Epson PowerLite 1880 Projector, 4000 Lumens, 1024 x 768 Pixels Projector

Epson PowerLite 1880 Projector, 4000 Lumens, 1024 x 768 Pixels ProjectorIf you don't have the ability to create perfect home theater conditions then this is a great option for you! The 4000 lumens lets me project nice, bright images even in a well lit room at a 20' throw. The resolution is good enough for nice HD pictures, and the contrast works great for even low light scenes. (With my old projector I had to crank the brightness and contrast way up in order to watch movies with dark scenes, which makes the black colors look more grayish.)

The only practical criticism is that the projector could use more HDMI inputs, but I knew it only had one going into the deal. I use a switch on the HDMI inputs and for the most part it works well.

No matter what I tried I could not get my Windows 7 computer to recognize the projector via USB. Ended up using the VGA connector, which is probably better for my needs anyway. For a short while I had it connected to my home network and the LAN projection feature seemed to work nicely, even though I didn't really need it.

If this projector maintains its quality over time I can see myself buying another Epson when the time comes. I'm very happy with this 3 weeks into using it!
