Small and light, yet incredibly powerful - the Epson 1781W is a highly portable business projector that combines simple setup with great usability. With projectors now a common sight in homes and businesses these days, the need for an affordable and...

The D6155W’s data image quality is close to excellent, with only minor issues turning up in our standard suite of DisplayMate tests. It delivered vibrant, saturated color in all of its preset modes, and good color balance, with suitably neutral gray at...

Ultra-short throw. Bright. Excellent quality for data images. XGA (1,024-by-768) native resolution. Wall mount included.

No 3D support. Harder than much of the competition to set up on a flat surface below the screen.

Conclusion For an ultra-short-throw projector that supports 3D, consider a DLP model like the Dell S510n Projector . If WXGA is a better resolution for the images you need to show, the Epson 585W is your best bet. However, the Epson PowerLite 580 XGA...

Vertical and horizontal lens shift. 1.6x zoom. 1080p resolution. Accepts 3D signals from video devices like Blu-ray players and cable TV.

Minor image-quality issues on particularly demanding scenes. Long lag time. No speakers. No audio-out port.

The 800-by-600 resolution makes this projector of no interest if you insist on 720p or 1080p resolution, and of limited interest even you don't. Either way, you'll get a more detailed image with a higher-resolution projector like the Editors' Choice...

Rated at 4,000 lumens. 1,920-by-1,200 resolution. Horizontal and vertical lens shift. 1.8x zoom lens. Good sound quality.

Minor issues for data image quality, including ever so slightly soft focus.

The Epson PowerLite 4855WU 3LCD Projector doesn't offer quite enough to replace the Canon REALiS SX80 Mark II as Editors' Choice. Depending on your application, however, its higher resolution and higher brightness may be more important for you than the...
