Epson BrightLink 697ui Interactive Projector Review

Epson describes its BrightLink 697Ui ultra short-throw interactive display as “the ultimate academic collaboration tool,” and it’s nothing short of amazing. It boasts a full high-definition image of up to 100 inches diagonal from as close as 10 inches away from the screen. It is a powerhouse with great projection and many collaborative and interactive features. The native resolution on the 697Ui is 1920×1200 (Full HD) WUXGA widescreen, and the color brightness is a whopping 4400 lumens. When installed on a wall painted with “idea paint” (dry-erase marker paint), the display’s true interactivity came to life. The 697Ui comes with a one-year subscription to the SMART Learning Suite of interactive tools, including SMART Notebook. The 697Ui allows for wireless projecting from any device (including iOS, Android, Chromebooks, and Windows-based computers and tablets) as well as content sharing back to these devices. It also offers built-in PC-free whiteboard tools for interactive collaboration in the classroom and with offsite participants.

QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS

The 697Ui is easy to install on a variety of surfaces and simple to calibrate for instant interactivity. Even with classroom lights on, it presents a bright and engaging image.

EASE OF USE

Everything from the onscreen setup to setting up the license for the SMART Learning Suite and navigating the PC-free whiteboard mode is easy to follow and user-friendly. Our teachers really liked the spotlight and reveal tools which allowed them to present using virtual versions of a sliding paper on an old transparency projector. The PC-free annotation tools can also be used with document cameras and DVD-players that are connected to the display to bring those tools to life with more engaging learning opportunities.

Short Throw Projection: Pros and Cons

When discussing the throw capabilities of a projector, the “short vs long” code is referring to the amount of distance you’ll need to “throw” an image between the projector itself and the screen to get the display size you desire. Simply put, the lens and mirror assembly built into a projector determine its throw distance capability. While most projectors send light onto the screen directly through the lens, Ultra Short Throw projectors direct the emitting lens light away from the screen — reflecting from a mirror of specific angle to direct the image on the screen. This is how they achieve the narrow distance from the installation point to the screen. Regardless of the brand, these are categorized by how much distance the projector needs from the screen to create a 100″ image.

Why Go Short?

A big reason for schools, and even the home theatre crowd, opt for short or ultra-short throw projectors in the clarity of picture, sans annoying shadows. No longer will “little bunny Foo-Foo” hop across the algebra equations, thanks to Johnny in the front row. And Uncle Mike crossing the room for a popcorn refill won’t inadvertently black out the screen just as the culprit in the evening’s who-dun-it is revealed. The close placement of the projector to the wall or whiteboard relieves any disturbance of the picture.

Epson VS250 SVGA Projector Review

The Epson VS250 has a great design—it’s basically everything we want in a projector and looks good to boot. At 11.9 x 9.2 x 3.2 inches and 5.3 pounds, it’s a nice size, and if it had a higher resolution, we’d have no problem recommending it.

One of our favorite features is that the projector automatically adjusts its vertical keystone when you extend the kickstand. The stand is a little wobbly and made from plastic, but it can do the job.

In place of the vertical keystone adjustment you would find on most other projectors, there is a horizontal keystone right behind the focus dial. This is amazing because you don’t have to point the projector straight at your projection surface. You can put the projector off to the side and adjust the distortion with the keystone, making this projector much more versatile. For example, you could put it on your nightstand next to the bed and project movies onto your wall. The rear feet are also adjustable so that you can level the projector on any surface. It even has a standard tripod mounting option.

The lens is high quality and offers 3,200 lumens of brightness. We found the focus adjustment very smooth and accurate. Instead of a lens cap, the projector has a built-in cover that you can slide open to expose the lens, and when it’s closed it mutes both audio and video. We thought this is a great design—no more missing lens caps!

The fan and cooling system is very well-designed, quiet, and even has a removable dust filter. The single 2W mono speaker is located in the back of the projector alongside all the connectivity ports.
