Epson PowerLite High Definition LCD Mini Projectors, Black

School tech here...This is used in a middle school, mounted to a ceiling. The least tech savvy teacher has no issues using this. Even with crappy wifi, this thing connects. We have used several other projectors in this district and this one is by far the best. It's been in this classroom for 1+ years. I wish the district had the budget to buy one for all the classrooms. Hey Epson, would you consider donating any? (even refurb or used) Title I low income school district here. Would make a world of difference for the teachers lessons.

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. Unboxing of the projector provided many useful items I did not expect. It came with multiple cord configurations perfect for traveling on the go. It came with a portable carrying case which was very padded and provides superior protection. The remote itself is good size and has lot of useful functions. Once the projector was unboxed and setup it did have a bit of a challenge installing all the software. You need 2 programs or sets of install to have this function for my use. If you only install the wireless one your computer can not connect to the internet. It did take me some time to troubleshoot and fix this. The quick setup instructions should have been a bit clearer on this. Overall the design and button layout of the projector was great. The size and compactness of the projector is amazing. One of the things I did notice once the projector was turned off is that it almost immediately cooled down, so I didn't really have to wait to put it away. All in all, I would say this is an outstanding product that I would recommend. A+++

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. With that said, I still have free reign to say what I want about the device, without repercussion, so let me start by saying this: It's absolutely amazing. Epson has some truly junky products, but this is definitely not one of them. The size and feature set of the PowerLite makes it perfect for a professional to use for high-quality presentations during the day and LAN parties at night. While it doesn't include a built-in battery, the PowerLite does come with an especially long power cable, which makes it easier to find a convenient place to plug in. The screen color and resolution is amazing. You get some really great detail and sharp images with the bulb system the PowerLite uses, and the ability to adjust throw and focus is a piece of cake. Not to mention that it automatically adjusts your keystone settings and screen fit. I really hate having to deal with that sort of thing when I'm setting up a projector for a presentation, so having it done for me automatically is a great bonus. Now, this isn't some super-mini, hand-sized projector that is super portable and gives a decent image for its size. No, this is a laptop sized (a thick laptop), full-powered projector that gives a GREAT image despite how small and portable it is. Yes, it's going to get warm. Yes, the fan is going to be loud. Yes, the speakers are going to be sub-par. It's a projector; that's what they do. What you get with this particular one, though, is: 1. Portability, including its own case. 2. A great image, even in bright rooms. 3. Smart features for quick setup and go, including auto-keystone and super-quick wireless connection to a mobile device. 4. The ability to use smart-devices like Chromecast and Roku for entertainment. Seriously, if you need a portable projector and you're willing to spend enough to get a good one, this is what you need. The PowerLite is a great product that is made to be convenient for the user in every way possible. It's specifically designed to be set up and displaying your presentation in under a minute. It's smart, sexy and sophisticated as far as projectors go and I definitely recommend it.

Upon first look this seems to be just another desktop projector – thin and easy to carry, light and nice and bright at 3200 lumens. Connect the Epson Powerlite 1781W to your PC or laptop via an HDMI cable and now project your content to a much larger audience – but that's about where the similarities end. Setup the wireless networking and now you can connect wirelessly not only from your PC/laptop, but also from your Android or Apple phone or tablet! Project phones, documents, WEB sites or even your entire phone screen; all without the need to physically connect the device to the projector. Streaming video is a little laggy over the wireless, but is crystal clear over the HDMI connection. The built-in speaker isn't designed to overwhelm the listener, but it does a good job at recreating audio for a limited listening area. The projector also has the ability to auto adjust the image should the projector be moved. It does a good job and I've only had to make small, manual adjustments a few times. The adjustment can be made either on the top pf the projector, or using the handy remote control that comes with the device. The remote doubles as a wireless mouse and you can use it to control presentations with the need to be in front of your PC/laptop. The Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector is a very powerful, highly portable projector that will address both your personal and professional needs. The options are so numerous that trying to note them all in a single review is impossible, making real user reviews important for people like me when making a purchase. While I did receive this unit free of charge for my review, I truly believe that should you purchase this unit, you will find it as powerful, easy to use and flexible as I have!

I bought this several weeks ago. I've never used a projector before, but I found it very easy to understand. The clarity is stellar. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. I'm looking forward to taking this on the road with me for many presentations in the near future.

