Epson has in recent years steadily increased its lineup of projectors in this class for applications including large exhibition rooms, concert halls and outdoor signage. The high-lumen projector market is forecast to grow by 125% by 2020*4, and the company is continuing to invest heavily in developing technologies and products to meet those expanding needs.

General Manager, Business Division, Epson Australia Craig Heckenberg said, “This is the announcement the projector world has been waiting for from Epson. Epson’s 3LCD laser projectors offer customers the outstanding value and performance you would expect from the global projector market leader alongside the very highest quality and sharpness of image. As a result of the benefits that Epson brings to the laser projector market, opportunities and uses for these amazing pieces of equipment continue to grow.”

The advantages of Epson’s new lineup of 3LCD laser projectors include:
