Ultra short throw projector Epson EB-800F — 1080p, 5000 ANSI lm, 3LCD, laser, 16:9, 9.4 kg

The Epson EB-800F is an ultra short throw projector that delivers native 1080p (1920x1080) resolution and high brightness of 5000 ANSI lumens using 3LCD projection technology. Equipped with a laser light source rated for up to 20,000 hours of operation (extendable to 30,000 hours in economic mode), the unit provides consistent color and image stability with reduced maintenance compared to lamp-based projectors. Its white enclosure and compact footprint make it suitable for fixed installations in classrooms, meeting rooms and medium-to-large event spaces where bright, high-definition images are required from a short throw distance.

Advantages

The projector combines 3LCD imaging with a laser light engine to produce vivid, evenly balanced color and high brightness without the rainbow effect characteristic of some single-chip solutions. Ultra short throw optics allow large images from close placement to walls or screens, minimizing shadow interference and reducing installation depth. Manual focus and auto zoom provide flexible image adjustment, while multiple picture modes including Cinema and Presentation help adapt output to content type. With RS-232C connectivity and a relatively low weight for its class, the unit supports straightforward integration into existing AV setups.

How to use

Place the Epson EB-800F close to the projection surface according to the screen compatibility range, align the unit so the lens faces the screen centrally and power on the projector. Select the appropriate picture mode for your content (for example Presentation for text and slides, Cinema for video). Use the manual focus control to sharpen the image and allow the auto zoom to adjust framing as needed. Connect source devices via your AV system and configure RS-232C control if required for centralized management. Regularly monitor lamp hours and switch to economic mode for extended life when lower brightness is acceptable.

Recommendations

For best results, mount the projector at the recommended short throw distance and maintain a clean projection surface. Choose the picture mode that matches the content type and enable economic mode when continuous operation with reduced brightness is acceptable to extend laser life. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit and follow site-specific security and access control practices for fixed installations.
