This projector is a very good choice for home entertainment as well as work in an office or in the lab [my case]. It is very bright even when operated in economy mode. The self adjusting feature is very good, like for instance the auto keystone. The menu is easy to navigate, and efficient. The lamp is good, and cheap. The projector is quiet, and doesn't get too hot while operating. The cover lid for the lamp is a good extra. The machine is light and very easy to carry with the provided bag.

The remote could be bigger with bigger buttons. The VGA cable is rather short but can be replaced with a 10ft super-VGA shielded video cable for about $20.

In essence, a must buy! Clear, bright and sharp images/videos at a very reasonable price. I had a DELL projector before and I regret I didn't trust EPSON to begin with!

I make my living from selling my scenic photography at the National Parks. I wanted a projector for doing slide shows of my work. I went to Fry's to the projector section and looked at all the projected images without paying any attention to price or projector, just the projected images and then when I decided which image looked the best, I looked to see what projector was projecting that image and it was the Epson 77c. A couple of weeks later I went to a Fry's in another city and did the same thing and I chose the Epson 77c again, which convinced me that it had the best color and contrast. While a DLP projector will have a much higher contrast ratio specification I did not find that the image they project looked as good as the one from the Epson 77c.

I used my Epson 77c at a trade show recently to display video at my booth and even on the economy setting it was more than bright enough to allow me to have a big screen display that matched my other computer displays in my booth. It is much brighter than I expected, even on the low range. I gave a slide show and after the show we realized that we had forgotten to turn out the lights. The Epson 77c was so bright we just didn't notice!

I went to Fry's a week or so ago and did the same test. There were a couple of projectors that projected brighter images that had at least as good color and contrast as my 77c. When I checked to see what they were I discovered that they were the more expensive models in the same Epson 3LCD line of projectors as the 77c. If money is not an issue you might want to consider the PowerLite 1715c, which is brighter and smaller, but is about twice as expensive and the light bulbs don't last as long.

The bulbs for digital projectors are quite expensive. Compared to other brands, the Epson 3LCD bulbs are a bargain at $184. The DLP bulbs I looked at were in the $400 range. The Epson 77c gets 4000 hours out of a bulb on the low power setting and 3000 on the high setting. My Epson 77c is nearly silent on the low range and very quiet on the high setting.

I am very happy with my 77c and the manager of at least one location where I gave a slide show ordered one for their location from Amazon the next day. I would highly recommend this product.

This is an incredible, very light, very bright projector. No setup time required except to take it out of the box and point it at the wall. Comes with its own shoulder carry case, which is appreciated, because I saw reviews of other projectors that did not come with a case. I hooked up my computer to it and projected it in a sun-drenched office with the fluorescent lights on, and it was still bright as a television set. Therefore I look forward to giving presentations without dimming the lights. I expected to pay 300 more for a projector of this quality.

What a great machine! Works great with computer, VCR, or DVD player. Easy to set up, run, and adjust on the fly. My wife and I watch movies at home using the projector, which creates a huge view on our white living room wall - we don't even need to have a screen! Strongly recommended, but shop around for a good price.

I have found this item to be everything it claims to be: easy to use, full of helpful features, and a much brighter image that many more expensive projectors. I particularly like the relatively light weight, and the sliding shutter that allows the user to immediately dim the image with the projector going into a "stand-by" mode that takes forever to recover from. Works well with both Mac and PC!

I have been using my Epson Powerlite 77c for a month now as a high school history teacher. It is a great product. Its brightness is tremendous with 2200 lumens. Battery life is about 1000 hours longer than the typical projector and the features on the menu are very user friendly. On top of this, it was cheap relative to other projectors. For an educator it has done the job and some. It is light, comes is an easily accessible case, and easy to set up (2 minutes).

Bought this for the classroom. First of all this is a very bright projector. I operate it in low brightness mode (to get the maximum bulb life) and the prsentations are still very bright in a well illuminated classroom. The picture is crisp at 1024 x 768. The auto settings mean that I have not had to adjust anything. I use it with a SmartBoard and it deals with any type of media presentation that I throw at it. At the end of the day the best feature is the very quick switch off with fanless cool down. I have used several different brands of projector and this is the best so far.

This is the best projector we've used, but it isn't perfect. Even with all of the color corrections possible using the menu system, photos don't come out exactly as seen on the monitor. Start up and shut down are easy. The menu works easily and well.
For the price, it is very acceptable.

this product is not bad. have great functions and could fit any office or home user. one issue with the product is that you can not tell how many hours left of the current bulb. so do not buy a used one.

The Epson Powerlite 77c is the best projector on the market for the price. You can't beat the combination of 2200 lumens and XGA resolution for under $600. I own a sales training and consulting company and use it for all of my training programs. Even in daylight conditions it is bright and I have not had any problems with my attendees being able to see my power point presentation.

NOTE: I have not used it yet for viewing videos or movies but my previous projector (Epson S1 Lite) did an adequate job (and it had only 1500 lumens with SVGA resolution).
