Epson PowerLite 805F – 5,000-Lumen 1080p UST Laser Projector

Product Overview

The Epson PowerLite 805F is a 5,000-lumen Full HD 1080p ultra short throw laser projector built for permanent digital signage and high-impact commercial display. Its 3LCD, 3-chip engine delivers equal color and white brightness for vivid, true-to-life images up to 130 inches diagonal, even on walls just inches away. With a 20,000-hour laser light source and no lamps to replace, this ultra short throw signage projector is engineered for always-on installations in retail, hospitality, and public spaces. The PowerLite 805F ships in black to blend into dark ceilings, soffits, and architectural enclosures.

Product Description

Designed as a digital signage workhorse, the PowerLite 805F projects large, edge-to-edge images from an ultra short throw distance, which removes the shadowing and sightline problems of long-throw installs in tight retail and gallery spaces. The 3LCD light engine produces 5,000 lumens of both color and white brightness, so signage stays saturated and legible under ambient store lighting. Built-in edge blending and split screen let integrators combine multiple units into a single oversized canvas or run two sources side by side on one projector. Epson's content management software and the Creative Projection app support custom creative effects, scheduling, and remote content updates across a fleet of displays.

Connectivity covers three HDMI inputs, HDBaseT for long-distance signal runs over a single cable, and optional 5GHz wireless with Miracast mirroring. A USB direct-playback function lets the unit run media without an external player, and two built-in speakers cover basic audio without separate amplification. For projects that need a white chassis or a classroom focus, the matching Epson PowerLite 800F in white shares the same optical platform.
