Verdict

The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 710HD is a 720p (1280x800) WXGA home entertainment projector utilizing 3LCD 3-chip technology to deliver a bright 2,800 lumens of both color and white light output. Its main characteristics include a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, an energy-efficient E-TORL lamp offering up to 5,000 hours of life in Eco mode, and high portability at just 5.1 lbs. Key pros are its impressive brightness for well-lit rooms, vibrant color accuracy right out of the box, and easy setup with horizontal keystone correction and 1.2x optical zoom. On the downside, it features a lower 720p native resolution compared to 1080p models, suffers from entry-level black levels and shadow detail, and lacks an audio output, relying on a basic 2W mono built-in speaker.
