EPSA EF21 Review Projecoror: Bravo Little Toaster

Epson epiqvision mm mome ef21, and its near the ef22, are small, very portable with tv build on Google. They are both flexible in terms of placement so you can throw a movie of the fastening the fairly everywhere you have a wall and an outlet. Approximately the size of a tiredness, they are larger than the most portable projects but smaller of traditional home projector designed for the more permanent placement. The main difference between the two is that The EF22 add a Gimbaled baseA feature are fairly ambivalent, so m focale (pun intended) on ef21.

Epson epiqvision mini ef21

Like

• Great size and shape

• Google TV on board

Don’t like

• Mediocre contrast ratio

• Precious (also even available)

While the size and design are large, performance is less than impressive, especially if you consider the price. With a $ 899 MSRP, it’s more expensive models, and significantly underwelling “However, as of this handwriting for a lot, currently $ 650, that by making a more interesting proposition.

Specifics and such

• Resolution: 1.920×1,080
• HDR-Compatible: Yes
• 3d-compatible: no
• Specious Lumens: 1,000
• Zoom: no
• Ship Shift: No
• Laser Life (Normal): 20,000 hours

It was just a few years ago that the projects of this size and price would have been 720p, to the best. Is awesome to see 1080p, or more accurately, it’s great not to see the 720P of Chunky Pixel. A noticeable loss, either because of size or pricing sizes, is that has a very simpler lens than most of the projects in this price range. There is no prompted, that in justice is not particularly in any common way, but there is no zoom. It’s a little bit of a bummer, since you mean you need to physically move the projector to create a larger or smaller image. By its size and intended use, it is not a huge degree. More a mini tracted, if you will.

Epson pretends 1,000 lumens. I measured 407 with all the settings that we typically use to measure the projects. The dynamic way was much brighter, 792. It is worth noting that all projects mix less than their specs. Epson is typically closest to most. They also tend to sue manufacturers that flat-out of brightness specs. Someone has to, assumed, since the FTC is usually not interested.

Regardless, 407 Lumens is brighter than the finest projects, although 792 is not large enough of a similar price. We will go to that below. It is worth noting that dynamic mode did not look as bad as these ways often. So if you only have to look in a random wall, it is likely more than fine.

As is the case with all Moder Laser Projectors (and LED), the source of light must last the projector’s life.

Connection

• HDMI inputs: 1
• USB port: 1x USB-A (Mini Additional Mini for Service only)
• Audio Output: his headput output
• Internet: 2.4Ghz / 5GHz
• Remote: Not Backlit

The EFM1 HDMA input should be conceived to be a unityy steaming machine, then whatever would most likely fly plug in the game console. Declaring is via Google TV, then all the Amanian suspects are there, as netflix, disny +, hulu, and des.

Audio-wise, there are two drivers 5 of, syntax from Dolby, sounds good. These are small drivers in a small box, so don’t wait for the beegie room. I am not super strong, neither is very low but dialog is clear. There is a headset of the earphones, so you can well connect external speakers if you want.

The remote has dedicate netflix and youton buttons, together with the input, confuse, brightness and volume.

FAMOUS CHARGE

Anker mars 3 air

Benq ht2060

Comparing the ef21 to Mars 3 Air and Benq HT2060 can they look two strange choices. The air is smaller, and more portable, but is likely to interest similarly for someone who look for a projector as this. The Benq is more than twice the size of ef21, but only little more expensive. It is less portable, but still small and lightly could live on a shelf and get out of the nutmeg like the ef21. Which one is saying, EF21 is hard to compare you since it is in a strange of average size and price. Compared all three side to the side of 1.0-earn.

For most that I think the sea 3 air is closest to the performance to the ef21 and as such compound the macle of my comparison. The first thing noticeable was a big difference in contrast. I measured an average of 161: 1 with ef21, vs. 405: 1 with 3 air. Black bars were significantly believes on Epson, and the image was over. That 161: 1 is between the lowest I measured, only “beaten” for the most ignodable titles from ultra-budget projectors. So lateral-by-by-side seems to be deeper and fist, even if it is not standing the median contrast i measured in the past few years is 471: 1.

However, Epson engineers made a good job with other aspects of the images, so the ef21 hurt better than what you could wait. His colors are more listed and natural, so while it is not as much to the anker, it’s more comfortable looking otherwise. Grass, sky, skin tanties, all seems a little more realistic about the epoon.

With bright scenes, then, they are pretty well engaged in general. Epson’s bit of extra brightness also helps you. That also means you can have a greatest image, that is always to come from and ef21 compare to the anker. With dark scenes, however, blacks are gray in Epson and Anker looks better better.

What about the binq? Well, the only way is still remotely a comparison right here is because of the price. For a 100 $ 100 the HT206 is brighter in the brightest of EF21 Mode, has a significantly best contrast mode (more than 8,5x better), and so. There really isn’t the competition here, looks significantly better. Yes it is much larger, with a footprint of 14.6 cooking for 9.6 sends, but demerts the $ 899 Epson is very considering performance you’ve got.

Portable-adjacent

With all the advertising to light sources and other electronics, I understand the designer’s companies conceiving conceivance that fit in prior subsidiviously linked. A pattern that is more the life of origin, with attractive drawings and a variety of colors such as ef21, certainly makes sense. It’s a easy selling to parents to have something like this in hand for the occasional film or pre-reading distraction.

Epson, however is in a hard place. Their inferior LCD’s lcd chips have never seen the best as dlp to the same, or lower, price. The report of the contrast is not, so the picture seems washed in comparison. While the EF21 designers made a great job they make the images of the image seems well, without at least the high-handed library, the EF21 Falls. This is especially true to $ 899 that is only 100 $ shy, I admit much larger, Benq HT2060 exceeds the way. Is something twice as big as a lot of a load of SHOLF-space space when is brighter and better looking? Here is a calculation you will need to consider as I can’t see in your house (how much you know).

To its $ 650 sales price, ef21 is much more interesting. It’s more attractive in the outside of the sea 3 air, and while its work of contrast is not his own, it’s brighter and his image a little more comfortably. It’s also a little bit more expensive but close. Of course, 3 air has a battery so it is also more portable, but if that’s what you are looking for I have been considered the Epson to start.

So … if. Besides the contrast report there is nothing especially wrong with the ef21, but it is expensive for their performance.
