This projector is a very good choice for home entertainment as well as work in an office or in the lab [my case]. It is very bright even when operated in economy mode. The self adjusting feature is very good, like for instance the auto keystone. The menu is easy to navigate, and efficient. The lamp is good, and cheap. The projector is quiet, and doesn’t get too hot while operating. The cover lid for the lamp is a good extra. The machine is light and very easy to carry with the provided bag.
The remote could be bigger with bigger buttons. The VGA cable is rather short but can be replaced with a 10ft super-VGA shielded video cable for about $20.
In essence, a must buy! Clear, bright and sharp images/videos at a very reasonable price. I had a DELL projector before and I regret I didn’t trust EPSON to begin with!

I make my living from selling my scenic photography at the National Parks. I wanted a projector for doing slide shows of my work. I went to Fry’s to the projector section and looked at all the projected images without paying any attention to price or projector, just the projected images and then when I decided which image looked the best, I looked to see what projector was projecting that image and it was the Epson 77c. A couple of weeks later I went to a Fry’s in another city and did the same thing and I chose the Epson 77c again, which convinced me that it had the best color and contrast. While a DLP projector will have a much higher contrast ratio specification I did not find that the image they project looked as good as the one from the Epson 77c.
I used my Epson 77c at a trade show recently to display video at my booth and even on the economy setting it was more than bright enough to allow me to have a big screen display that matched my other computer displays in my booth. It is much brighter than I expected, even on the low range. I gave a slide show and after the show we realized that we had forgotten to turn out the lights. The Epson 77c was so bright we just didn’t notice!
I went to Fry’s a week or so ago and did the same test. There were a couple of projectors that projected brighter images that had at least as good color and contrast as my 77c. When I checked to see what they were I discovered that they were the more expensive models in the same Epson 3LCD line of projectors as the 77c. If money is not an issue you might want to consider the PowerLite 1715c, which is brighter and smaller, but is about twice as expensive and the light bulbs don’t last as long.
The bulbs for digital projectors are quite expensive. Compared to other brands, the Epson 3LCD bulbs are a bargain at $184. The DLP bulbs I looked at were in the $400 range. The Epson 77c gets 4000 hours out of a bulb on the low power setting and 3000 on the high setting. My Epson 77c is nearly silent on the low range and very quiet on the high setting.
I am very happy with my 77c and the manager of at least one location where I gave a slide show ordered one for their location from Amazon the next day. I would highly recommend this product.

This is an incredible, very light, very bright projector. No setup time required except to take it out of the box and point it at the wall. Comes with its own shoulder carry case, which is appreciated, because I saw reviews of other projectors that did not come with a case. I hooked up my computer to it and projected it in a sun-drenched office with the fluorescent lights on, and it was still bright as a television set. Therefore I look forward to giving presentations without dimming the lights. I expected to pay 300 more for a projector of this quality.
