The Best All-in-One Projector

Epson MovieMate 72 High-Definition Projector

These things are awesome! A single device with built in speakers, dvd player, and high definition projector. Now I must admit that they do not display full high definition and lack features of high quality stand alone projectors, but they are great for a lot of other reasons. The most notable is the ease of use and portability. Along with Epson's Duet Portable Screen you can take this device anywhere you have a power connection and watch a movie. Not only that but it is as easy as plugging it in and throwing a DVD in. Outside movie nights in the summer can not be beat.

Importand Features

  • Resolution - 720p HD (1280 x 720)
  • Brightness - 1200 lumens
  • Display Technology - 3 chip LCD
  • Audio - Four 5 watt speakers

There are other all-in-one projectors out there and for the most part Epson makes any notable ones. For a cheaper price they offer the MovieMate 60, which bumps up the brightness to 2000 lumens which can be nice, but there is a loss of resolution down to WSVGA (960 x 540). Because of the large image sizes (up to 10 feet!), resolution can make a big difference in image quality and this is the reason the MovieMate 72 beat out the MovieMate 60.
