Customer Ratings & Reviews

This review is for the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF21 Portable Smart Laser Projector (and, likely, others within this projector family). Overall, this is a great prosumer-level of project that you can get today, and it's completely worth the price to be paid for it. I'll cover specific points as we go forward. First, it's essentially a computer in a box. From the time that you turn it on, it steps you through a setup process that is, of course, completely controlled by Google (if you do have some issue with Google, fair warning -- this is a Google box!). The setup ends at a dashboard screen of sorts, very similarly to what you'd find on a smart TV or some other box that is a STB service aggregator -- meaning you have immediate access to pretty much every streaming service app available. Second, the projection aspects are fantastic. Out of the box without further setup (and everything is customizable via a setup menu in the aforementioned home screen/dashboard), it automatically adjusts focus by sensing how far it is away from your viewing point, whether that's a screen or the side of a wall). And every time you pick the box up to move it, it senses that movement, and will automatically readjust focus, among other things. Further, there is a sensor for the lasers it projects for pictures such that if you walk in front of the box, it will display a message that it has stopped displaying a full image so that your eyes don't get bothered -- this is one of those features that can be good, but if you're always getting up and crossing in front of the box, it might get annoying. As mentioned, this otherwise great feature can be adjusted. And thirdly, this device integrates seamlessly with current sound equipment and such. It is Bluetooth-enabled, and we also use HDMI cords to pass through from our Apple TV box through to a sound bar receiver with zero issues. As mentioned, this is a great projector and I'd definitely recommend it.

The Epson EpiqVision Mini EF21 Portable Smart Laser Projector is a small, well built, obviously high quality little projector. The unit weighs just over 5 pounds, and includes a power cable, a remote controll, some documentation/instructions, and a set of batteries. The resolution is 1080P and it uses Lazers to achieve it's 1000 Lumens of brightness. It has Blutooth, Wifi, and HDMI 2.1 connections. It is about 8" x 8" x 5" in size, so it's easy to find a spot to set it up. The small size and light weight make it easy to throw into a bag and take it with you. I was able to fit mine inside my lunch box to carry it to work so I could set it up and watch videos large format on my lunch break. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to connect to the Wifi at my work because the wifi requires a log in name and then a password, but the Epson Mini EF21 only had an option for selecting the wifi to connect to, then it jumped straight to the password request and I couldn't get it to let me use my log in name. When I set it up at my house it worked fine, but it didn't seem to be very bright, even with the blinds pulled down. It looks pretty good at night time when the whole house is dark though. I think it would have been nice to include a carry case to protect it and the lens when travelling, something with a carry handle would be nice. Overall I had really high expectations for this projector and it didn't quite live up to them for this price point.
