Our take on the Epson PowerLite 1781W Projector

The Epson PowerLite 1781W is a portable 3LCD business projector with 3,200 lumens and a 1280x800 WXGA native resolution. It is built for meeting rooms and travel: light body, power focus, manual optical zoom, keystone correction, Wi-Fi and a single HDMI plus VGA, USB and Ethernet inputs. Its 3LCD engine gives equal color and white brightness and no rainbow effect, which is where single-chip DLP rivals can fall short. The trade-offs are a lamp light source rated 4,000 hours in normal mode, no HDR or 3D, and 39 dB fan noise in normal mode.

Questions and answers

Is the Epson PowerLite 1781W bright enough for a lit meeting room?
Yes. At 3,200 lumens it handles normal room lighting on screens up to roughly 100 inches diagonal. Very bright rooms or larger screens will wash out the image.
What resolution does it project?
Native WXGA, 1280x800, in a 16:10 aspect ratio. It accepts HD sources but scales them down, so fine text and detail are softer than on a 1080p projector.
Does it need a lamp replacement?
Yes, it uses a lamp rated about 4,000 hours in normal mode and 7,000 in eco. Heavy daily use will reach that sooner than occasional meetings.
Can I connect wirelessly?
Yes, it has built-in Wi-Fi for wireless projection, plus one HDMI, VGA, component, USB and Ethernet inputs for wired sources.
Does it support 3D or HDR?
No. It has neither 3D nor HDR support, so it is aimed at standard business and classroom content.
How loud is it?
About 39 dB in normal mode and 30 dB in eco. That is audible in a quiet room, so eco mode helps for small spaces.
Where is the Epson PowerLite 1781W Projector cheapest?
At Antonline, for $886.29, as of our latest check.
