Epson EB‐685WS 3500 Lumens WXGA Ultra Short-Throw Projector
Outstanding Image Quality
The Epson EB-685WS is a WXGA (1280x800) ultra-short-throw projector with 3LCD technology, delivering 3500 lumens of color and white brightness and a 14,000:1 contrast ratio for vivid, sharp images in well-lit classrooms or meeting rooms. Its 16:10 aspect ratio supports HD-ready content, projecting up to 100" from just 28 cm away with minimal shadows or glare. The 3LCD system ensures three times brighter colors than competitive DLP projectors, ideal for engaging presentations. Users note excellent clarity but limited resolution for high-definition video.
Advanced Connectivity and Collaboration
The EB-685WS features 3x HDMI (one with MHL), 2x VGA, USB Type A/B, RCA composite, and optional Wi-Fi via the ELPAP10 adapter for wireless streaming with Epson iProjection. Split-screen functionality displays two sources simultaneously, and Moderator software supports up to four devices sharing content from Chromebooks, PCs, or smartphones. Ethernet and RS-232 enable remote management with EasyMP or Crestron RoomView. Users value the versatile inputs but note the optional Wi-Fi module adds cost.
Ultra-Short-Throw and Longevity
With a 0.28–0.37:1 throw ratio, the EB-685WS projects large images from close distances, minimizing presenter shadows. Its 250W UHE lamp lasts up to 10,000 hours in ECO mode (2900 lumens), with auto-brightness adjustment for energy savings. Manual keystone correction (±3° vertical/horizontal) ensures precise alignment. The 16W speaker and microphone input enhance audio engagement. Users report reliable performance but caution about lamp replacement costs (~$149) and dust filter maintenance.
