Verdict

The Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-W01 is a portable 3LCD projector featuring a native WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution and a powerful 3,000 lumens of both colour and white brightness, capable of projecting images up to 378 inches. Designed for hybrid use, its main pros include excellent colour accuracy with a three-chip design that eliminates rainbow artifacts, sufficient brightness for well-lit rooms, and a lightweight 2.4kg frame ideal for travel. However, notable cons include its native 16:10 resolution being less than Full HD, a lack of built-in smart streaming features, limited connectivity with only one HDMI port, and no dedicated audio output port for external speakers.
