Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Optoma EP721 SVGA 2200-Lumens DLP Multimedia Data Projector

Customer Review: Everything I need in a portable projector!
Summary: 5 Stars

My specific requirement was a projector that could provide a DVI input from my laptop docking station which has both a DVI-D digital only signal output and a VGA port. My primary monitor is a 20" flat panel screen and my secondary monitor is a 17" flat panel the first connected via DVI and the second connected via a standard VGA port and cable.

I did not want to have to remove my computer from the docking station or change the display setup to set the primary monitor as the VGA display just to use the projector. So to avoid this I needed a DVI-I or DVI-D connection on the projector. That by virtue of the DVI interface also provides a better picture as the signal no longer needs to be converted between digital and analog VGA output. When not docked I use a standard VGA port and cable as the laptop itself does not provide DVI output.

This projector is the best I could find at the price that provides DVI-I input, is lightweight, has remote with laser, supports all the resolutions and other features I might need.

I have learned more than I ever should need to know about DVI connectors, cables and supported signals. There are DVI-A (analog only), DVI-D (digital only), DVI-I (digital & analog) connectors and cables with two types of digital signals being supported. There are both single and dual types with dual providing greater resolution capability. what is supported depends upon the type of connector or cable used and the support provided by the device. This can easily get confusing with some five or more, different connectors and pin-outs.

I like this unit, it provides a clean clear crisp picture at 220 Lumens. It is lightweight just over 4lbs. It has keystone correction, full remote with laser and supports a wide range of resolutions with support for a variety of video input connections including regular VGA as well as digital with DVI-I support. I really like the soft flexible rubber lense cap and the compact carrying cable with space for all the cables you may need to have with you when on the road.

I had previously tried a 3M MPRO110 PICO projector which was not really usable even for my meager needs and then a fabulous TOSHIBA TDP-SP1U DLP Mobile Projector but it lacked the digital input support I needed. Despite that the warranty on the Optoma EP721 Projector is only one year compared to the Toshiba, it delivers all the features and functionality I need in a portable unit. Truly outstanding and a quality unit for the money.
