Take a closer look at the PowerLite S3's functions.</td></tr></table> Epson 3LCD technology ensures accurate color and remarkable saturation, even in well-lit rooms. Plus, specialized color modes mean you get the most vibrant images, whatever the situation, and solid state technology allows the unit to operate without a moving color wheel. Accurate color registration makes your images rainbow-free for crisp, detailed video and still images. Smooth video playback means that onscreen action sequences come alive. And best of all, the 76C makes setup a breeze. The projector also features a time-saving instant off feature--no cooldown is required.

Great for Presentations
Because the S3 is so light, you can take it anywhere, making it ideal for presenters on the go. The instant off feature lets you turn off the projector and unplug it immediately--then you're off to your next presentation. Epson 3LCD technology consistently delivers vibrant images and rich color saturation, plus a deep, extensive gray scale for precision detail--even subtle gradations are visible. There's a USB port for mouse and keyboard connectivity, and a brightness control function is provided for various settings to extend lamp life and provide more cost effective operation. There's even an included soft carry case.

Video Magic
Not just for presenters, the 76C shines in the living room, too. The projector's smooth video playback makes onscreen action come alive. It offers a big-screen performance in 4:3 or 16:9 modes, making it easy to enjoy DVDs or video games with amazing color and detail. It's even HDTV-ready, and it supports supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i formats. The S3's analog connections include video-RGB, composite video, S-video, component video (via video-RGB), and audio RCA.

Easy Setup and Maintenance
To make setup easier, a source search function automatically displays the connected input source(s) and switches instantly between various sources. With the included full-featured remote control you can easily switch sources, control presentation functions, and more. Plus, the projector has a four-second startup time to avoid presentation delays and reduce pre-presentation jitters. Color-coded cables make connectivity easy for first-time users. Lastly, 30-degree keystone correction offers greater positioning flexibility without any distortion.

Maintaining the 76C is a breeze, too. Conveniently placed lamp and air filters are designed for easy, affordable changes, even when the projector is ceiling-mounted. A front-mounted fan quickly cools the projector, especially in high-altitude locations. The 76C ships with a two-year limited warranty, plus a 90-day lamp warranty for added dependability. During the duration of the two-year limited warranty, the Epson Road Service program provides a replacement projector, typically within 24 hours. The warranty is good in over 45 countries and Epson supplies a toll-free support line.

What's in the Box

Theater Mode.......2007-05-12

I use my Epson primarily in the "theater" mode. It replaced a Sharp Projector I had for many years. Of course the Sharp projector was dedicated to theater-type projection. This is a primary weakness in this model Epson projector, although it is adequate. I had to make major adjustments and rearrange furniture to adjust it to my 8ft home screen by moving it several feet closer. I, therefore think the zoom lens needs much more latitude. The "theater" mode could use a setting to adjust the screen considerably smaller. Also remote autofocus would be nice.

My projector seems to have some problems projecting skin tones. Depending on the type of medium projected on the screen, sometimes skin tones appear chalky.

Aside from these factors, I love the overall color quality and brightness projected. Even with the bulb in economical low mode, I get more than enough light to the screen, even under the conditions of regular household lighting. Sometimes the detail seems almost HD, and I use standard cable.

Considering the cost of the projector and bulb replacements, I think it is a good projector

Epson Projectors are just plain GREAT.......2007-05-12

In my line of work, I do about twenty to thirty hours of presentations a week. I have to set up and break down my computer and projector on a daily basis. My Epson Powerlite is a godsend. It is powerful, has great resolution, is light and easy to carry, connects to both a Mac and a PC easily, and best of all is quiet. I love that it comes with a case that was intelligently designed. It is padded, protected, and well positioned so that it easily carries on your shoulder. The image is easily resized (which comes in handy because rooms are not always the same dimensions). The resolution is great when the projector is ten feet from the screen as well as ninety feet. I have a tendency to abuse my electronics, because I have to travel with them so often. The Epson projector and my Macbook Pro have held up to the extreme beating with flying colors. It's a great combination that comes complete with all of the cabling you'll need to operate. The only other purchase I've had to make is an extension cord. This is a topflight projector.

effective and easy to use.......2007-05-01

We purchased this projector 5 months ago and have not had any problems with it. It was easy to connect; the remote is simple, useful and powerful. We only use the projector a about 4 hours a week so we can't predict how it would behave under more strenuous conditions. All in all a great purchase.

Epson 76C LCD Projector.......2007-03-15

I never used a projector before. It is easy to set up and the picture is awesome. I was looking around for specific features such as the 2000 lumens and the 1024x768 native resolution that the Epson 76C has. For the price, the quality is great!

Powerful and light too.......2007-03-12

Projector is easily portable, easy to run, and bright. Directions are clear and simple. Works perfectly with laptop, slides fill screen from about ten feet away.
