Epson has announced the expansion of its PowerLite® and BrightLink® laser projector lines. Adding 12 new lamp-free laser displays, powered by Epson’s proprietary 3-chip 3LCD technology, the new models are designed with connected classrooms and hybrid meeting spaces in mind. These new projectors deliver bright images, along with convenient collaboration tools, easy setup and ultra-wide options to ensure all participants can see, interact and be seen.

Sitting a few inches from the wall, the new PowerLite EB-810E Ultra is Epson’s first ultra-short throw solution for classrooms and meeting rooms to leverage Epson’s 4K Enhancement technology. Capable of creating images of 80 inches when placed one inch away and up to 150 inches from 14 inches away from a wall or screen, the new PowerLite EB-810E Ultra brings big-screen clarity to presentations and educational content. The new PowerLite EB-810E Ultra combines ultra-short throw laser capabilities with high resolution to deliver better detail for a range of viewing scenarios.

Epson also announced its new browser-based BrightLink GoBoardTM 780Fi ultra-short throw interactive laser display. As a true PC-free interactive display, the BrightLink GoBoard 780Fi was built for instant online access. Educators can simply power on and go with this embedded browser display solution designed to make it easier to access cloud-stored lesson plans, online content and applications directly from the display without needing to connect a PC.

Epson is also adding the new BrightLink 760Wi and BrightLink 770Fi ultra-short throw interactive laser displays to its lineup, which offer images with almost 85 percent more display area than a 75-inch flat panel. Designed for ease-of-use in collaborative learning environments, educators can access interactive whiteboard tools with flexible installation options or use BrightLink’s built-in pen-based interactivity and optional touch functionality. Wireless connectivity with casting capabilities from PCs, Mac® computers, Chromebooks, and Android™ or iOS® devices, along with convenient split screen functionality make it even easier for teachers and students to wirelessly display up to four screens simultaneously. The new BrightLink interactive displays are also compatible with frequently used software applications, including Office 365® and Google Workspace™, and are equipped with split screen support and whiteboard sharing for collaboration. The BrightLink 770Fi supports ultra-wide 21:9 displays for even more content viewing at one time. Additionally, with the ability to display on a common whiteboard, educators regain access to their whiteboard when the projectors are not in use.

Finally, the new standard throw PowerLite L210W, L260F and L265F, short-throw PowerLite L210SW and L210SF and ultra-short throw PowerLite 760W, 770F and 775F offer 4,000 to 4,600 lumens and are engineered for reliability and can deliver images up to 310-inches. Featuring built- in wireless connectivity along with a variety of aspect ratios and casting capabilities, this new family of PowerLite laser displays enable users to collaborate in-person and remotely with convenient content sharing and split screen support. In addition, with support for 21:9 ultra-wide displays and Wake-on-Sync function, the PowerLite projectors are ideal solutions for today’s collaborative hybrid meeting room systems, including Microsoft Teams Rooms Front Row.

All PowerLite and BrightLink models will be available in March 2023, with the exception of the PowerLite EB-810E Ultra which will be available in June 2023. The BrightLink GoBoard 780Fi will be available in May 2023.
