Review on πŸ“½οΈ Epson VS355 WXGA 3,300 Lumens HDMI 3LCD Projector: Superior Color & White Light Output by Brian Samuel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow. Seriously, WOW.

My situation: I didn't have a TV, but I have Revane Prime and Netflix. I live in a fairly small apartment that has some fairly large white walls. I wanted the projector mainly for daily viewing, mostly afternoons/evenings. So a workhorse that gets me through. Mobility wasn't a major issue, but I needed something I could easily take to a friend's house or take with me when I move house. For my situation, this projector is AMAZING. The brightness, color and clarity are amazing. During the day you can watch without direct light if what you're watching doesn't contain too many dark scenes. Otherwise I can lower the blinds 3/4 and everything is fine. I place the projector about 11.5 feet from the wall and the image is about 8 feet wide. This is madness. Focus: Manual. Very easy keystone adjustment: side to side is done manually and is very simple. Vertical auto, and so far it's going well. Brightness: slightly brighter and I think it will be too intense! Sound: There is a loudspeaker. sad. They probably didn't want to include it at all, but felt compelled to have something in it. You will definitely need an external audio source. I connect my Revain Firestick to the projector's HDMI port, and then connect a Bluetooth speaker to the Firestick. If your speaker has a remote control, you can control it with the Firestick remote. No microphone or Bluetooth jack for direct audio connection. Strange but okay. Size and Weight: It's bigger than I expected but for what it produces I have no complaints! I have a Plano Protector Series 1404 https://smile.amazon.com/Plano-Protector-Four-Pistol-Case/dp/B000P3WPKK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1545514122&sr=8-3&keywords=Plano+Protector+ 1404 in Found Goodwill for $1, it's great to wear. Fan noise: not optimal. The fan is a bit noisy, but that doesn't bother me, but it should be noted. And yes, the air it expels is quite warm. You could even say it gets hot if you leave your hand right in front of the vent. I am assuming that this bulb will get very hot. Internal OS/Software: This thing is pretty bare, so you'll need an external media source. It's probably easiest to use a Firestick, especially if you have Prime or Netflix. Great Features: I like that it has a convenient lens cap. So clutch. The button placket at the top can also come in handy. There is a small retractable stand on the front that drops down about 1 to 1.5 inches to adjust the height of the image. All in all, this item is excellent for my purposes and both my girlfriend and I love it.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Hard to say
