Epson PowerLite 800F – 5,000-Lumen 1080p UST Laser Projector

Product Overview

The Epson PowerLite 800F is a 5,000-lumen Full HD 1080p ultra short throw laser projector built for classrooms, training rooms, and bright commercial spaces. Its 3LCD, 3-chip engine produces equal color and white brightness for legible, true-to-life images up to 130 inches diagonal from just inches off the wall. A 20,000-hour laser light source with no lamps to replace makes this ultra short throw classroom projector a low-maintenance fixture for daily instruction. The PowerLite 800F ships in white to match standard classroom and office ceilings and wall mounts.

Product Description

The PowerLite 800F places a large, bright image on the wall from an ultra short throw distance, so presenters and instructors can stand at the screen without casting shadows or staring into the lens. With 5,000 lumens of both color and white brightness from the 3LCD light engine, content stays readable in rooms with the lights on and shades open. Built-in edge blending and split screen let integrators stretch content across a wider surface or show two sources at once, useful for side-by-side lesson material or dual-source meeting content.

Connectivity includes three HDMI inputs, HDBaseT for single-cable runs from a remote source, USB direct media playback, and optional 5GHz wireless with Miracast for cable-free mirroring. Two built-in speakers cover voice and basic media audio without external amplification, and Epson's network management tools support remote monitoring across multiple rooms. For signage-focused deployments or dark-ceiling installs, the matching Epson PowerLite 805F in black uses the same optics.
