Epson VS230 Pro Reviews

I have to apologize to the Epson VS230, because this review evaluates the projector in a way it was never meant to be used. Despite this, it turns in a respectable performance when forced into service as a home video projector. Its high light output, rich color, and sharp image put cheap projectors to shame, while its bargain price makes it affordable even on the most shoestring of budgets. In a world where the Epson VS230 exists, there is no reason to ever buy one of the cheap projectors. Our star ratings for the VS230 reflect two things. The first is that the VS230 outperforms, in every conceivable category, all of the cheap projectors we've seen. The second is that its market niche is dominated by business-oriented DLP projectors with 2x speed color wheels that produce rainbow artifacts in video applications. They are also among the worst performers in color brightness as well. So the VS230 is unmatched in its ability to display photography, film, and video in this price class. For these reasons, the VS230 deserves solid five-star ratings in both Performance and Value, and a spot on our Highly Rated list.
