Based on LCD technology, the Epson EMP 30 device delivers 800 ANSI lumens, a resolution of SVGA 800 x 600 and a contrast of 400:1 as a projector. The manufacturer rates the durability of the included lamp at 1500 hours. Regarding projection size, the value of 800 ANSI lumens allows for an image width of up to 246 cm in darkened environments. In rooms with ambient light, the image width should be correspondingly reduced to a maximum of 164 cm. Since entering the market in 2002, production has been discontinued; the manufacturer no longer actively offers the model.
Our EMP-30 is about 4 years old and is used at least 3 times a week. Despite the many operating hours, it still runs perfectly. The only weak point is that the room has to be almost completely dark to get a good picture. But I can still recommend the device.
