The Epson EX9200 review shows that among the solid unit with modern specs, the manufacturer completed the device with the possibility to shift the image up or down via the lens shift function or the front leg height changing. A medium-sized remote control is a bonus, but it doesn’t have the backlighting of the keys and there is no built-in laser pointer, so such an accessory might be not really useful for studying and work (you can’t highlight some essential moments with the laser pointer). The device itself produces some noise while working and it seems the hard drive creates these buzzing sounds.
You need to install the projector in front of the screen, connect the power cable, and turn the device on. After connecting the, for example, PC with Windows 10, you should get acquainted with the appeared dialogue box and chose the Epson USB Display software for further installing. It will take a few minutes (this procedure is almost the same for Windows and Mac). Particular attention should be given to the Epson EX9200 wireless setup, as the adjustment process can be easily done at a distance and requires no specific skills. All the person has to do is to scan the on-screen QR code via the available phone or tablet.
The projector is equipped with a USB port and is able to display presentations, videos, and images from MHL-enabled devices and tablets even when their charging. It’s also possible to start the video via the Wi-Fi; it’s required only the special software on the PC or the app. The 1900x1200 resolution and 3200 lumens color brightness allow watching realty deep and vivid picture even in the sunny room (without diffusion or colors fading). The projector is equipped with one 2W mono speaker. Pay attention that the Epson EX9200 projector does not have many wired connection options, but there is a pair of HDMI ports, and one of them supports the MHL standard (combines the functionality of HDMI and Micro-USB and is designed to connect mobile devices). There is also a standard D-Sub connector for hooking up to a PC.
Impressive Epson EX9200 specs are herd into the small body frame (9.6 x 11.7 x 3.2 inches), which weight is only 5.7 pounds, so any even the most ordinary bracket will withstand it. The case itself is made of black plastic that does not particularly afraid of various fingerprints or scratches (even the glossy surface). There is a lens equipped with a shutter with mechanical control, a frontal receiver of the remote control signals, a height-adjustable leg with the usual locking mechanism, and also a ventilation grill on the front side. Besides, ventilation holes allow you to install the projector in a box without worrying about overheating. On the back of the projector, the minimum necessary set is presented: 2 HDMI connectors, one of which supports MHL and another one allows various kinds of multimedia devices connection. There’s also a USB Type-A (USB 2.0), USB Type-B control connector (mini USB), mini-jack 3 audio output, as well as a rear remote control signal receiver, and system speaker. The desk prop is adjustable, so I can adapt the device’s position according to my needs.
The projector is definitely worthy as it is small, lightweight, and is complemented with the Wi-Fi. What is much more important is it has a very rich image quality and high brightness, coupled with fairly good contrast. The wireless setup and lots of well-working connectors belong to the basic unit peculiarities.
