Epson Malaysia finally unveil the new entry projectors for local market. The new SVGA and XGA resolution models are EB-S41 & EB-X05 respectively.
Physically, both models have minor design difference compared to theirs’ predecessor which only received facelift upgrade at the front. EB-S41 remains two tone color; but EB-X05 is now in white casing completely. Apart from the design, the built quality is greater once you have a touch and feel on it especially the front panel. The material grade is quite similar to car’s bumper quality.

Epson projectors are among the projectors with simple button layout and it is easy to operate too. Both projectors built-in with auto source detector. The only thing one should concern is the focus, which user have to adjust the focus with the adjuster lever.

How about the performance?
The latest model have improvement over brightness output and overall better built quality. The EB-S41 have two major upgrade, which is additional 100 lumens and now with 1.35x zoom ratio. For EB-X05, it gain significant brightness improvement, from 2800 lumens to 3300 lumens. What a generous offer from Epson! However, the increase was not only the specification, so do the price tag with increase ratio of 8%~10%.
We also noticed by Epson Malaysia that the new lineup will only have one XGA model for the entry range. Therefore, the EB-X05 is not only replace EB-X04 but also succeed the more advanced model, EB-X31. In this scenario, the price tag is actually a good bargain.
Both models are now available in the market, starting from mid of November 2017.
