Amazon.com Product Description
Want to take your presentations, movies, video games, and television programs to the next level? The Epson PowerLite S3 can take you there. Fill your home, office, or classroom with glorious, larger-than-life images using this affordable 5.6-pound projector. The projector, which features 800 x 600 (SVGA) resolution, delivers 1600 lumens so you can experience all your entertainment with oversized images that surpass even big-screen TVs.



Take a closer look at the PowerLite S3's functions.
Epson 3LCD technology ensures accurate color and remarkable saturation, even in well-lit rooms. Plus, specialized color modes mean you get the most vibrant images, whatever the situation, and smooth video playback means that onscreen action sequences come alive. And best of all, the PowerLite S3 makes setup a breeze. The projector also features a time-saving instant off feature.

Great for Presentations
Because the S3 is so light, you can take it anywhere, making it ideal for presenters on the go. The instant off feature lets you turn off the projector and unplug it immediately--then you're off to your next presentation. Epson 3LCD technology consistently delivers vibrant images and rich color saturation, plus a deep, extensive gray scale for precision detail--even subtle gradations are visible. There's also a USB port for mouse and keyboard connectivity, as well as an included soft carry case.

Video Magic
Not just for presenters, the S3 shines in the living room, too. Just switch the projector from presentation mode to theater mode, and suddenly, you've got an amazing home theater. The S3's smooth video playback makes onscreen action come alive. It offers a big-screen performance that makes it easy to enjoy DVDs or video games with amazing color and detail. It's even HDTV-ready, and you can select both traditional and widescreen formats (4:3/16:9). Plus, you can choose the photo mode for viewing digital slideshows. This mode offers black-and-white enhancement levels to view more detail, even in over- and under-exposed images. Finally, game mode enhances darker images, giving you a better gaming experience. The S3's analog connections include video-RGB, composite video, S-video, component video (via video-RGB), and audio RCA.

Easy Setup and Maintenance
With the included full-featured remote control you can easily switch sources, control presentation functions, and more. Plus, the projector has a five-second startup time to avoid presentation delays and reduce pre-presentation jitters. Color-coded cables make connectivity easy for first-time users. Lastly, 30-degree keystone correction offers greater positioning flexibility without any distortion.

Maintaining the S3 is a breeze, too. Conveniently placed lamp and air filters are designed for easy, affordable changes, even when the projector is ceiling-mounted. A built-in high-speed fan quickly cools the projector, especially in high-altitude locations. The S3 ships with a two-year limited warranty, plus a 90-day lamp warranty for added dependability. During the duration of the two-year limited warranty, the Epson Road Service program provides a replacement projector, typically within 24 hours. The warranty is good in over 45 countries and Epson supplies a toll-free support line.

What's in the Box
PowerLite S3 multimedia Projector, power cable, remote control with batteries, computer cable (mini-D-sub 15pin), user's manual on CD-ROM, quick setup poster, and soft carrying case.

5 out of 5 stars An inexpensive, sturdy, reliable LCD projector   November 30, 2007
Mark D. (suburban USA)
The Epson PowerLite S3 has served us well for several years. It's reliable, spending hours on with no problems. It's sturdy, standing up to car and air travel. And it's reliable - whether it was last used a week ago, or months ago, it just works when you turn it in. A good machine!

I bought my projector almost two years ago and use it for DVDs, cable and to play my Wii. With a $1,000 budget, I bought the projector, a stereo surround system, a can of low gloss white paint and some black trim and built a home theater that will rival one that would cost 25-30K (if you bought a comparable-sized plasma TV). My projector is about 15 feet away from the wall and projects a 108 inch screen. I consider the quality to be about halfway between watching a movie in a theater and watching one on a plasma tv. I don't pretend the image is the same as a plasma, but the Epson's price is only a fraction of its clearer cousin.

I'll add a positive note to Epson's customer service. I had a problem with my projector (while still under 2 year warranty), and after talking me through several unsuccessful troubleshooting efforts over the phone, they over-nighted me a brand new unit without hassle.

This is a great projector. I bought this projector on march of 2006 and it still works great. I don't own a screen, but the wall have worked great. Even if there is still light in the room the movie on the wall still looks good.
I have used it to for powerpoint presentation, for movies using a dvd player or laptop and watching movies straight from the cable box.
The wide and Tele features are great to ajust your picture.

I love this projector.



5 out of 5 stars WOW! Good job Epson Powerlite S3 Projector   April 2, 2007
C. Tellez (Miami, Fl, USA)
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I've had it for over 4 moths now, and I love it. I play video games on the big screen (over 90 inches) in my room, watch movies in the dark with friends, watch regular tv, use it with my computer to go online, write reports and just to see things from a new perspective. I Love it. I haven't had to buy a new bulb yet so i do not use it inscesently, but it does work for long periods with no problem. I have a baby blue colored room and I project directly to my wall, and the whites and WHITE and the blacks and BLACK. as it is, there's no need for me to spend $200+ on a screen. A+ product. any questions ask matttllz5772@aol. this product is hot. and ask about my products as well- books, to paintball markers, to games and systems. I would highly recomend this projector over the more expensive epson projectors. it does a great job with high quality. the only thing is that it does get hot and i would not like to sit next to it (thats why its on the wall ;-)


5 out of 5 stars Great Projector for a Low Price   July 19, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I recently purchased this projector for my room and it is AWESOME!
I have lived with a 20" tv for a while with surround sound and I needed a bigger display for a cheap price. I was able to and 80" display in my room which is a HUGE change from my small TV.
I can connect it to my computer, VCR, TV, Camera, Gaming system and more.

The only things that are a minor inconvience are that if you are sitting next to it, you will fry. This thing exhausts so much heat and your room will be heated up in the summer if you don't have A/C or a fan.

Images from a Computer tend to be pixelated. Other than this, this is a great projector.
