Emerson EVP-2501C 150" LCD DVD Projector Combo home theater projector

Home cinema projector with DVD player

The Emerson EVP-2501C combines a 1280 x 720 native resolution LCD projector with a built-in DVD player that handles DVD, VCD and CD formats. It suits families or casual viewers who want an all-in-one device for films, sports and TV shows without separate source components. The 3,600 lumen lamp or 100 ANSI brightness and 500:1 contrast ratio produce a watchable picture in darkened rooms. A 100 inch portable screen and carrying case are included for quick setup anywhere.

Connectivity limits at 720p native resolution

Two HDMI ports accept streaming sticks such as Fire Stick, Roku or Chromecast for 1080P content that the scaler down-converts to the 1280 x 720 panel. USB 2.0 and a memory-card slot play local files directly, while AV IN and VGA cover legacy analogue sources. Bluetooth audio output lets you pair external speakers, but there is no Bluetooth input for wireless video. The 3.5 mm jack provides private listening when the dual 2 W speakers are insufficient.

Simple placement with manual keystone correction

The throw range matches the 31.9 to 150 inch viewable screen size, so positioning is flexible in living rooms or outdoors. Vertical image correction of ±15° compensates for modest height offsets without digital scaling artefacts. Focus is adjusted manually on the lens; there is no zoom ring, so image size is set by distance alone. The 2.29 lb weight and 7.95 x 6.90 x 3.80 inch footprint make the unit easy to move between the included carry case and a permanent shelf.
