In terms of looks and design, the Epson EX30 is practically similar to the hottest member of Epson’s low-priced PowerLite S family, the S6, but has several gray highlights, instead of the S6’s all-white body. Much like the other Epson budget versions, the EX30 is no light, weighing in at 5. 8 pounds, but it is travel weight of 6. 7 weights still fits well inside our distinction of handheld.

Of course, budget versions need to have some shortcomings—otherwise, would you buy everything else? The Epson EX30 has no optical zoom that could be a problem when fitting an image to a unique screen size. This can be partially offset with a two-prong AC cable plug that may mate with any extendable cord, defining it as easy to use this model practically anywhere.
The remote device, that’s the size of a tiny cellular, lacks a laser tip but does include some compact but beneficial buttons for navigating a PowerPoint slideshow. For that odd reason, these kinds of Page Up/Down buttons don’t work by default. To power up them, you need to access the projectors on-screen menu.

Performance
As with almost all budget versions, the EX30 has rather lower resolution (800 x 600, or SVGA), but the image was enjoyably large. The projector developed an image size of 54 inches in diagonal at a 5-foot screen distance.
On our tests the Epson EX30 executed quite well, or superbly. Our brightness test uncovered 1946 ANSI lumens, less than 10 % shy of the used value and as bright as versions twice it is selling price. On our checkerboard contrast test, it scored a ratio of 226: 1, about ordinary for LCD projectors. Up close, consumer pixels showed a slight combination error, with red-colored and blue fringes. This can make really small text hard to read, but you’re unlikely that they are using really small text in a presentation anyhow.
On the in addition side, that same LCD technology produced wonderful colors, especially excellent yellows and rich reds. The graphics were also incredibly steady, without even the merest hint of flicker. The soothing fan noise in the default high-power mode looked like about regular, but in low-power mode it was very calm.
Although you don’t usually think about an SVGA projector in organization with high-definition TV, the EX30 includes its own part video adapter—a feature lacking on many higher-resolution projectors. Sure enough, whenever we connected the EX30 to our 1080i set-top box, we were impressed with the entire picture. Although we did see several occasional motion blur, this model’s relatively low resolution appeared to stand up well with higher-resolution XGA models.

The EX30’s warm-up and cool down times were incredibly short: 14 seconds and 3 seconds, respectively. Getting at the cooling fan filter, which must be transformed periodically on all LCD projectors, is very simple. Epson EX30 review on Projector Reviews.
