Epson EB-455Wi Interactive Ultra Short Throw Projector – 2500 Lumens WXGA
An ultra short throw 3LCD classroom projector from Epson with 2500 lumens, native WXGA resolution and interactive pen support. It projects a 59 to 94-inch image from very close to the wall, and is backed by a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT.
Key Benefits
- Ultra short throw – a 0.37:1 throw ratio produces a large image from just above the screen, with minimal shadows.
- 2500 lumens 3LCD – equal white and colour brightness for clear slides in a lit room.
- Native WXGA – 1280x800 widescreen that suits modern laptops without letterboxing.
- Interactive capable – supports Epson interactive pens for writing and annotating on the image (pens sold separately).
- Classroom connectivity – dual VGA inputs, composite, S-Video, USB and RJ45 LAN.
- Built-in 12W speaker – enough volume for a classroom or meeting room without extra speakers.
Performance in Use
Ultra short throw projection changes how a room works. Mounted just above a whiteboard or screen, the EB-455Wi projects a 59 to 94-inch image from a very short distance, so presenters can stand at the board without walking through the beam or squinting into the lamp.
The 2500-lumen 3LCD engine delivers equal white and colour brightness, keeping charts, photos and videos clear in a classroom with the lights on. Native WXGA resolution matches widescreen laptops, and two VGA inputs make it easy to switch between a teacher PC and a document camera or second laptop.
Add Epson interactive pens and the projected image becomes a touch-free interactive surface for writing notes and annotating lessons. The RJ45 LAN port lets IT staff monitor and control projectors across a school from one place, and the built-in 12W speaker covers audio for most rooms.
