Epson TW5200 projector has a better lens since it has a wider zoom that allows us to make a bigger or smaller screen depending on what we need. It also has horizontal image correction so we can project diagonally from one side of the room. The
Epson TW5200 projector has an optional wifi module that will allow us to connect it directly to an iPad or android tablet without cables. Both projectors are real 3D, and therefore in both cases we can
directly connect a Blu-Ray 3D or a game console and project in 3D .
