Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The Epson EB-685Wi is an ultra short throw interactive projector with 3,500 ANSI lumens brightness and WXGA (1280×800) resolution. Its ultra-short-throw design lets you project large images from a very short distance with reduced shadows and glare, while 3LCD technology provides balanced white and colour light output for vivid, clear images. The projector supports split-screen display, optional wireless connectivity via the iProjection app and dual-pen interactivity for simultaneous annotation.

Advantages

High brightness and 3LCD image processing deliver bright, natural colours and clear images even in well-lit rooms. The dual-pen functionality enables two users to annotate at the same time with different pen attributes. Ultra-short-throw optics minimise shadows and glare when presenting from close range. Long lamp life in eco mode increases reliability and reduces maintenance intervals.

Suitable for

  • Classroom lessons and interactive teaching
  • Corporate meeting rooms and presentations
  • Collaborative workshops and training sessions
  • Spaces where a large image is needed from a short throw distance

Key specifications

  • Brightness: 3,500 ANSI lumens
  • Native resolution: WXGA (1280×800)
  • Projection technology: 3LCD
  • Contrast ratio: 14,000:1
  • Lamp life: up to 10,000 hours (eco mode)
  • Weight: 5.9 kg
  • Fixed focal length: 3.7 mm (ultra short throw)
  • Screen size compatibility: approx. 1524–2540 mm
  • Colour: White / Grey

How to use

Place the EB-685Wi close to the projection surface according to the ultra-short-throw placement guidelines so it produces a large image with minimal shadows. Connect your source device via HDMI or enable optional wireless projection using the iProjection app on compatible smart devices and Chromebooks. Use the interactive pens to annotate directly on the projected image; two pens can be used simultaneously for collaborative work. Adjust focus manually as needed for a sharp image.

Recommendations

For best results in classrooms and meeting rooms, use the projector in eco mode to extend lamp life, position it on or near the short-throw mount to minimise presenter shadows, and enable split-screen when you need to show two content sources simultaneously.
