The projector can project 1080p images in either a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio, ranging from 34 to 391 inches (~86 to 993 cm) wide.

Advanced Scene Adaptive Color Correction technology automatically corrects the image to produce true colors, with the 3LCD used to display 100% of the RGB color signal. The gadget has a built-in Android TV, so you can use apps like YouTube, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and Disney+. It also lets you use Google Assistant voice commands to search for content or cast it to the device via Chromecast. You can also connect to the projector via the HDMI and USB-A ports.

The EpiqVision Flex CO-W01 Epson portable projector is similar to the CO-FH02. Both Epson portable projectors feature a 3,000-lumen light source, said to last up to 12,000 hours, and advanced 3LCD technology to display 100% of the RGB color signal.

You can connect devices such as an Amazon Fire TV Stick or Apple TV 4K to the projector via the HDMI and USB ports.
