Epson 685W Overview

Enjoy virtually shadowless images with the Epson PowerLite 685W 3500-Lumen WXGA Ultra-Short Throw 3LCD Projector. It features an ultra-short 0.28 to 0.37:1 throw ratio, which will allow it to be mounted only 11" from your screen or whiteboard and project an image as large as 100", reducing the risk of possible shadows. Its 3500 lumens of brightness, combined with its 14,000:1 contrast ratio, will help it overcome ambient light in many situations and help retain detail in dark areas of the image without compromising overall brightness. The 1280 x 800 native resolution will help ensure that text is clear at most viewing distances.
