Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been wanting a projector for several years now, but I was reluctant on pulling the trigger. Whether it was cost versus functionality, or missing features, there seemed to always be something holding me back. Well, enter the Epson Pro EX7260 – things have changed. Sad to say, I’m a bit of a package guy. Packages make a first impression, and they give me a sense of security about the condition of the product. Epson did a very good job in packaging this product – no rattling and a very tight box feel. The projector was already in its case, package neatly and well secured. The projector comes with a couple of connection cables (USB and VGA), a remote, and a bag. I would have preferred an HDMI cable rather than the USB, but more on that later. Picking up the EX7260, the first thing I noticed was the weight; it’s very light. Although it’s the size of a standard projector, it is very lightweight compared to others I have used. It has the standard button layout and functionality of most projectors, so if you are familiar with using one, you should feel right at home. The remote, however, is a different story. This thing has one of the most elaborate remotes I have ever seen for a projector. It looks like it could operate a television. It’s not just dog and pony show either; it is a very useful remote and should be appreciated. Well, I plugged it in, and I must admit, the first thing I did was go for the wireless connection – should be no need for HDMI with this feature. Yes, the EX7260 has built in wireless, and that feature alone is almost a must have in my opinion, unless… I don’t like the wireless interface. You can only connect to the projector using Epson’s custom software, whether app from your phone’s app store, or a Windows or Mac client downloaded from their support site (they also have a CD included). What made this worse in my opinion, is the fact that the app interface is very limited for the PC. You can’t extend your screen to the projector – only duplicate it. The app has the feeling of an online meeting, where you ‘join’ the projector space to view and participate. While this seems neat, and is more than likely useful in some settings, it doesn’t beat the ability to connect without all the strings attached. You know why wifi and cellular is almost necessary now? Because there is no difference in what you get using it and what you got when you used the same services with wires attached. The best things just work, period (didn’t Steve Jobs kinda prove that). The best wireless connection in my opinion should be as easy as connecting a wire. I feel Epson should allow a Miracast connection – seamless. Sadly, this is not the case, and that hurts my personal user experience a bit. But, alas, you can connect other ways – HDMI, VGA, USB. Doing so is a breeze, as one would expect, and the EX7260 offers split screen functionality for multiple connections – that’s cool. Did I mention the picture? Can you say lumens? This thing is bright! I mean it has to be one of the leaders in visibility and clarity. The first time I turned it on in a well lit room, I felt a ‘WOW’ rise in me. Epson has done an excellent job producing a quality picture that is also stable and responsive. Of course, the normal picture settings are there, along with preset modes. The projector can work upside down, perform rear projection, etc . It is very flexible. The fan is a little loud, but there is an eco-mode. Sure, it doesn’t have the brightness bang, but the clarity is still there. With a quality picture, extensive features, great flexibility, and a light, portable package, the EX7260 is very hard to beat. It has built in wireless, but the execution turns what should be a positive into a negative in my opinion. Not sure if a simple software upgrade could solve this issue, but my recommendation to Epson would be to explore that option.

After spending a little time with this Epson projector, I can say with conviction it is a nice piece of tech and extremely, for lack of a better word, practical. It may not have countless bells and whistles, and the specs may not be jaw-dropping, but do not let that turn you away. It does what it is designed to do and does it very well. To begin, it has several video inputs that should meet most people’s needs: HDMI, component video, S-Video and Composite Video. In addition, it has RCA audio inputs. These should handle most scenarios you deal with out in the wild. Further, since it is wireless, you can also use your cell phone, laptop, tablet, or other wireless input to share content. I really appreciate that versatility and flexibility, even though I experienced some lag when using my phone. Still, a great option, but something to keep in mind. The picture quality is very solid, and while it “can” be used for home media/theater use (do not expect high quality theater sound), that is not truly what it is designed for. I would turn to another solution for that. The resolution is “only” 720p, and while the brightness is absolutely fantastic, and the picture vivid, where it really shines is in presentation and office use. To further enhance that value, its relatively small size and light weight make it quite portable. Epson also tosses in a carrying case to sweeten the deal. A nice touch. Ultimately, I really like what Epson has done here. As a whole, I think it is a fantastic, compact, lightweight and capable projector. It offers quite a bit of versatility, ease of setup, a rich feature-set, and solid performance. You have to know your use case, but if it fits what this projector is designed for, you won’t be disappointed! Easy recommendation.

I love this product! It is so amazing to watch tv with this system.

This was a great projector! Easy to use and good quality.

It is a OK budget projector for presentations. It’s bright enough for a room with the lights on. Definitely not for home theater.
