There's a reason, in fact many reasons that Epson makes the best-selling projectors in the world. The PowerLite S9 Multimedia Projector is one of them. The SVGA projector is an ideal choice for educators or business people looking for light weight and solid core features at a very reasonable price.
To begin with, the S9's 3LCD system splits light into its primary colors with mirrors that reflect each color onto its own LCD chip. It sounds like magic but the result is a very real rendering of the most brilliant color available. Better yet, the S9 uses 25% less electricity per lumen of brightness compared to single chip projectors.
The PowerLite S9 packs a lot of power in a small package, too. 2,500 lumens measured on the more stringent ISO 21118 standard are backed with a crisp 2,000:1 contrast ratio to fill screens up to 29' (8.9 m) with the most brilliant, balanced color available.
Convenience features include Instant Off, which eliminates cool-down time and gets you on the way to your next class or meeting, as well as Direct Power On / Off which allows the unit to be powered up or down via a wall switch; a handy feature when the S9 is ceiling mounted.
The S9's built-in speaker doesn't get any competition from the low-noise fan either. At 29dB in Eco mode, the unit is whisper-quiet. And speaking of Eco mode, it's one of the many "green" features of the S9. Besides quiet operation, Eco lengthens the life of the energy-efficient E-TORL lamp from 4,000 to 5,000 hours.
The PowerLite S9's connectivity includes Component, Composite, S-video and USB type B for remote control and Plug n' Play functionality with Mac or PC computers. You can forget about fumbling with VGA cables forever. There's also a monitor output and an audio output for headphones or a powered external speaker.
At only 5.1 lb the S9's a good candidate for a travel companion and just might rack up quite a few miles in your carry-on. And there's no limit to where it can go. The S9 is world-ready. It's capable of handling NTSC, PAL and SECAM color systems and with its multi-voltage power source, it can be used anywhere there's electricity. A multi-language on-screen display adds to its universality.
Oh, and just to make sure that it doesn't do any unauthorized travel, security is covered by Panel Lock as well as a Kensington Lock slot.
