Episode One Projector review. Episode One is a small, budget projector that delivers the features you'd expect, but it has weaknesses in brightness and audio. A small projector simply saves space. They're great to have in dorms, apartments, and other smaller or shared living spaces.
Out of the box, you get the projector, remote (batteries not included), power cable, and user manual. The Episode One has 150 ISO lumens, making it not-so-bright compared to other laser-based projectors I've seen. It's a fair trade-off when considering the One's price tag.
Like other smart projectors, the One offers autofocus, auto keystone adjustment for corner correction, and obstacle detection and avoidance. The One also has only one 1 USB-A port, an HDMI port, and an audio jack. The projector can fit in your hands, weighing in at around 3 pounds. You can easily bring it to a friend's place or an event, carrying it in a tote bag.
Additionally, the Episode One utilizes Google TV to give a smart TV experience, allowing you access to all your favorite streaming services without needing to use up your singular HDMI port for a streaming stick/hub. As mentioned, the One has its advantages in being small, light, and easy to set up with built-in smart features from more expensive projectors.
