Optoma EP716R Projector

The Optoma projector model EP716R is essentially an upgrade of the previous model and remains among the top of the range today, with an increased brightness of 2200 ANSI lumens. This is an incredibly bright projector, especially considering the price is below €2,000. The contrast ratio has also been improved to an equally impressive 2200:1.
Although this is not a video product, you can use it with DVDs to achieve impressive results. To make things easier, you'll find that Optoma provides a SCART to VGA adapter as standard, so you can receive signals directly from your DVD recorder.
In line with this theme, where this unit excels is in its connectivity. You will find two VGA ports, one used for the SCART option, VGA output, S-video audio, video ports, and RS232.
However, the resolution has been increased to 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA), which is the only compromise you will have to make. To this end, you will find that the images on your laptop will be displayed at a lower resolution. But the images from our test unit were still bright and clear.

With a weight of 2 kg, it is still a portable product, but the design is completely new and innovative. However, the included case makes it easier to transport by car.
With a noise level of 30 dB, we found this machine to be reasonably quiet, which can be further reduced by setting the machine to eco mode at 28 dB. Any heat buildup is well managed thanks to the air vents located around the enclosure.
Considering its price, the EP716R is hard to criticize, as it manages to pack a lot of power and options for the small office or student user.
The projector will be carefully packed at a specialized Mail Box Etc center and insured for the full value of the product, with ultra-fast shipping via leading couriers such as FedEx, UPS, GLS, and DHL.
