Review on Epson PowerLite 1781W WXGA Wireless 3LCD Portable Projector, Black - 3,200 Lumens Color Brightness, 3,200 Lumens White Brightness by David Romo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great picture quality but poor sound

It's very light and compact. Image quality is excellent and it puts out enough light to work well in a room with little ambient light. It's also easy to set up and connects to a laptop via USB, VGA and wireless. The wireless network function also allows you to connect your mobile device or tablet. My only gripe is that it gets a bit warm and its fan is pretty noisy. Also, the audio output is absolutely muffled and even in a small room you need another device like amplified speakers, if your presentation has sound. To make matters worse, for some reason the audio-out jack that's supposed to drive the amplified speakers doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I had all the right settings, but the projector just doesn't make any sound. The workaround is to simply use my laptop's audio output to drive a small, amplified soundbar, which works fine. Being a photographer, I am even more interested in image quality. to just use my laptop's audio output to drive a small amplified soundbar that works really well.
