This 720p HD-Ready projector provides gamers, film enthusiasts and sports fans with high quality images at an attractive price.
High quality projections: Harnessing Epson’s latest technology, this projector delivers equally high White and Colour Light Output of 2,800 lumens and a high contrast ratio of 3,000:1, meaning high quality images are projected, even in daylight. Epson’s 3LCD technology also ensures that images are clear, bright and easy on the eyes.

Whatever the angle of the actual projector, you can easily align the projection to ensure a straight and correct image, great for settling down to watch a film, arranging online video games quickly or making sure you don’t miss the beginning of important sports events.
Flexibility: With its wide range of connectivity options, you can easily watch a whole host of content from games consoles, Blu-ray and DVD players, PCs and TV set-top boxes. Anyone who wants to share holiday photos or create a slideshow can do it straight from their USB memory stick. The USB reader allows you to play photos and images straight away, with no need to connect to additional devices.
Great for gamers: If you’re a keen gamer, you’ll appreciate the specific video game colour mode, which greatly enhances gameplay so you won’t have to fiddle with menu settings during gaming sessions.
Portable: The EH-TW480′s slim, lightweight design means you can easily take the big screen experience wherever you go, whether it’s in a different room or even a friend’s house. Additionally, you’ll be able to enjoy your HD-Ready content much longer with the lamp’s long 5,000 hour lifespan.
