Epson EB-EO1 3LCD projector review

03/17/2024

Projectors are easy solutions for more immersive viewing or for sharing presentations with a large group of people. Whatever your use may be, there are a number of selections to choose from. Although of course, pricing and features depend on what you need.

What we have right here is the Epson EB-E01 3LCD projector. It’s mainly designed for clasroom and office use, but apart from those, we’ve tried to use it as sort of a home entertainment system and there have been some realizations.

For less than PhP 21K in the Philippines, is this a projector you would enjoy? Read on and find out.

Design

In terms of design, there’s nothing in particular that will stand out. The projector has this plastic shell in white and it’s not that heavy for its size. It has its adjustable stand at the bottom that will let you angle the projector to work best for your setup.

As expected of a projector, it’s got noticeable grille that help dissipate heat away from the device.

It’s complete with buttons for different settings and modes, but it also comes with a controller for easier setup and menu navigation.

As mentioned earlier, the EB-E01’s design is as straightforward as a projector can be — you have your usual dial to adjust focus, a vent with a filter that you need to clean over time, and buttons for navigation and tweaking settings.

Its white color makes it easily useable for office or classroom setup as it can also be mounted at the ceiling with the necessary tools.

Features

The Epson EB-E01 projector boasts a range of features designed to enhance user experience and versatility. To kick things off, it has an AV Mute Slide function that provides seamless control over audio and video playback, ensuring smooth transitions during presentations, for example.

With Auto Source Search, the projector intelligently detects input sources, simplifying connectivity and setup. The built-in speaker also delivers clear sound without the need for external speakers, catering to small to medium-sized rooms or presentations.

Horizontal and vertical Keystone Correction options offer manual flexibility in projector placement, ensuring a squared-off image even in challenging installation scenarios. Moreover, its long lamp life minimizes maintenance costs and downtime, ideal for extended periods of uninterrupted use.

It also comes with a Split-Screen Function that allows simultaneous display of multiple sources, fostering collaboration and productivity during meetings or presentations.

Together, these features make the Epson EB-E01 projector a versatile and efficient choice for various settings, from business presentations to multimedia viewing.

But, of course, there are still room for improvements. This brings us to…

Overall performance

The Epson EB-E01 projector presents itself with a sleek design, although with a few notable limitations. On the upside, it has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 and this HD picture quality is actually not bad and can pass even for watching movies.

Its contrast ratio of 15000:1 also proves to be useful in both presentations and playing videos, while its 3300 lumens output allows texts to still be readable with certain amount of light present.

While the projector excels in brightness and picture quality, it falls short in certain features. The absence of Auto keystone at this price point is a notable drawback, and the lack of a physical lens cap may raise concerns, though understandable given its intended ceiling-mount setup for business use.

Additionally, the absence of USB and optical ports is apparent. The built-in speakers provide decent sound without the distraction of loud fan noise during regular use but we wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for an immersive cinematic experience as it just won’t do the job.

Additionally, the limited ports—consisting of a single HDMI, single VGA, and USB type B port—leave room for improvement, especially without an audio out for users intending to utilize smart HDMI sticks or to just improve overall sound.

Price in the Philippines and final thoughts

The Epson EB-E01 is priced in the Philippines at PhP 20,995. Despite some feature omissions, its portability and quick setup, along with features like AV Mute Slide, Auto source search, and built-in speaker, make it a versatile choice.

The addition of horizontal and vertical keystone correction, long lamp life, Quick Corner, and Split-Screen-Function further enhance its usability, offering a seamless experience for users seeking a balance between design, features, brightness, and performance with the Epson EB-E01 projector.
