The brand new Epson S6 is an affordable entry level data projector for schools on a budget. Same build quality as the X6 but not quite as as sharp. Just plug it in and away you go with auto keystone correction and auto input detection. If you are looking for a basic projector to deliver your interactive lessons then the S6 is ideal at this low price.
This projector hits the nail on the head every time. Same bright image as the cheaper S6 but offers a much sharper image ideally suited for displaying text.
The 83H is designed specifically to get the best out of your interactive teaching. This projector can project in brilliant colour onto any surface, even non-white backgrounds. Instant on/off is a real bonus for schools as it can be switched off and put away quickly. Also has the added benefit of a built in 10W speaker. Its light weight and easily portable. A perfect classroom solution with great value replacement lamps. Ideal for use with interactive whiteboard.
This fantastic super bright projector from Epson weighs in at just 1.6kg and sized at only 193 x 273 x 68mm. The EMP-1710 is a compact unit that makes for an ideal portable projector for your school. We like the big bright image of this projector and the ease in which it can be set up (and packed away) quickly. The A/V on/off slide is useful for pausing proceedings and the tiny speaker is loud enough for most classrooms.
If your school is looking for a new portable data projector then look no further than the Epson 1710 at this reasonable price.
Epson's new ultra short throw wide screen projector - the EMP-400W - makes a big impact for educators delivering a 60 inch wide screen image from as close as 65 cm.
With its ultra short throw wide screen lens, positioning of the projector is no longer a problem as the EMP-400W can be mounted on a boom attached to the wall and the presenter can stand close to the image and interact with the whiteboard without shadows interfering with the audience's view, and without lamp glare in the presenter's eyes.
With Epson's newly developed high precision lens, the EMP-400W is the only short throw, wide-screen (16:10) projector available. It projects in Wide XGA (1280 x 768 pixels), an increasingly common format for laptops and PCs, and it can also be adjusted for interactive whiteboards (and regular screens) to give aspect ratios of 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10.
This model sets the industry standard for low cost ultra portable data projectors. So tiny you can hold in one hand and yet delivers a nice bright clear image. If you only have a budget of $1000 and need a portable data projector for your school then this is the one for you.
