Epson EX3240 review
Epson EX3240: Compact Helper for Basic Functions
This Epson EX3240 review demonstrates that the device is a decent variant for those who like simplicity and quality. It works without noise, is compatible with most modern laptops and PCs, and has a lamp with a high working resource (up to 10 000 hours). Pay attention that you can’t connect the webcam directly via USB port, as the last one is suitable only for memory devices. Moreover, the Epson EX3240 projector won’t work with PPT format, as it is meant to be used for photos/videos displaying.
Setup
The adjusting process takes a few minutes because the device comes with the manual, complemented with the detailed setting up process. It can be easily adjusted via the HDMI. The specified unit focuses without problems and most of the setup procedures can be done intuitively. The Epson EX3240 driver is available on the official manufacturer’s website, so its owner can correct errors and fix the failures of the device when needed.
Features
The image quality is excellent – 3LCD technology achieves advantages in brightness up to 3 times compared with competitors. Such technology provides an equally high level of luminous flux in white and in colors of 3200 lumens. This powerful SVGA projector (800 x 600) creates a bright, very natural, rich colors, and subtle image details even in lighted rooms. It has an integrated 2W speaker, which is loud enough for a medium-sized room. The manufacturer presented to the user via the unit not only impressive Epson EX3240 specs but also supplemented its product with a 2-year warranty and 90-days warranty for the lamp. There’s the ability to connect the projector to a computer using a USB cable with a USB Type-B connector. The Epson iProjection app must be installed for this feature to work. With this type of connection, the images and documents can be displayed.
Design
The projector case is not the smallest (14.5 x 13.8 x 6.2 inches) and lightest (5.29 pounds) in the class, but still, it can be easily transported in a small bag and is perceived as a mobile solution. The case panels are glossy, but some small scratches are not visible. Moreover, due to the use of white plastic, the barely visible fingerprints don’t spoil the design. Build quality is good and no obvious defects are found. There’s a lens with a movable shutter, a frontal receiver of signals from the remote control, and also a ventilation grill from the front side of the unit. The output of warm air allows you to install the projector in a box. On the back side, there is a power connector, an HDMI connector, USB Type-A and Type-B connector, as well as a system speaker. All these connectors work seamlessly.
Conclusion
The projector leaves a positive impression, as it is quite light and small, provides sufficient luminous flux for home theaters or any other objects, and the image contrast is very high. This unit has various connectors, can be easily adjusted, and controlled even via the special app.
