What customers like about Epson EB-2250U

  • 5000 ANSI lumens keep the picture visible in a lit room.
  • Two audio inputs take sound from two sources.
  • The 16 W speaker is loud enough for a small hall.
  • The 1.6 zoom lets you size the picture from one spot.
  • It uses 0.31 W on standby.
  • A smartphone app gives remote control from a phone.

What customers don't like about Epson EB-2250U

  • The minimum throw distance of 1.38 m needs space between the projector and the screen.
  • Horizontal keystone correction is only 20 degrees, so the projector must sit close to square with the screen.
  • At 4.6 kg it is heavy to move.
  • Noise reaches 39 dB, which is loud in a quiet room.
  • It draws 341 W while running.

Verdict

A lit room is no problem for the Epson EB-2250U, which puts out 5000 ANSI lumens. The image can grow to 300 inch on a big wall, which suits a large room. The 1.6 zoom lets you change the picture size from one spot. It has two HDMI ports, two audio inputs, and a 16 W speaker that can fill a small hall. The 1920x1200 panel suits text and detail, and it can be mounted on a ceiling. The catch is bulk and noise: it weighs 4.6 kg, is 377 mm wide, and reaches 39 dB. The minimum throw distance is 1.38 m and horizontal keystone is only 20 degrees, so line it up square to the screen. It suits a classroom or meeting room where brightness and inputs matter more than size.
