Epson EB‐W42 3600 Lumens WXGA Projector
Bright WXGA HD Ready Projection
The Epson EB-W42 is a WXGA (1280x800) 3LCD projector delivering 3,600 lumens of color and white brightness with a 15,000:1 contrast ratio, projecting crisp HD Ready images up to 320" (1.68–2.02 m for 60"). Its 16:10 aspect ratio is ideal for presentations, video content, and home entertainment. The 3LCD technology ensures vibrant colors without rainbow artifacts, performing well in lit rooms. Users praise its brightness but note the fan noise (37 dB Normal).
Versatile Connectivity and Wireless Features
The EB-W42 includes HDMI (MHL), VGA, composite, USB Type-A/B, and built-in Wi-Fi for wireless projection via the iProjection app, supporting iOS, Android, and Chromebook. Split-screen functionality displays two sources simultaneously, and MHL enables smartphone mirroring and charging. Users appreciate the wireless ease but note occasional Wi-Fi lag in crowded networks. The 2W speaker suits small rooms but may need external audio for larger spaces.
Compact Design and Long-Lasting Lamp
With a 1.30–1.56:1 throw ratio and 1.2x manual zoom, the EB-W42 projects a 100" image from 2.8–3.4 m. Auto vertical (±30°) and manual horizontal (±30°) keystone correction ensure easy setup. The 210W UHE lamp lasts 6,000 hours (Normal) or 10,000 hours (ECO). Weighing 2.5 kg (302 x 237 x 82 mm), it’s highly portable with an included carry bag. Users like the portability but note lamp replacement costs (~$99).
