Epson 8350 vs Epson PowerLite 77c - what is best for you?
Let’s compare Epson 8350 vs Epson PowerLite 77c
If you are one of the dreamers who think that going to cinema takes too much time or just not convenient enough and therefore decides to make a home cinema just inside the house, then this article is for you. Today we will have a look at two home cinemas and you then decide, which one, Epson 8350 or Epson PowerLite 77c, better suits your needs.
Native resolution. If you want to enjoy the top TV-shows and latest films, your ideal choice is Epson 8350. However, if you love art house and enjoy watching comedies back from 80-s, there is no need for such a hi-tech and I would advise you to choose Epson PowerLite 77c instead.
USB compatibility. If you are the one who got used to stick the USB and start watching 300 episodes in a go, in our comparison Epson PowerLite 77c vs Epson 8350, PowerLite will be the best choice here just due to the fact that Epson 8350 doesn’t have any USB ports, so need to use HDMI instead.
Speakers. One more advantage of Epson PowerLite 77c versus Epson 8350 is an integrated speaker. So if suddenly your sound system failed, you can hear at least some of the dialogues.
Epson 8350 Home Theater Projector pros & cons
Pros of Epson 8350:
- I never actually hear the projector while watching the movie, it is extremely quiet.
- The lens shift is a nice feature. In my house, the projector is located about 60 cm left of center, however, it still projects right at the center of the screen.
Cons of Epson 8350:
- It is massive. You won’t move it easily or take it with you when going to a friend’s house.
- I quite enjoyed The Deep Blacks that this projector offers, however, I can’t say it was amazing or so, there are better choices for it.
Epson PowerLite 77c Home Theater Projector pros & cons
Pros of Epson PowerLite 77c:
- Best versatility ever – I have an opinion that it can suit any purpose at all with its S-Video, SVGA, and multiple inputs.
- I have managed to start fully enjoying the film within 8s, was impressed with fast warm-up and cool-down times.
Cons of Epson PowerLite 77c:
- It would be nice if it was brighter. Sometimes it is hard for me to watch a film during the day as I have windows in the room it is in.
- Quite hard to clean dust, especially on the ceiling.
