bulb. however it is still working 6 months after warning me. In my opinion it is a great little projector for home cinema use. ...

Review of Optoma ThemeScene HD65

Mini LED Projector with USB connectivity!

Advantages: LED bulb, quick on quick off, USB connectivity
Disadvantages: Wish it was offered in multiple colors

...that’s when I found the BenQ GP1. Of course, you can’t compare the performance between the GP1 and the HD20, but I got to say, for the price you pay for the GP1 and the size and weight of it, it really is an amazing mini projector. Although only with 100 lumens, it is 100 lumens of LED (RGB not white) lamination, and I must say if you compare it with standard LCD or DLP 100 lumens, the LED’s 100 lumens are quite a few multiples higher. And the device ...
...Another great thing is that the GP1, being LED, is able to have instant on/off capabilities, which saves a lot of time. And you can forget about changing bulbs, as LED bulbs will last at least 20,000 hours. The best part about the GP1 is that it comes equipped with a USB port and I also bought the extra adapter for iPod /iPhone connectivity so I could just plug in my iPhone and play movies onto the wall whenever and wherever I want. That’s the great ...

Review of BenQ Joybee GP1

happy owner

Advantages: see above
Disadvantages: see above

The Joybee is definitely my favorite and most useful tool I've come upon in a long time. In a world where portability is becoming more and more important (and I travel quite a bit), it's also gotten me through quite a few tough spots. I often carry it in my briefcase and use it on the road. I frequently put movies and sports on my flash drive and hook up my Joybee on the train to get through the commute and catch up on my football. One great example ...
...weeks ago. I was in a client's office and, instead of crowding around his 24 inch monitor to look through some slides, I pulled it out of my bag and we projected the powerpoint on the wall to the tune of about three times that size. The projection quality is great, the resolution allows you to read text easily and videos and slides look really good, and it's bright enough for pretty much anywhere not in direct sunlight. It doesn't hurt that you don't ...
