I'm considering the Epson PowerLite X12 Business Projector for some upcoming presentations and would love to hear your thoughts on it. The specs say it has a bright 2800 lumens with XGA resolution (1024x768), which sounds great for clarity, but how does that translate in real-world usage? Is the picture quality sharp enough for detailed slides and graphics?

Also, I'm curious about the sound quality. Does it have built-in audio that’s decent, or should I plan on using external speakers for better sound?

The connectivity options seem promising with HDMI and the ability to connect to a document camera directly, but do you find the setup process user-friendly? How flexible is it in terms of positioning and adjustments?

Lastly, are there any downsides I should be aware of? I really want to avoid any surprises after purchasing. Thanks for your insights!
