Epson Home Cinema 640 review

epson-640-01

Looking for a big, bright image for cheap? Projectors like the Epson Home Cinema 640 can make a picture bigger than any TV, for a fraction of the price.

This little white unit is superior in pretty much every way to the iRulu BL20 ($150), but compared with more expensive units like the Optoma HD142X ($550), the Epson 640’s main weakness shows through: lower resolution. Although it will take any high-def source like your cable box, Roku or game console, the image it throws on your screen isn’t native HD. It’s less detailed and blockier and shows issues like jagged lines that true, native 1080p projectors don’t.

The image still looks very good, however, so if you want something better than the deeply flawed iRulu but can’t justify the cost of a “real” HD projector, the 640 is a great choice.
