Epson EB-1985WU — WUXGA 3LCD Projector, 4800 Lumens

The Epson EB-1985WU is a bright WUXGA business projector delivering 4800 lumens of both white and colour brightness at native 1920×1200 resolution. With HDMI, dual VGA, USB display, and wired network connectivity, it suits meeting rooms and lecture spaces where ambient light makes dimmer projectors unusable. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 4800 lumens colour brightness: Epson 3LCD projectors deliver equal white and colour brightness, so images stay vivid in lit rooms rather than washing out the way single-chip DLP units can.
• Native WUXGA 1920×1200: True WUXGA resolution in 16:10 displays a full widescreen laptop desktop without scaling — spreadsheets and CAD drawings stay sharp and readable.
• 3LCD technology: Three-panel LCD projection avoids the rainbow artefacts some viewers perceive with colour-wheel DLP projectors during video playback.
• Comprehensive connectivity: HDMI, two VGA inputs, USB display, and wired LAN cover modern laptops and legacy meeting-room equipment from one unit.
• Network projection and control: Wired LAN allows remote monitoring, control, and content delivery across a managed AV estate rather than physical cable swaps.
• Built-in speaker: An integrated speaker covers presentation audio in smaller rooms without requiring a separate sound system.

Performance in Use

Brightness is the specification that decides whether a projector is usable, and 4800 lumens places the EB-1985WU firmly in the category that works with the lights on. Most meeting rooms cannot be fully darkened, and a 2500–3000 lumen projector struggles in that environment. This unit does not — which is precisely why it is specified for boardrooms and training rooms rather than home cinema.

The WUXGA panel matters for content type. At 1920×1200 in 16:10, a modern widescreen laptop maps to the projected image without letterboxing or downscaling, so small text in spreadsheets and technical drawings remains legible from the back of the room. Presenting the same content through a 1024×768 XGA projector loses detail immediately.

Epson's equal white and colour brightness rating is a genuine practical difference rather than marketing. Many competing projectors quote a white-brightness figure while producing markedly dimmer colour output, so charts, logos, and photographs appear duller than the headline number suggests. A 3LCD engine produces the stated brightness across colour as well as white.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a remote control included?

Remote control inclusion varies between refurbished units. Please contact us before ordering if a remote is essential for your installation.

What is the remaining lamp life?

Lamp hours vary between units. Replacement lamps for the EB-1985WU are readily available, and lamp condition is checked as part of our testing process.

Can it be ceiling mounted?

Yes. The EB-1985WU supports ceiling mounting, though a ceiling bracket is not included and would need to be sourced separately.

Does it project in 4K?

No. Native resolution is WUXGA 1920 × 1200. A 4K source will connect and display, but the projected image resolution is WUXGA.

Does it have wireless projection?

The EB-1985WU supports wired LAN as standard. Wireless projection requires an optional Epson wireless LAN module, which is not included.

Is it suitable for a home theatre?

It is a business projector optimised for brightness in lit rooms rather than contrast ratio in dark ones. For dedicated home cinema, a projector designed for that purpose is a better fit.
