In terms of portability and port selection at its price, the Epson VS330 XGA 3LCD Projector ($429.99) of Epson’s value series delivers good performance at an affordable price.
We tested the projector and found mediocre image quality and poor sound quality, which isn’t surprising for a projector under $500.
Overall, the VS330 is an excellent choice if you need adequate performance from a portable data projector at a reasonable price.
Epson developed 3LCD technology for the VS330, which consists of three LCD panels processing different primary colors of light. Display resolution is XGA (1,024 x 768), and it has a maximum brightness of 2,700 lumens. With a dark base and a white top, this two-toning projector is relatively light, weighing just 5.1 pounds and measuring 3.1 by 11.6 by 9 inches, which makes it easy to transport, though it lacks a carrying case.
Epson VS330 Review 2022
The VS330 performed well under a fair amount of ambient light placed about seven feet back from our test screen. Another problem was that the projector showed dynamic moiré when images that tend to highlight it were shown. As long as you do not use images with hatching or carefully spaced lines, you shouldn’t have a problem. Rainbow artifacts are absent from the video of the Epson VS330. (An LCD projector lacks 3D capability, unfortunately.) Otherwise, the video quality was relatively poor, and I recommend using it for short clips within presentations. If you don’t have a high expectation for image quality, and you need easy portability, then you may want to take a look at the Epson VS330 XGA 3LCD Projector.Testing of Data Images
