Overview
The Epson VS335W is a compact business projector with capabilities well suited for quick setup and use in a conference room environment. At just over 5 pounds it is light enough and compact enough for use by a business traveler needing a projector with enough light output for use in a moderately large venue or where the room lighting cannot be well controlled. It projects a very sharp image, limited only by its native 1280 x 800 resolution, and offers picture modes providing good color accuracy. Epson sells a wide range of compact business projectors, including more expensive models offering higher light output and/or more built-in features than this model. However, with a retail price of just $529.99 the VS335W provides the essential features needed for a typical business application and what it does, it does very well.
Among the other models in Epson's VS series is the VS350W that, when reviewed in 2011 (Review is HERE), received our "Special Interest Award" for, among other attributes, providing exceptionally high light output for an under $1000 portable projector. The VS335W is in some ways a little brother (e.g., smaller, lighter, less light output, less zoom range, and lower priced) of that previously reviewed model.
