Epson's PowerLite 3020 projector a decent buy

2013-02-27
i untie Pendlebury from CNET calm while televisions have gotten really large of late there is still a dedicated set of people who would still opt for a projector for a big screen experience and one of the biggest names in home projection is Epson and today I'm looking at its mid-level offering the power light 30 20 there are two versions of this projector one with a wireless hdmi dongle for $18.99 and one without for $15.99 as far as design is concerned most projectors look like a hovercraft or a spaceship the power light 3020 with its distinctive fins certainly wouldn't look out of place in a movie about blue cat people aside from wireless hdmi the projector also offers 3d onboard speakers to HDMI inputs and an extensive set up menu image quality is pretty good and certainly better than the LCD projectors of a few years ago colors are close to reference quality and shadow detail is as good as you can get without spending over $2000 3d quality is also quite good and better than you'll get from most LCD TVs the problem is that black levels aren't all that great and the motor that operates the RS makes a loud grinding sound in comparison the competing Bank UW 1070 is under a grand has similar levels contrast and doesn't make anywhere near as much noise if you're looking to buy this Epson projector though don't get the wireless option it needs light of site to work and can be interrupted if you move in front of it save yourself a few hundred bucks and get a really good long HDMI cable instead if you want a better projector though opt for either the Ben Q or Mitsubishi HC 7900 this has been type Pendlebury for Cena
