Optoma EH341 Data Projector Review

December 04, 2015 · Optoma

This year, a range of data projectors have been released, but one of the best has to be the Optoma EH341. Whereas many data projectors are built in WXGA or XGA resolution, the EH341 delivers 1080p Full HD images. Compared to other similarly priced multimedia projectors, the EH341’s images are far superior, crisper and clearer. [caption id="attachment_1321" align="aligncenter" width="483"]

That makes this a fierce portable projector, capable of delivering a brightness suited for small to mid-sized venues. A projector this lightweight and that delivers Full HD images and impressive brightness is certainly a step forward, and that’s precisely why this projector might be called the best budget friendly multimedia projector of the year. A Quick Look at the EH341’s Specs Brightness, image quality and portability: That’s what sets this projector apart from the competition. For example, comparatively priced machines released in 2015 like the BenQ MH630 doesn’t quite match the image quality or brightness of the EH341.

Image Quality: Compared to Full HD data projectors, the EH341 is one of the premier machines. Using BrilliantColor technology and high contrast, the projector delivers some of the most vibrant, razor sharp images in the class. The contrast ratio of 20,000:1 is double that of the MH630. In effect, the EH341 is one of the best projectors for data images that feature high levels of detail and crispness, like complex diagrams and long lists of data. Plus, because of its imaging, it’s probably one of the best – if not the best – for displaying 3D images.
Brightness and Portability: It’s nothing new for a projector to weigh about 5 pounds and measure about the size of a dictionary. In fact, many similarly priced data projectors have about the same size and weight. But thanks to its 3,500 lumen output and superior imaging capabilities, the EH341 is certainly one of the best for handling mid-sized venues, something lessor data projectors just can’t handle.

Of course, the projector packs in a range of other useful features that you’ll find from many 2015 releases. For example, the projector is equipped with 2 HDMI outlets, including one with MHL compatibility, and one VGA outlet. That enables a range of input devices to be connected, including tablets and smartphones. Plus, the Eco+ technology increases standard lamp life up to 8,000 hours. That’s impressive, helping to reduce the overall cost of ownership. Additionally a built-in 10W speaker system delivers crisp audio for small to mid-sized venues. Optoma EH341: The Final Verdict Starting at just about $899, the EH341 is one of the best budget-friendly data projectors released in 2015. Its images are well above average and may just be the best-in-class. Plus, it carries all the capabilities that business presenters and educators need, including audio, useful connectivity, wireless options and manual zoom and focus. If you need a data projector capable for delivering finely detailed images, this is certainly the best option for you.
