Summary: Epson Projector
Review: After months of pricing and feature comparison's, I opted for the Epson 71c LCD projector, since it was the best priced XGA (1024x768)projector available. There are less expensive models with lower resolution (VGA), and other XGA models that go as high as $14,000.00! Factors to consider are: Lumens (brightness), resolution, video inputs (VGA/SVGA/S-Vid/HDTV), lifespan of the bulb (hours), and cost of the bulb (replacement bulb for this model on the internet is [price range]). The most common application for projectors are business presentations, so if this is your use, the weight may be important. I have an HDTV tuner card and a DVD player on my home PC, so connecting the Epson to my home PC turned my living room into a High Definition Theater! You can connect directly to your PC or, as I did, use a SVGA cable splitter. With the splitter, I can use the regular monitor without using the projector in order to conserve the lamp life(rated at 1500 hours). The Epson can turn the image upside down, if you need to mount it from the ceiling. Keystone correction compensates for an angled projection by turning the trapezoidal image back into a rectangular image. The unit has functioned flawlessly(got it in January 02). Since I have not used other projectors, I can't compare it with other units; but I have no regrets with this product. Ordering thru Amazon.com was convenient and painless, no sales tax, and free shipping!
