    Great projector
    5 Stars
    Great projector
    Update 12/20/2019: I called Epson and they sent me a free replacement lamp within 3 days. Works great again! The lamp's warranty had expired (90 days), but they sent me one free of charge anyway which was nice.Update 11/27/2019: It no longer works after 8 months. I only used the projector for maybe 100 hours. I'll call Epson to see if it's under warranty.I bought this projector to use in my bedroom with a casual setup. The image is very good, and subtitles are easy to read. The text is slightly granulated due to the resolution, but it isn't something that I notice while I'm watching.The color is pretty good too. I keep it on eco mode and I have no issue with the color or brightness. I have an 11 ft projector distance and the image is roughly 90 inches using a 16:9 ratio. One annoying thing about this projector is that it always projects at 4:3 ratio, but it projects pure black bars when viewing in 16:9. They really aren't that noticeable, but I would prefer if it didn't operate this way.The only other complaint is that there is no audio out. It has built in speakers, which are ok, but you need to buy an hdmi extractor to output audio to external speakers. Extractors are ~$20. I think that you can buy a wireless dongle as well for bluetooth speakers.The image definitely wont compare to a 4K tv image, but I think that the image is great for a budget projector. I have no regrets buying it.

    Style: VS250 - NewVerified Purchase
    I was nervous ordering 'only' the low res SVGA version of this VS250 for movie nights, especially with native 4:3 aspect instead of 16:9. If I was using this as a primary display I might be able to justify a higher expense, but based on my research you would have to spend quite a bit more in order to get significant improvements. Standing a few feet out the picture is very clear and has plenty of brightness. If you are right up near the picture and it is widely scaled it is a bit grainy, but not at all bad. Its more noticeable when projecting text and not nearly as much with games, video, or anything with a moving picture. All in all zero concern even in a moderately brightly lit room for video but you may need better resolution for a business setting. Colors and contrast are awesome. I had tried a 1500 lumen projector before this one and was underwhelmed. The speaker is not great so plan on using an external speaker. Im using my Creative portable blootooth plugged in via aux.

    Anyway, here are some pictures of this thing in action. For reference, this is being projected on to a beige wall from the opposite side of the room. I am 100% happy with this purchase and have a screen on order to use outdoors when it gets warmer again.

    Purchased a cheap projector around $100 and was not satisfied. This piece is around $300 and it brought me more than five times satisfaction than the last one.

    Pro:
    1. High quality. I knew it even before I turned it on. Just feel it in your hand and touch the surface make you happy. The focusing adjusts knob and the lens cover are all well-designed and built. Even closing and opening the lens cover gives you satisfaction.

    2. Brightness and color: Very bright. Won't be a problem if you wanna use it for business occasions. Color is vivid. Works perfectly in the living room with some light on for a movie night. I guess it would be the same case for daytime with curtains off.

    3. The fan is very quiet compared to my previous projectors.

    I attached a video and pics. Video is compressed when uploading to Amazon but pic should give you a better idea. The desk is a small ikea desk so you would have a feeling of the size.

    Con:
    I am 100% happy with it. But if I have to point out some cons, here they are.

    1. Mounting thread seems to be 1/4 thread which is not the universal 6mm thread. So put it on top of a tripod might be an issue.

    2. Resolution is 800 x 600. For me, I think it's more than enough for most streaming videos. I appreciate brightness and color over resolution.

    3. No audio output port. You can only input audio to the projector's speaker through their audio port which I assume won't be quite powerful. So keep that in mind if you wanna design your own home cinema. I would get a smart tv box anyway, so not a problem for me.

    4. No wireless function for my VS250. So you cannot directly do fancy stuff like wirelessly mirroring your cellphone to the projector. The starting menu does show a wireless setup function but I guess that's for more advanced version of Epson. But again, getting a smart tv stick with <$100 should do the job.

    Love this projector so much. Recommend for home theatre and business occasions.

    Based on reading many of the reviews on here, I was expecting to need auxillary speakers. However, I had to actually turn the speakers down to get the volume! The audio quality was clear and perfect for indoor use.

