Epson EX7210 Multimedia Projector

The Epson EX7210 Multimedia Projector ($649 direct) is a portable, easy to set up and use business projector with a good feature set and range of ports. Its data image quality isn't perfect, but should be fine for typical business presentations made to small groups. The EX7210's light source, based on the 3LCD technology developed by Epson, is rated at 2,800 lumens. The projector provides WXGA (1,280 by 800 pixel) native resolution, at a 16:10 aspect ratio. It has a similar feature set to the Editors' Choice NEC NP-M260W ($850 street, 4 stars), a WXGA projector rated at 2,600 lumens. In addition to the zoom and focus wheels, the EX7210 also has a slider behind the lens to manually provide horizontal keystone correction. The black EX7210 measures 3.1 by 11.6 by 9.0 inches (HWD), including feet, and weighs 5.1 pounds. It's easily transportable in its included soft carrying case. The EX7210's ports include VGA-in; HDMI-in; 3 RCA plugs for composite video and audio; S-video; a type B USB port for connecting with a PC (USB Plug ‘n Play provides easy connectivity with both Macs and Windows PCs); and a type A port that fits a USB thumb drive.
