Key Features

Extra Thin and Lightweight Portable Projectors

3LCD Technology

All Epson projectors are based on 3-chip LCD technology for amazing colour, incredible detail and solid reliability. 3LCD’s 3-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary colour – red, green and blue, continuously. Unlike single-chip technology that delivers colour sequentially, you get full-time colour. The result is vibrant, realistic images and video all delivered with 3LCD’s true-to-life colour.

Up to 3x Brighter Colours with Epson Projectors*

Brilliant image quality requires high colour brightness (colour light output), and Epson® 3LCD projectors have 3 x Brighter Colours than leading competitive projectors*.

One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough. A projector’s specification needs to show both high colour brightness and high white brightness. If colour brightness is lower than white brightness, images may be dark, dull and lose detail. If not provided, be sure to ask for a projector’s colour brightness specification.

* Colour Brightness (Colour Light Output) measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4. Colour Brightness will vary depending on usage conditions. Leading 3LCD projectors compared to leading 1-chip DLP projectors, based on NPD data for June 2013 through May 2014 and PMA Research data for Q1 through Q3 2013.

Brilliant High Definition

The 1785W features WXGA resolution delivering high quality images and crisp, sharp text without any distortion. This applies to video output devices such as PCs and smart devices with their ever increasing image quality and higher definition.

High brightness

With brightness up to 3,200 lumens the screen is easily viewed from anywhere in the room, even without dimming the lights. Even though its light weight and compact size enable it to be carried from room to room, the projector is capable of highly visible images thanks to its high brightness and superior 10,000:1 contrast ratio.

Enhanced connectivity with NFC

With the NFC function, the projector can be turned on automatically and connected wirelessly by simply touching an NFC compatible smartphone to the projector. Conventional cumbersome wireless settings are no longer necessary.

*NFC is only available with android devices.

Enhanced connectivity with iProjection App

Wirelessly connect directly to laptops, tablets, smartphones or to a network for easy control over your presentations. This free application allows you to travel light and present from your mobile device. Just turn on the projector, use Epson iProjection to scan the on-screen QR code, and share content on the big screen.

Ultra-Slim and lightweight design

The 1700 series is so compact it can fit into your briefcase along with your documents making it convenient to carry around with you.

Miracast

With Miracast support for screen mirroring, you can now project your smartphone or tablet screens without a cable connection. Receive easy wireless transmission of video and sound from your devices without the complicated set up. There’s also no need to purchase any external wireless modules separately.

HDMI connectivity and MHL

Get both audio and brilliant HD video content with just one cable that can connect with the latest laptops, Blu-ray Disc®, media players and MHL-enabled devices. The 1700 series enables you to display content from MHL-enabled smartphones and tablets, as well as charge your MHL-enabled device when it’s connected to the projector.

Gesture presenter

With this function, you can present smarter without a laser pointer. Simply move your hand in front of the arrows and make your presentation more engaging and realistic with the audience.

Easy image adjustments with auto vertical correction

Position your projector almost anywhere in the room and still get a correctly proportioned image with auto vertical correction and Easy-Slide horizontal image correction. In cases where the image extends beyond the frame of the screen or whiteboard you just have to push the “Screen Fit” button and the image frame automatically matches up with the edges of the screen. ‘Slide keystone adjuster’ enables you to adjust the image easily and quickly, even in a limited space, making it perfect for narrow spaces, such as on a desk.

Quick, convenient control

The Epson 1700 series is easier to control than ever through its Auto Power On feature. There is no need to turn on the power using the remote control or the power button on the projector itself because startup is activated with cable insertion.

With Sleep Mode (A/V Mute) you can pause your presentation without turning the projector off. The 1700 series also enables you to quickly power down the projector, pack up and go with its Instant Off® feature, allowing you to control your projector with the flip of a switch.

Shorter throw distance

The short throw ratio means you can project onto a large screen even in small spaces eliminating concern about where presentations can be made.

New Home screen

Get up and running in a snap with an intuitive, user-friendly home screen. Select the content source and easily access frequently-used functions such as keystone correction, volume control, Split Screen and more. Wireless connections can be made easily because all the information you need is right there on the screen.

Split Screen

Split Screen allows inputs from two separate sources to be displayed side by side on the same screen. With three layout options you can display video and presentation materials, and run video on both screens.

Front Exhaust

Thanks to front exhaust, the hot exhaust is directed away from your audience and allows for efficient use of desk space

Longer lamp life

The long 7,000H* lamp life saves time and money by reducing the frequency of costly lamp replacements.
