Verdict

The Epson PowerLite W17 is a compact 3LCD widescreen projector featuring a native WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution and 2,800 lumens of both white and colour brightness. Designed primarily for classroom and office use, it offers a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, a manual 1.2x optical zoom, and versatile connectivity including HDMI, dual VGA, and USB Plug 'n Play for PC or Mac. Key pros include its 3-chip technology for vibrant, accurate colours, a long lamp life of up to 6,000 hours in ECO mode, and a built-in 5W mono speaker that provides adequate volume for medium-sized rooms. However, some cons include its lack of 3D capabilities, unimpressive video quality for cinematic use, and the omission of a carrying case for its 5.8-pound portable frame.
