Epson EB-685W Ultra-Short Throw WXGA 3LCD Projector

Image that Illuminates
High Brightness Even in Eco-mode
Reduce energy consumption in ECO mode with minimal impact on image brightness. When ECO mode is turned on, brightness will only be reduced to 2,900 lumens. That means you can still enjoy bright projection even as you save on energy costs.

Auto-brightness Adjustment
Save energy consumption and do your part for the environment with the eco-friendly auto-brightness adjustment. The luminance sensor detects the brightness level of the environment and adjusts the projector’s brightness automatically, giving you power and cost savings. This function can be turned on/off according to your preference.

Panoramic Interactive Experience
PC-less Interactive Functionality
With this original PC-free interactive feature by Epson, you can write and draw on the projector’s in-built digital whiteboard or any image projected from other non-PC sources such as document camera, blue-ray player, video conference system, tablets and smart phones. You can also control any photo slide show loaded from a USB memory key in PC-free mode.

Enhanced Audience Collaboration
Ultra-short Throw Advantage
With ultra-short throw, light from this interactive projector is less distracting as it barely touches the presenter, ensuring a more comfortable experience compared to conventional models. As light is not blocked by the presenter, less shadow is formed on the screen, allowing the audience to clearly see the information projected at all times. The ultra-short throw setup also ensures stable performance of the two interactive pens and provides consistent colour uniformity over the entire screen. These advantages keep the presenter more comfortable and enable clear, smooth presentations.

Versatile Projection
With ultra-short throw, it is now possible to project a large screen within the narrow space of retail windows. You can now create captivating window displays with the help of large projections to increase the visibility of store merchandise.
