Epson VS250 SVGA 3,200 lumens color brightness (color light output) 3,200 lumens white brightness (white light output) HDMI 3LCD projector

I love Epson but this projector is substandard. The styling is excellent and it feels like a solid machine. The controls and features are easy to understand, it has good color fidelity and it has a nice slide door to manually screen out the projector light. But the image quality is poor when it comes to displaying text. I compared this projector with the ViewSonic PJD5155 3300 Lumens SVGA HDMI Projector and it wasnt even close. I placed them side by side about six feet from a screen and manually focused both to make sure they were tack sharp. The ViewSonic, at the same price, is light years better in image quality and sharpness and the audio is slightly better with a better bass. True, the ViewSonic looks clunky compared to the sleek Epson, but this is all about image quality. Sorry to say, if you are presenting PowerPoint slides with 14 pt. text, do not get the Epson VS250 or you will be disappointed. Get the ViewSonic PJD5155 for the same price.

Install Flash Player Super happy with this projector! I also tried an Optoma projector of the same price. There was no comparison. This Epson is sharp and focused from left to right and top to bottom. There are plenty of picture adjustments to make it to your preference. It’s super bright and the colors are great. I have it on my wall in my bedroom. I haven’t measured it, but I’d say it’s about 9 feet wide. I have the audio from my Blu-ray player hooked into my stereo receiver. Just stereo sound. The speaker on the projector is fine but I’d recommend using a stereo. NOTE: this projector does not have an audio out for headphones or to plug into a stereo. You have to hook audio from your Blu-ray or DVD player to a receiver and run a separate cord to the projector for picture. I’d recommend doing it that way if you want a movie theater experience. But the speaker on the projector is fine if you’re not picky. I’m completely happy with this product.

Hung up the projector, not even thinking to see if there is an external jack for speakers (who would make a projector without an external port?????) sure enough you CANT plug in external speakers!!!!

Purchased the VS250 after returning a pico projector. The pico projector wasnt bright enough for presentations or a home theater. The room had to essentially be pitch black, and even then it was dim. Not the VS250. It is very bright, even in daylight, and the colors are vivid and the picture is clear. Im using it along with a Verizon Fios DVR and the quality of the picture is really good. I have the projector about 11 ft away from a white screen and Im sitting about 6 feet behind the projector. Is the picture as good as my 50" Panasonic plasma tv? No. But the Epson holds its own and for the price, and considering how large the image is on the screen, Im very happy with the results. The small speaker in the projector is OK in a pinch, but youd be much better off using external speakers.

I am writing this review in the event I can help someone understand how to play movies through their iphone: you cant! The main reason I purchased this projector was because I wanted the kids to be able to have friends over to watch outdoor movies. I was under the impression that I could play netflix or prime video movies through my phone if I connected an AV lightening adaptor. When attached, I was able to project my phone screen through the projector but I was unable to project a movie - the screen would go blank. I read apple reviews that indicated it could possibly be an ios issue, so I went to an apple store and talked to them about it. I was told that because of some propietary reason, movies will never be able to be projected from an iphone, but they can be projected through Apple TV. Long story short, I bought Apple TV and a 4K HDMI cord, set it up to the projector in about 10 minutes, and was able to watch netflix without issue!

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.

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 isnt something that I notice while Im 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 arent that noticeable, but I would prefer if it didnt 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.

I bought this for outdoor movie watching, and its pretty much plug and play. It was recommended as the projector of choice by an outdoor theatre guys guide I found on the net. As Im no expert, its perfect, the functions are relatively simple to identify and use. There are a number of ways to connect, but I read that the gold standard is HDMI for the digital content - so I used the projector in conjunction with my mac laptops using a belkin display port to HDMI connector, as well as a USB C to HDMI connector (this one was made by Apple and I prefer it). The projector is bright enough to watch without it having to be pitch black which is ideal, and the price seemed reasonable for the specs it offers. Im looking forward to lots of summers watching movies outside with my kids, and think it will double up well as an extra screen should I need one.

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.

If you want clear crisp detail - like actually being able to read documents and such - pay a little more. This one is okay - but not what we needed.
