Epson PowerLite 1770W Multimedia Projector, WXGA 3000 Lumens (V11H362020)

I should say that I love Epson projectors. I bought this for my office because I own a 8100 at home that I adore.

Pros:

-Cheap for office portable widescreen HD projector

-Light and portable

-USB video works well (although only in "Mirror" mode on a Mac).

-Pretty bright in non-eco mode.

-Widescreen

-Auto-keystone correction

Cons:

-Non-eco mode is VERY loud. Unusable for a conference room.

-Eco mode isn't that bright....

-Auto-keystone correction isn't perfect it often over compensates making the top narrower than the bottom.

-Image appears somewhat bowed when used at wide end of zoom.

The size and weight make this very practical. People are amazed when they see it. I did have a problem with it overheating and shutting down the first couple of times I tried it, and customer support felt there must be something wrong with it. But the problem went away after a few uses. One other point is that Epson touts the USB method of connecting to your computer because it has a lot of advantages over the old VGA connection approach, but the USB connection does not work if you have a Mac with Lion as your operating system. As of yesterday customer support had no information on how long it might be before Epson would have this software upgrade ready. The USB approach works fine on my PC it's just the new Mac OS that it can't handle.

So, nice performance, very portable, but a couple of little glitches make me rate it a 4 instead of a 5.

The unit is very nice. Has a rather loud fan, compaired to other units I have had. It quickly and automaticly adjusted the video signal to match the computer output, which is great!!! Having owned several units (NEC, Infocus, etc.)this unit has the most for the money. The only issue I had was the unit was sent by Computer Brain, and it appears this unit was either a display unit or had been used in the store. The repacking of the unit was very obvious, and there was stuff on the lens and on the unit case. This was not listed in the discription of the unit. However, Computer Brain sent it very fast at a good shipping rate, and sold it at a good price. The unit works fine, I just needed to clean it.

This is an excellent projector overall, but it has a disappointingly poor audio speaker that is weak and has poor frequency response outside the mid (vocal) range. Except for this, it is an exceptional piece of gear. Just route your audio to some external speakers.

It is small, light, has all the basic hookups, multiple USB modes (computer, flash rive, device, camera, etc.), VGA, HDMI, RCA Video/Audio. Short throw, limited zoom, superb color out of the box, excellent sharpness, a great overall image, perfect for presentations and very good for movies/video in ECO/Theater mode.
