Verdict

The Epson EX5220 Wireless is a portable XGA (1024 x 768) 3LCD projector featuring 3,000 lumens of both colour and white brightness and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Its main characteristics include integrated Wi-Fi for wireless presenting via the iProjection app, HDMI connectivity, and a USB Plug 'n Play feature for PC-free slideshows. Key pros include high brightness suitable for well-lit rooms, accurate colour performance with 3-chip technology, and a lightweight design weighing only 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs). However, some cons include its aging 4:3 aspect ratio, lack of 3D support, and a single 2W speaker that is relatively faint for larger spaces.
