Epson EX3260 SVGA 3,300 Lumens Portable Projector: Displayed Image

One key feature of this projector is the brightness of the displayed images. At 3,300 lumens, the images are bright even in well-lit rooms, which makes this projector ideal especially for business or classroom presentations.

The projector has an SVGA display, which is 800x600 pixels. The somewhat lower resolution is another reason this projector is better for a work environment than a home environment. The aspect ratio is 4:3. Note that these images are projected onto my 120" screen.

Epson EX3260 SVGA 3,300 Lumens Portable Projector: Media Connection Options and Ports

In the back is a port for the power cable, a USB-A port (which is where you would connect the optional Wireless LAN Module (ELPAP10)), a USB-B port, R/L audio and video RCA input ports, VGA port, and an HDMI port. Note that this projector does not have audio output ports–the built-in mono speaker is fine for business or classroom presentations, but is not really a good option for home cinema uses.