    The light quality for both color and black and white was great. The only ding (lost one star for picture quality) was that when the figures are in motion on the screen (e.g. gorilla climbing a tree, basketball player dribbling down the court - yes, I viewed both), there was some minor blurring that occured. It did not happen with all objects in motion, just with some. This is not over $1000 so I was not expecting supre quality and from the reviews this level of minor blurring was something I expected. Just letting other know.

    I look forward to enjoying many more movies/games with my family with this decently priced projector!

    You’ll have a tough time finding a better projector in this price range. Impressive brightness. We didn’t have drapes in the room at first and it was still clearly viewable. Very sharp and clean picture now with drapes and a darker room. We have it ceiling mounted in our Master Bedroom with a downrod dropping it just below the ceiling fan. Had a power drop installed and then all we had to run was an hdmi cable (goes to surround sound media hub as we wouldn’t depend on speakers integrated in any projector).

    Only oddity is that sometimes out of the blue it will just go black and not project anything for about 2 seconds. Not really all that often, the sound continues and it comes right back. Just weird.

    We bought this for outdoor movies and have been very pleased with its performance. We have used a 15x12 ft white canvas drop cloth for a screen and the images look great at that resolution. Very easy to use. Can be hooked up to almost anything. The only downside to this unit that I can see is no audio out on the actual projector. So if you hook up an HDMI cable straight from a DVD player you have no easy way to put that audio on an amplifier. We use this projector with a FM transmitter for the sound. This allows us to put a stereo anywhere in the yard and broadcast. You can also sit in your car and listen with this transmitter. Great combination for outdoor entertainment. We have experimented with a 24-ft wide screen and it looks like that will work well in extremely dark environments. On the 15-ft wide screen even with a lot of outdoor lights and a good size fire the images are still outstanding.

    Amazon Service – I tried the 1080p native Bomaker but the quality did not meet my expectations at all. I returned with absolute no issues. As usual, everything is solved immediately with Amazon.

    Epson VS250 – This is a serious brand with a fantastic low budget projector. I compared with my other 720p from Epson and also with my old but expensive Acer DLP and the quality is very similar.

    This is definitely the best product you can get at this range of price. All the necessary options are there, the kaystones work well (automatics and manual) and the colours are great.

    Asian brands - (Bomaker and this applies probably to Vankyo, Aperman…) show all these high resolutions, lumen, contrast and infinite lamp life but the quality and functionality is not even close in any capacity to the (800 x 600) from Epson. Who knows where these other brands will be in 2 years? Trust me I tested everything. The fan is near of having a vacuum next to your ears, the keystone will alternate your image terribly so it is useless. The 1080p units are huge and if you don’t have the perfect position, it is impossible to get a good focus. It is only good if you use it right in front of your wall and with external loud speakers.

    Conclusion:

    If your budget is around $200 and you are planning on getting your first projector go ahead with 720p Vankyo low budget projectors at around $100-$180. Units are smaller and at least you can manage to put them in the right position with a tripod. Colours are very standard but acceptable if you use it in a very dark room.

    If your budget is around $300, do not hesitate and go for the Epson-VS250 and get a real projector. The fan is silent, the brand is very known so you will find your replacement for bulbs very easy after a reasonable 5000 hours of use.

    (I have more than 3000 hrs on my old Epson 2600 lumen and when I put it next to the Bomaker “6000 lux” the Epson was so shiny that you could barely see what the Bomaker was projecting)

    Este proyector lo escogió mi hermano porque sinceramente desconozco, como imparto clases en una escuela donde tengo que pelear por los pocos proyectores funcionales, me decicdí a comprar el mío, cuando impartí mi primera clase me gusto mucho, porque NO tuve problema alguno, a pesar de ser de día, la imagen se veía claramente, además de que cuenta con control y salida de audio.

    Estoy encantado con mi proyector, porque la calidad de mis clases ha aumentado.

    We needed a new projector for work and this has been exactly what we've needed! We needed something on a budget and this was perfect. Picture is super clear, it's easy to use and comes with a handheld remote.
