“Image size continues to play a critical role in how people engage with content, whether in classrooms, meeting spaces, or immersive environments," said Remi Del Mar, group product manager, Epson America. "At the same time, users don’t want to learn new systems or manage complex interfaces, they expect technology to simply work,” , With seamless casting, intuitive usability, compact designs, and scalable high-quality images, including 4K Enhancement in smaller, more efficient form factors, this new lineup is built to adapt to virtually any space while reducing environmental impact.”

The new lineup includes both interactive and non-interactive models, all under 20 pounds, designed to deliver outstanding image quality, flexible installation and intuitive operation. “This new lineup enables users to focus on what matters most; whether that’s driving student engagement, enabling hybrid collaboration, or creating impactful visual experiences,” Del Mar added.

Featuring an extensive range of brightness levels under 6,000 lumens as well as throw distances, connectivity options and installation tools at multiple price points, the expanded portfolio underscores Epson’s commitment to making advanced display technology accessible for all, transforming virtually any surface into a vibrant, scalable canvas for collaborative learning, engaging meetings or immersive art and entertainment experiences.

The new BrightLink and PowerLite ultra short throw solutions deliver large images from mere inches away and up to 5,000 lumens (800E-Series) and 4,200 lumens (700E-Series) of color and white brightness3 for clear visibility in well-lit classrooms, meeting rooms and immersive environments.

The BrightLink 870Ei and 780Ei ultra short throw interactive displays with 4K Enhancement Technology offer bold, vibrant images up to 130 inches (three times larger than a 75-inch flat panel) with exceptional clarity and easy viewing throughout the classroom. Built as a one-stop solution, the displays feature enhanced annotation tools, rich classroom-filling audio, a rechargeable interactive pen, and touch functionality.

The PowerLite 870E, 875E and 780E ultra short throw projectors with 4K Enhancement are engineered for exceptional color fidelity, versatile installation and long-term performance.

Plus, scalable image sizes, 360-degree installation, edge blending, and split-screen capabilities enable immersive, large-format display options. Deployment and maintenance are also simple with over-the-air-updates, NFC configuration and Epson Projector Management software.

The PowerLite L370EG and L370E offer 4K Enhancement and the PowerLite L270F and L320FG deliver full HD in standard throw formats.
