Epson PowerLite 1795F Wireless Full HD 1080p 3LCD Projector - Review 2022

The latest of Epson'southward PowerLite sparse-and-light projectors is the highest-resolution model in the line so far. The Epson PowerLite 1795F Wireless Total Hd 1080p 3LCD Projector ($999.99) offers good brightness and (you guessed it...) 1080p resolution in a portable data projector. In our testing, information technology had good information image quality, very skillful video image quality for a data projector, and a very soft audio organization. Video quality is good enough to testify full-length movies, but you'd need to sit very nigh the projector to hear its feeble audio. As long as you mean to use it with an external sound arrangement, it'south a solid and versatile projector.

Pattern and Features

The two-tone (black, with a white top) PowerLite 1795F measures 1.seven past eleven.5 by 8.four inches (HWD) and weighs 4 pounds. Thin and light for its brightness (3,200 lumens), it's really a tad thinner than final year'due south Epson PowerLite 1781W Wireless WXGA 3LCD Projector, despite its higher resolution, and a pound lighter than the Casio Slim XJ-A247, which has well-nigh identical dimensions.

The PowerLite 1795F has a rated brightness of 3,200 lumens, the same as the 1781W and up from the 2,600 lumens that I saw in the older Epson 1761W. Its 1080p native resolution trumps these ii projectors' WXGA (1,280 by 800) resolution. Its calorie-free engine employs the 3LCD engineering that Epson helped develop.

This model has a zoom bicycle behind the lens, as well as a focus control that uses forwards and back arrows, with which I was able to get a sharp image. Apart from the focus control is a iv-way controller with a central Enter push button, plus an on/off push, and Home, Menu, and several other buttons. Yous can also access these and other functions with Epson's included remote command. The projector comes with a soft carrying case, which has several pouches and a messenger strap.

The PowerLite 1795F has a good gear up of ports for a portable information projector: VGA, HDMI, RCA video, and audio in, as well as a USB Blazon-B port (for direct computer connections), and a USB Type-A port (for running a reckoner-free presentation off a USB thumb bulldoze). The projector has a built-in module for connecting to a Wi-Fi network, and information technology supports Miracast streaming from uniform devices. The HDMI port also supports streaming from an MHL-enabled device. The 1795F supports project from iOS and Android devices with the Epson iProjection app installed.

Data Testing: A Skillful Info-Projector

I tested the PowerLite 1795F with the unit about 7 anxiety away from the screen, onto which it projected an epitome of about 72 inches (diagonal). It stood upwardly well to the introduction of ambience low-cal, with no obvious degradation to image quality.

Data paradigm quality, every bit tested using the DisplayMate suite, was above par for a business projector. In my text testing, blackness text on white was hands readable down to 6-point type, and white text on black was easily readable down to seven.5 points. Although those are solid scores, they autumn a footling curt of the InFocus IN1118HD, which rendered black text on white readable down to 5 points and white text on blackness to half dozen points.

The Epson EX9200 Pro Wireless WUXGA 3LCD Projector, our Editors' Pick high-resolution portable projector, did fifty-fifty improve, displaying readable blackness-on-white text down to 4.five points, and white-on-black downwardly to 5 points. (While the IN1118HD, like the PowerLite 1795F, is a 1080p projector, the EX9200 sports fifty-fifty college WUXGA, or 1,920 by 1,200, resolution.)

Ane thing that may have affected readability of white-on-black text in my testing somewhat was majestic fill—a spurious regal shading that seems to fill (or partially fill) some of the white letters. It is something I often encounter in projector information images, specially at the smallest type sizes, simply was more apparent with the PowerLite 1795F than with most such models.

Colors were brilliant and well saturated. Equally an LCD projector, its color brightness is equal to its white brightness, while DLP-based projectors frequently accept lower color effulgence than white effulgence, which can lead to dull colors. (In my review of the DLP-based InFocus IN1118HD, I described its colors as a fleck muted.) The PowerLite 1795F showed amend-than-boilerplate color residue in my grayscale testing, with just a trace of light-green in some light grayness swatches.

Video and Sound: Yous'll Want Speakers

Video quality is very skillful for a data projector. As an LCD-based projector, it's immune to the distracting rainbow issue ofttimes seen in DLP projectors, although similar virtually LCD projectors, it can't projection 3D content. Information technology did well in capturing detail in dark scenes. I noticed occasional posterization, the tendency for precipitous shifts in color where they should be gradual, in scenes that tend to bring it out.

Sound from the 1-watt speaker was faint, barely audible unless I was very almost the projector. While none of the Epson thin-and-white portable projectors that I have tested has loud audio, the PowerLite 1795F was fainter than most. The projector has an audio-in port for playing audio from a video source over the speaker, but no audio-out to connect to an external speaker. If the video source can play its own sound, or it's possible to connect that source to speakers, you may want to go that route rather than trying to pipe audio through the projector. If that's not possible, proceed with caution if the audio volume matters.

A Long-Lasting Bulb, a Solid Projector

The PowerLite 1795F has a long rated lamp life, up to 7,000 hours in Eco mode and iv,000 hours in normal mode, the same as the ratings on Epson's 1781W. That'due south practiced for an LCD data projector, and better than the 4,000 hours in both Eco and normal mode in the Epson 1761W. Still, it's well brusque of the Casio XJ-A247, whose hybrid LED-laser calorie-free engine's bulb tin last upwardly to 20,000 hours, essentially the lifetime of the projector.

In sum, the Epson PowerLite 1795F is a thin-and-light projector, with good effulgence and loftier resolution, delivering adept data and very good video-image quality, and a wide range of connectivity choices. Equally an LCD-based projector, it cannot project 3D content, which you can find in many portable WXGA data projectors such as the ViewSonic PJD6544w. With fifty-fifty higher resolution and better data image quality, the Epson EX9200 Pro Wireless WUXGA 3LCD Projector retains its Editors' Choice as an nether-$1,000 high-resolution data projector, but the PowerLite 1795F is a lighter and more portable alternative.
