BASIC FUNCTIONS

3LCD Technology

All Epson projectors are based on 3-chip LCD technology for amazing colour, incredible detail and solid reliability. 3LCD's 3-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary colour – red, green and blue, continuously. Unlike single-chip technology that delivers colour sequentially, you get full-time colour. The result is vibrant, realistic images and video all delivered with 3LCD’s true-to-life colour.

Up to 3x Brighter with Epson Projectors*

Epson projectors use 3LCD Engines that have no colour wheel with a white segment and therefore don't force a tradeoff between white and colour brightness.

In fact, Epson projectors have up to 3x Brighter Colours than their leading competitive 1-chip DLP projectors*. If you are looking for business and education projectors or 720p home entertainment projectors, know that choosing Epson projectors means up to 3x brighter colours. If you are looking for 1080p home entertainment projectors, you consistently get 2x and up to 3x Brighter Colours than competitor 1-chip DLP projectors*.

All Epson projectors list both White Brightness and Colour Brightness specifications, and all have high Colour Brightness.

Brighter Images

With brightness up to 3,500 lumens, the screen is easily viewed from anywhere in the classroom, even without dimming the lights.

Brighter Images

Readability from Anywhere in the room

Ensure every student in the classroom can easily read and understand the information you're sharing. Offering clear, easy-to-see images up to 100", Epson displays help students learn and retain information, regardless of where they sit.

Readability from Anywhere in the room

Wide viewing angle

Clear images can be seen from any angle with no limitations of reflective glare. Projected images also allow you to get closer to the image without straining your eyes.

Wide viewing angle

High Resolution

Featuring native resolution of WXGA (1280 x 800), the Epson EB-685W delivers high quality images and crisp, sharp text without any distortion.

High Resolution

WIRELESS CLASSROOMS

Epson iProjection™ via optional wireless dongle

Epson iProjection is the wireless display solution for today's BYOD classrooms. With true multi-platform support, students can wirelessly display content from Chromebooks, PCs and Mac® computers, as well as iOS and Android devices.

When used in conjunction with Epson Multi-PC projection plus Moderator device management software4, up to 50 users can connect to the projector simultaneously, displaying content from as many as four at a time. It's the perfect tool for displaying a variety of content — or for comparing students' work side by side.

Networking features that take teaching to the next level

  • Manage up to 1,024 Epson networked displays using the included EasyMP® Monitor software or Crestron RoomView® — saves time and money
  • Update display firmware in-house via the network, a USB cable, or a USB flash drive — eliminates the need for external service centre repairs; saves time and money
  • Send updates or announcements remotely to up to 1,024 Epson networked displays using the Message Broadcasting plug-in for EasyMP Monitor
  • Connect your display to an access point to share it with the entire class, without running more cables
