EX9200 Pro

I bought this projector to do mobile presentations of my photographic work. I was looking for excellent resolution and color rendition, with small size and sub $1,000 cost, and I found it in this projector.My presentations consist of still photos and video photo slide shows set to music, typically done through PowerPoint. After trying all the various connectivity modes, the HDMI connection works best for me. I bought an Amazon Basics Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable AmazonBasics High-Speed Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable - 3.3 Feet (1 Meter) - Supports Ethernet, 3D, and Audio Return to connect my Asus Zenbook to the projector, to carry video and audio. I configure the projector as a second screen so I can use a different resolution for projector vs. my laptop screen, so I can use a custom ICC color profile I created for the projector, and so I can use PowerPoint's presentation controller on my laptop while projecting the show on the projector. The VGA connection works the same as HDMI, just without audio.The USB connection mode from laptop to projector was fine for still photos, but full-frame video can't keep up. I'd estimate that I was only seeing about a 5 frame per second update rate on the projector. I thought maybe it was my laptop being slow, but I got the same results on my desktop. No difference observed between USB2 and USB3 ports. Also with USB, I didn't see any way to apply a custom ICC color profile to the projector, or to make the projector a 2nd screen. On the positive side, the USB really was plug-and-play with no hassle.Same observation about the point-to-point, Laptop-to-projector WiFi connection. No problems whatsoever connecting, but the same limitations as USB connection mode: slow frame rate video, no ICC color profile, no 2nd screen.I also tried the advanced WiFi mode where the projector connects to your home WiFi hotspot. The connection couldn't have been easier -- I typed in my painfully long WiFi pass phrase (irritating when you're using the remote control with arrow keys to move around a virtual keyboard on screen). Connection to my WiFi was immediate. I was surprised to find that the video frame rate was MUCH faster in this mode. I could still sense it wasn't quite full rate, but it was much less jumpy than with USB or point-to-point WiFi. No problems controlling the projector through the Espon WIndows Apps.I also bought a Bose SoundLink color speaker to play the music with my shows. Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker (Black) It's got great sound for a small device, and its internal battery and bluetooth make for less connections for me to futz with when I'm setting up.Connection was also easy to my Android phone. I downloaded the app, and connected immediately. Picture quality was excellent, and control of the images to present was easy, but I didn't see any way to play videos from the phone.To color calibrate the projector, I used ColorEyes Pro software and a Spyder 3 device. No problems calibrating (I used 2.2 gamma) and the color match is outstanding to my laptop and desktop. I use RGB mode on the projector.I do mostly wildlife photography, and animal whiskers and eyes require a sharp focus. I found this projector's sharpness and resolution to be outstanding.You will notice the relatively lower contrast ratio on this projector. When the projector auto-keystones vertically (no operator intervention required), you can definitely see that the black area around the keystone corrected image is not a true black.But the bottom line is that I'm very pleased with the projector, as have been people who have watched my presentations.

This Epson projector is the best projector for the money, there is so much light there is no need to pull the blinds, no darkness needed, to run this baby. If can use it day and night. Absolutely wonderful for teaching my classes and watching movies directly from the internet. I have my Apple Computer soI bought the fire Mini DP Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter Male to Female Converter for Apple Macbook, , it works perfect. I do have a Roku box but I watch my Roku and my Xfinity directly from the internet. Xfinity is Live TV on the internet, I just login into my account and watch whatever I want LIVE. No complaints, nope not one. AWESOME PROJECTORI bought ION bluetooth speakers last summer and this project sound bass like at the movies and give me that surround sound bass (SEE BELOW). I go to my Mac and just switch from internal speakers to my Bluetooth ION speakers War-law I am at the movies instantly. Great for family night with the kids. The color of the pictures are two different filters I used from my I phone, but the picture is sharp, clear and this is daylight and you can tell, I just took a picture of this review that I am about to submit. Hope you enjoy!!!Jan I bought the DLP HD 1080p Projector 3D Home Theater Projector, this projector was AWFUL, no directions, it looked very cheap, no-one to call to ask for help, plus no warranty besides what Amazon gives. I sent it back.I am so so happy with the Epson EX9200 The BEST.

This projector is great, very bright and very clear image. This is only marred by the stupidity of no headphone/audio out jack. Definitely worth the price only if you rig speakers, because the projector's speakers are way too loud, sound like tin cans, and vibrate on any volume past level 1.We tried 4 projectors before this one: (1) BenQ MW632ST 3,200 ANSI Lumen Colorific MHL DLP Projector, (2) ViewSonic PJD5353LS 3200 Lumens XGA HDMI Short Throw Projector, (3) ViewSonic PJD5155 3300 Lumens SVGA HDMI Projector, and (4) RAGU RG-01 Video Projector 1280x768 Resolution 720P Home Projector Support 1080P Video for Home Movie by USB HDMI VGA SD AV.This projector has a better image than all of those, by a fairly large margin. The BenQ was the 2nd best for image, but nowhere close to the quality of this Epson.Now for the Audio out resolution:We use an audio extractor/hdmi splitter and send the audio to our Bluetooth speaker via a Bluetooth transmitter. We run an HDMI from the projector to the splitter's "Out" port; an HDMI from our Xfinity Comcast box to one of the splitter's "In" ports; and put the the Bluetooth transmitter into the splitter's "3.5mm Audio out" port. Then play around with your device until you get sound from your speaker (you may have to adjust your cable box's audio settings). What I can say is an audio extractor/splitter WILL work, Bluetooth or not; you may just need the appropriate cables, like a TOSLINK, if it isn't Bluetooth. The devices we used are listed below. Hope this helped someone.1. The splitter/audio extractor: "LiteXim 3x1 HDMI Switch with PIP, HDMI Audio Extractor Converter/Splitter (SPDIF ARC and 3.5mm Stereo Audio Extract) Multifunctional HDMI Selector Switch with IR Remote, Support 4Kx2K@30Hz & 3D"2. The Bluetooth speaker: "Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth Speaker II (Carbon)"3. The Bluetooth transmitter: "Mpow Bluetooth 2-in-1 Receiver/Transmitter, Wireless Bluetooth Adapter with Stereo Transmission"
