Epson announced Tuesday that it is now shipping its entry-level PowerLite 800F aimed at classrooms and PowerLite 805F for digital signage. Epson’s new ultra-short-throw laser solutions are helping increase engagement already in education, retail, entertainment and hospitality environments.

These ultra-short-throw projectors offer flexible, 360-degree placement and a full stack of connectivity options including HDBaseT to illuminate spaces with vibrant, true-to-life images up to 130 inches. The PowerLite 800F and 805F feature built-in edge blending and split-screen for easy, scalable projection image when larger images are required and a 3LCD laser light engine for lasting reliability.
