    Epson PowerLite 53c

    Enlarge

    The Epson PowerLite 53c is priced in the middle of the pack, yet it has one of the highest ANSI lumen ratings (1,700) of the products in our review group. We measured its brightness at 1,336 lumens, placing it in the top three. And despite its three-panel LCD design, the PowerLite showed excellent convergence.

    Aside from one noticeably bright pixel defect and some small artifacts on color ramps, the PowerLite's image quality was superb. Epson also sponsors a free Presenters Online Web site (www.presentersonline.com) with tutorials, free clip art, and more. The PowerLite 53c is an excellent choice.
