Epson VS250 SVGA Projector - 3200 Lumens of Brightness for Crisp, Clear Images

Joe: 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.

marlieann: 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.

Dylan DuttonDylan Dutton: 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...

Bryce Hawkins: Great projector as advertised the good seems very well built average size for a projector maybe a little on the smaller side. What I like the picture quality is good the brightness is good it will in my opinion satisfy most people especially for the price. I purchased a Chinese projector that claimed to be hd and had supposedly 3000 lumens none of that was true. This is exactly what it says. The bad there is no sound output and the speakers are not the best. Do not count on using them for outside or for presentations they won’t cut it. I am using my sound bar for sound at home and will use a Bluetooth speaker for presentations. This would be awesome if it had built in Bluetooth. None of the projectors in this class do that are made by a reputable brand so can’t fault it for that. Overall very happy and will not be sending it back. This is my second Epson projector if it last as long as the first it will be 300 well spent.

Omar: I have no complaints. It does its job. Projecting from 12ft out on my 100 inch screen. Noise isn't an issue for me. The fan is only noticeable in a dead silent room. Once my surround sound speakers are on the fan noise becomes irrelevant even when the speaker volume is low. For the price I think this projector is a good buy especially when starting out a home theater for the first time or on a budget.

Isaac Hernández Rodríguez: 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.

Maggie: So far, seems like a great projector for its price. Its user-friendly with a great projection (clear and bright). Its perfect for business meetings, and classroom and seminars where presentations with Powerpoint, excel spreadsheets and other graphics are displayed. I have not used it extensively, therefore I cannot give it a 5. I'll get back to you in a few months.

Billie: 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...
