Epson PowerLite PL-680
Best reliable projector for bright room presentations.
Enjoy virtually shadowless images with the Epson PowerLite 680 3500-Lumen XGA Ultra-Short Throw 3LCD Projector. It features an ultra-short 0.32 to 0.43:1 throw ratio, allowing it to be mounted only 11" from your screen or whiteboard and project an image as large as 92", reducing the risk of shadows. Its 3500 lumens of brightness and 14,000:1 contrast ratio help it overcome ambient light and retain detail in dark areas. The 1024 x 768 native resolution ensures clear text. Connectivity includes USB, RCA composite, and three HDMI inputs, one of which is MHL-compatible for smart device mirroring. A VGA output allows for loop-through to another display, and 3.5mm audio inputs and output support immersive sound. An IR remote is included for convenient control.
