Epson EF-12 Mini Laser Smart Projector 3LCD Technology, Full HD

The EF-12 is another in Epson’s long line of 3LCD models. That’s three 0.62in LCD panels with a Full HD pixel count on each – one for red, green and blue, which can all be combined to create a 1920 x 1080 full-colour image on screen.

The 1000 lumens laser light source shines through these liquid crystal panels and that brings almost-instant on/off advantages over traditional lamp-based models, as well as an expected lifetime of up to 10 years, even if you watch one film every day. The other huge bonus is the quiet operation, the noise level is quoted as just 27dB, which is significantly lower than conventional machines because the EF-12 has no mercury lamp to keep cool.
