Epson EB‐685W WXGA Ultra Short-Throw Projector

Ultra-Short-Throw Design and Bright WXGA Display

The Epson EB-685W is an ultra-short-throw 3LCD projector with WXGA (1280x800) resolution, delivering 3,500 lumens of color and white brightness and a 14,000:1 contrast ratio. Its 0.28–0.37:1 throw ratio projects a 100" 16:10 image from just 11" (28 cm), minimizing shadows and glare. Ideal for classrooms and small meeting rooms, it ensures vivid, sharp images even in daylight. Users praise its clarity but note the 16:10 aspect ratio may require cropping for 4:3 content.

Advanced Connectivity and Collaboration Features

The EB-685W offers 3x HDMI (1 MHL-enabled), USB, VGA, RCA composite, and LAN for versatile connectivity. Optional wireless (ELPAP10 dongle) supports Epson iProjection for mirroring from Chromebooks, iOS, and Android devices. Split-screen and Moderator software allow simultaneous display from up to four devices. PC-free annotation enables drawing on non-PC sources like document cameras. Users value the connectivity but report occasional wireless lag with heavy network traffic.

Eco-Friendly and Reliable Performance

The 250W UHE lamp lasts 5,000 hours (Normal) or 10,000 hours (ECO Mode, 2,900 lumens). Auto-brightness adjusts output based on ambient light, reducing power use (373W Normal, 0.37W Standby). Features include a 16W speaker, microphone input, and EasyMP software for remote management. Users appreciate the long lamp life (~$79 replacement) but note fan noise (35 dB Normal) in quiet settings. Avoid smoky/oily environments to prevent degradation.
