The Epson PowerLite S5 is affordable, lightweight, and consistently top of the line. It comes with a 2 year warranty and contains all of the necessities required of a high quality, maximum performance home theater projector.
While the Epson PowerLite S5 is much like its predecessors, the S5 is lighter and brighter than any model before it. This packs a punch in the home theater industry as it provides more bang for your buck. If you’re interested in cheap, badly made projectors than there’s plenty of other brands out there, but Epson builds its products to stand the test of time while performing its upmost duty to the viewer by providing a smooth, enriched image all the way through.
Many projectors (and businesses in general) tend to come up short of their claims when tested, but Epson has generously outdone themselves when it comes to the PowerLite S5. It is dramatically brighter than what they claim it to be and exceeds expectations when it comes to performance. The Epson PowerLite S5 comes with a more compact remote control than the S4 for sleeker design and comfort.
While the Epson S5 is a wonderful projector, it comes with less resolution capabilities than most modern day computers. The projector will compress anything it can to make up for this, but small objects in the film will appear slightly smaller than what they’re supposed to be. If you can afford it, a higher resolution projector would present you with a better overall quality but those with a limited budget can expect just as good quality as any other SVGA projector. Most Epson PowerLite S5′s are sold to schools and small businesses and are the preferred projector for the education system due to the high performance you receive compared to the low price.
The S5 is a lot quiter than many home theater projectors with only 35 db of sound with the lamp on maximum output. When the lamp is in low power mode the noise level drops to 28 db which is extremely quiet. In a small room you will definitely be able to hear some amount of noise coming from the projector, but it won’t be so bad that you’ll have to scream just to be heard. You should find the noise to be more of an observation rather than an annoyance.
