Description

The Epson EB-W56S is a compact HD-ready WXGA short-throw 3LCD projector, delivering 3,700 lumens of brightness with a 16,000:1 contrast ratio and images up to 300 inches. Its 0.6-0.81:1 throw ratio allows large, clear images to be projected from a short distance, making it ideal for classrooms and meeting rooms with limited space.

Connectivity includes two HDMI inputs, dual VGA inputs and VGA output, a standard Ethernet port and optional wireless LAN via the ELPAP11 adapter, alongside Epson's iProjection app for near-universal device connectivity. Split-screen display lets up to four sources be shown simultaneously.

The EB-W56S is backed by an extended 5-year Epson warranty covering both the projector and lamp, with a long-life lamp rated for 6,500 hours normal and 17,000 hours in Eco mode, providing reliability and low running costs for demanding shared-use environments.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.

Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
