Great multiuse projector

The Epson 1780W is a quality projector for those needing to do double duty with presentations and/ or watching video at 720P. I’ve plugged it up to my laptop and watched Black Panther on my living room wall. The quality was pretty good. My daughter couldn’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080i.Setup was straight forward and to the point. I tried playing a movie via the usb option and it didn’t play. I’m sure that has to do with the codecs that the Epson accepts. I have to figure that part out. I was successful in displaying my phone wirelessly. We both got a kick out of that. There was a bit of lag when streaming video from my phone. The Epson is very bright. I accidentally turned around and looked in the lens. Thought I blinded myself lol… I will be using it Memorial Day weekend to watch movies outside. The kids should have an absolute blast. The projector came with a padded carry case which I thought was a nice touch.

Excellent projector with awesome wireless features

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1780W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. That said, my review is based on my user experience with the projector, not the price paid.
I found the projector very easy to setup and use and the image quality was great. The brightness of the picture was quite impressive. I tested the projector in a room with a full wall of windows and full daylight and found the brightness of the image more than adequate.
The wireless features of the projector were also quite nice and very easy to setup. The projector creates it's own wifi network and allows you to connect your phone or laptop wirelessly. When using a phone for example (iPhone in my case), I simply had to download the Epson iProjection app, point my phone at the barcode image projected and the connection was made. Once connected, you can display photos, videos, websites and documents directly from your phone. The connection was responsive and it even responds to the orientation of your device, switching between landscape and portrait as you turn your device.
The projector comes with a slim case that is well padded and has a place to store cables and the included remote.
Overall, I was very impressed with the feature set of the projector and the image quality. I was particularly impressed with the wireless capabilities. I would not hesitate to recommend this projector to someone looking for a high quality portable projector.

Great Portable and feature packed projector

This product is very easy to setup and I had it working in a matter of moments. The included connections were spot on for modern day usage. Set up with MAC, PC, Chromecast, or Roku or even the app is easy and the quality projected is great. My only issue with the device is that there was no way to hook up an external source for sound to go out. I would have liked to see the ability to hook up the sound to a sound bar or speaker system instead of just using the internal speaker on the projector.

I would deffinately recommend to anyone who is always on the move with the amazin portability option and given the fact that its lightweight with tons of features built into it.

Quick & Easy Set up and shows very clear!

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1780W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. This projector came packaged very well, came with a very nice carrying bag and has a sleek, clean design. The install of the Epson iprojection app was extremely easy and I was able to connect wirelessly from a mobile device with very little effort. One thing I disliked initially was having to access the manual online (if it were needed). Luckily, I did not need the manual and there is a number for telephone support should one need help. Once the iProjection app installed on my phone, I was able to pull up documents from my phone files and the files showed clearly and effortlessly via the projector. Adjusting the view was easy as pie. I was also able to pull up the gallery of pictures on my phone and was able to view them on screen via projector. Other things I noticed was that the top of the projector gets very hot and the projector runs constantly and can be distracting. An advantage to this is that you don’t need to wait for it to cool off prior to turning it off – just unplug it.
This projector works well with Word & PowerPoint. I was able to create a PowerPoint presentation and was able to view it successfully via the projector; able to advance slides with the remote but couldn’t figure out how initially - to find the pointer on the remote. You have to hit the pointer button, and then use the arrow over, up and down buttons to move the arrow. Would love to see the pointer feature be more of a lazer like feature. I was unable to connect to the internet when the projector is connected to my mobile device however when it is connected, you can display anything that is located on the phone but cannot connect to dropbox, Netflix, Bible app, Banking apps, You Tube, etc.. I discovered the hard way that going to the internet will end your screen view from the phone.
If movies are downloaded to the device, you can also view movies via the projector. Sound comes from the device, not the projector. Overall, this Epson Powerlite 1780W Projector is a must-have for anyone who does presentations or wants to use it for special presentations.

Great data projector for the modern road warrior.

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1780W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. If you are looking for a bright, portable projector for business use, look no further. The 1780W is very bright, and is quite visible even in boardroom environments. Colors are rich and vibrant, with deep blacks and crisp whites. The projector is light and made for travel. It comes with a black, lightweight canvas zip-top messenger briefcase, with a couple of front pockets for connectors, and an inside partition for cables. The case isn't padded or armored, so tossing it up on the scanner at the airport is not recommended. Also in the box are a power cable, a USB cable, a VGA cable, a remote with batteries, user manual and software CDs, and finally a quick setup sheet, and registration card.
The projector itself is lightweight (just about 4 pounds), and has a thin profile (right around 2 inches). The resolution is good for a data projector (1280x800), but don't mistake the 1780W for a heavy-lifting projector for 4K movies in your backyard-this is definitely for business "road warrior" use. Connecting to the 1780W is easy, with both wired and wireless options. It has HDMI, RCA and VGA inputs, as well as USB thumb drive support. Wireless connectivity is available via Wi-Fi, NFC, and iOS and Android apps. It was very nice to walk into a conference room, and start my presentation without having to fumble with multiple cords and toggling screen settings. One negative is the built-in speaker. It is very soft-I would not recommend relying on it for your presentations. The 1780W is a great business projector, with exceptional brightness, good resolution, and nice connection options packed into a slim, lightweight chassis.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1780W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
I am an avid user of projector since working in a sales team, I usually travel across the country and outside of US to work with clients and I use projector a lot to present it to the client. Awesome for a traveling salesman as myself. The size and weight are perfect. I can put both my laptop and this projector in my small laptop bag. It is bright and clear and easy to use.
Also I use this projector to watch movies at family night out in my backyard. I was able to stream video and audio from my laptop over the projector's LAN, in "Quick" mode. I've no need to set up multiple computers in Advanced mode. I downloaded the wifi app to my iPhone, and can show limited content--still photos, PowerPoint/Keynote presentations. However, the wired connection with a VGA adaptor is better. That shows the phone or iPad screen directly, in portrait or landscape. The projected image is very clear in daylight.The WiFi capability enables wireless peer to peer or internet enabled connect with another internet enabled device for live demos. Fan is little bit noisy, but you can ignore that sound.

I love this projector. I have used it everyday since I received it. For my job, I am always doing some type of presentation for my job. I was excited that the 1780w was light weight and easy to attach to a laptop. It showed great quality when presenting my screens. I received many compliments.

At home the 1780w was good also. I was able to connect to my network fairly easy. I presented a few movies on the wall for the kids. They definitely enjoyed seeing the big picture on the wall.
The projector comes with all the cables you need to connect to the standard components. It also come with a carrying case. The case doesn't protect it but it gets you for one place to another.
I would highly recommend this projector for business. Excellent quality!

Great Value for Multimedia Projector

This is a review for the Epson Powerlite 1780W Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
This product is very easy to setup and I had it working in a matter of moments. I tried several different sources (Mac, PC, Chromecast, and Roku). The included connections were spot on for modern day usage. The HDMI connector worked flawlessly for both video and sound. The picture quality was excellent and and a good ability to adjust when needed. The device is very portable and could easily be put into a backpack (like one to carry a laptop).
My only issue with the device is that there was no way to hook up an external source for sound to go out. I would have liked to see the ability to hook up the sound to a sound bar or speaker system instead of just using the internal speaker on the projector.
Pros: light weight, about the size of a laptop, many different connectors for video
Cons: no external sound connection
