Epson EMP-7850
The Epson EMP-7850 is an installation and large venue projector. It’s rated at 3500 ANSI lumens. Only the Canon was rated higher. Epson also sells a 5200 ANSI lumens model if 3500 isn’t enough.
The EMP-7850 is an LCD-based projector with a native resolution of 1024 x 768. Epson’s next model up, the EMP-9000, has a native resolution of 1366 x 1024.
The EMP-7850 features a PC Card slot for adding peripherals or a wireless card. Epson supplied an 802.11b wireless LAN card. This will enable you to do a presentation without having to use any cables. The EMP-7850 featured all the standard connectors except for component video.
As for picture quality, the Epson was excellent. It was sharp as well as bright and it had a very even picture. However, we had to move the projector closer to our screen as it was projecting way outside our screen boundaries. We had to move it approximately 80cm closer so the projected image could fit perfectly on our 110in screen. To be fair, we moved the projector back to five metres and found the brightness levels had reduced by as much as 25 percent.

Dear Sir,
Just to clarify the review of the XL30U. Contrast ratio is actually 500:1 and the product has a RRP of $8490.
Could we please have this amended.