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. This is my first projector and I cannot be more impressed. The size is perfect to for taking from place to place (just a little thicker than your average laptop). The projector was easy to setup and I was up and running in minutes. Image quality is superb and the wireless function is one of the best features if this projector, sharing my phone/tablet screen was simple and there was almost no delay between my tablet and what was being displayed. An external speaker is a good idea but not necessary. I will definitely recommend this projector to my colleagues for anyone looking for new or an upgraded experience.

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I own a home based private preschool daycare business and I wanted a projector to use during orientation for new clients as well as parent conferences and family gatherings to show the children interacting with the learning materials and lesson plans used in my program. This projector is very easy to set up and user friendly. The slim design, only weighing 4 pounds, adds to it's portability and allows for me to transport it easily in its included canvas bag to use in any room or outdoor meetings as well as to take to my clients homes. I'm very excited about using it for various art projects and enlarging images to poster board and canvas. I think it will be fun to be creative and even have begun to create my own preschool curriculum utilizing this projector. Images are bright and clear even in daylight conditions. I can wirelessly project from my laptop, tablet, or smartphone which allows me greater mobility. The speakers are adequate but not overly loud. An external speaker can be added if needed. Image size is 30" - 300". Projection distance is 2.2' - 26.8'. It has a built - in fan to cool it, so you should expect some noise, but overall is a quiet unit. The USB connectivity is also great. I like the useful feature that allows to shut the lamp off temporarily without shutting down the unit. Good quality and lots of input options. It's display is sharp and bright. It boasts self focus and self-centering features, auto horizontal and vertical keystone correction, plus Screen Fit to quickly adjust the image to fit the screen, even if the projector is placed off center. I can share HD videos directly from my smartphone, tablet or streaming device (it supports Chromecast via HDMI, plus Roku and MHL-enabled devices). There is a small screw hole that could possibly be used for a tripod, but I have not yet tried it. As I previously mentioned, it comes with a canvas-like case but there is no padding or protection, so I added a few pieces of extra foam padding. It will easily mirror the computer screen. In Windows 10, you tell the computer to either duplicate the screen or extend the screen. I have not had any problems with this device, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a portable projector.  

“This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review." The Epson 1781W is a well rounded, thin-and-light projector, with good brightness and resolution, very good data and video image quality, and a wide range of connectivity choices. One of its few shortfalls is that as an LCD-based projector, it cannot project 3D content, which you can find in many portable WXGA data projectors such as the ViewSonic PJD6544w. But that only matters if you need to project in 3D. For its winning combination of features and performance at a reasonable price, the Epson PowerLite 1781W Wireless WXGA 3LCD Projector is our latest Editors' Choice ultra-light WXGA data projector.

I bought this to replace an older larger Epson projector. This units is very nice for the price It's about half the size of my old one, so the space savings is very nice. It's not as loud as some of the other reviewers indicated. It's not super quiet, but it has to have a fan to cool it, so you should expect some noise. Again, at this price point, I think the noise is acceptable. I use it to teach small groups and the noise is not a problem. Works as advertised. I'd buy again.

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1781W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I'm just recently received this Epson projector and stray away from the unboxing you can tell very clearly what differentiates this projector from the rest. It is very carefully and properly packed to ensure Safety and Security until it reaches the consumer. Setting up his projector was a true breeze. Firstly it comes with just about every single connector cable that you could possibly need in order to project whatever you need from whatever device you need. Plugging it in and getting it setup projecting my computer screen took about 45 seconds. The projector automatically scans all the input ports and automatically detects the correct source. Then it automatically adjust to whatever projection screen or wall that you have set up. It Auto adjust the angle and Keystone by detecting the surface and making it basically plug-and-play. The quality is crystal clear, and I really like the fact that I can adjust the focus if it needs fine-tuning from both the remote and the projector itself. Once we're on the top of the remote, just about every feature can be done from both the remote and from the projector itself. The projector comes a built-in adjustable stand to help project it at the perfect angle. It also has a easy shrink / enlarge feature to make it to the correct screen size. Another amazing feature that this projector has is it extreme easiness to connect to. You could connect it from either your computer or your network or even directly from your phone with their very easy to set up app. You can even connect it directly to your wireless network and projected wirelessly that way as well. To go back to the app Feature for a second, it allows you to project a mirror image of your screen enabling you to have the flexibility of projecting from whatever device you need. All in all this is a extremely solid and reliable projector that can provide for all your needs in every setting with its extreme lightweight, small size, and quietness. It even comes with a very convenient travel bag that holds all the necessary wires and remotes and makes it very easy to take it on the go.
