When I purchased it, I was impressed by the ability to project shows without a PC attached. But in practice it seemed there were more options than I had realized. I tried out the 802.11g wireless connection to a laptop. It worked fine for slides, but was unacceptably jerky for video (MPEG2 and DVD's) although this may have been due to the older laptop I used. I did not try out the multiple laptop connection feature but presume it works the same. I also showed my presentation without a PC. This process requires you to install their software, and then to convert your PowerPoint .ppt show to the Epson-recognizable format. Place the resultant files on your USB thumb drive which plugs into the projector and off you go. Worked perfectly on simple presentations, but didn't sequence some of my fly-in labels properly. (They all three flew in at once.) So if you have a more complex presentation, I'd be prepared for surprises. It showed a folder of (non-PowerPoint) JPEG images without a hitch. Advancing them with the remote was intuitive. But "PC-Free" projection of mpeg files was hit-and-miss. One worked fine, one didn't project at all. Other features (auto-keystone correction etc.) all worked as expected. I like the product, but I'm not depending on it for video.

This projector's quality is excellent and it is very easy to use. I highly recommend it for use with small groups and to groups of over 100. The visual image is very clear in large and small rooms.

This is an excellent piece of machine for wireless connectivity and powerpoint presentation. It is remarkably quiet and very light to lug arround. Using wireless connectivity with MPEG movie is not as smooth hence, cable connection maybe better with movie presentation.

Overall I am imporessed with this unit and I can't wait for my next presentation where I will do it wirelessly.....good buy....

This projector is smaller than I expected and really displays great pictures, even on dark walls. Love the wireless and PC less capability. Very impressed so far.
