Epson EF-12 (Black)
3LCD HDR 1080p HD Ready Smart Android TV Short Throw Projector
Get big, sharp images and Yamaha sound, from a compact projector, with the Epson EF-12.
Flexible projector
Big screen entertainment doesn’t get much more flexible than the Epson EF-12. Compact and lightweight, this projector is easy to carry from room to room or even take with you. It can project to a wall or even a ceiling, with a maximum image size of 150 inches.
Big picture in a small room
Perfect for sports, movie and gaming nights, the Epson EF-12 supersizes your entertainment. Thanks to the short projection throw, you don’t need a big room to get a big image, either. Just 133cm distance from the wall is all that’s needed for a 60 inch image. 222cm gets you a 100 inch picture, while 332cm is enough for a mighty 150 inch screen.
Natural, lifelike picture
Epson’s 3LCD technology gives the EF-12 up to three times brighter colours than other projector technologies. The incredible contrast ratio of 2,500,000:1 demonstrates the realism of images, with inky blacks and vivid colour.
Sound by Yamaha
Unlike many projectors, where sound quality is an afterthought, the Epson EF-12 uses an audio system developed by hi-fi pros, Yamaha. Featuring stereo speakers and a 10 watt amp, the EF-12 produces a punchy sound that easily matches or beats most compact TVs. Just want to listen to music? Thanks to Bluetooth audio, you can simply connect your smartphone or tablet and use the speaker system as a Bluetooth speaker.
Smart, Android TV built-in
With Android TV built-in, you get instant access to a huge range of TV and entertainment. Choose from a huge range of catch-up TV services and a vast range of other apps from The Google Play store and get near unlimited access to movies, shows and games.
Connect up with HDMI
With twin HDMI sockets, it’s easy to connect your set-top TV box and games console or Blu-ray player. Compatible with the HDCP 2.3 standard, the HDMI sockets work with the latest generation devices. There’s also a USB-A interface – ideal for connecting a media device. For upgrading the sound via an AV receiver or soundbar, you can choose between HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) and 3.5mm analogue output.
Enjoy the sight and sound of the cinema, in the smallest spaces, with the Epson EF-12.

Excellent projector, better than expected
I have only had it for a couple of months but I am so impressed by the ease of use and connectivity of the projector. As reported by others I have not been able to install and stream Netflix content, and when I have connected my laptop to the projector via HDMI the Audi does not play via the in-built Yamaha speakers (I then get the audio via the laptop which isn't ideal). I have also noticed that the projector doesn't seem to allow me to browse my USB pens which are formatted in FAT32 and EXFAT, so that may just be a formatting issue. But apart from this, when streaming content via AndroidTV on the projector it is so easy and intuitive to use, and the picture quality is brilliant (and is descent even when the curtains are open, which I imagine comes down to it being a laser projector). Wifi connectivity also means continuous software updates which are also a big plus as far as I'm concerned. Would definitely recommend to someone who is looking for a good projector to use to watch films from.

Great picture and sound from such a small unit !
I bought this projector around a month ago and I’ve since used it near enough every day the picture quality is great and the auto focus feature really helps save a lot of messing around with it. The speaker that is built in with it is perfectly capable of providing audio for both TV and gaming !
Worth spending the extra money from other competitors, it’s small, lightweight but provides a great quality Image as you would expect !

Best customer services
I bought a projector but decided it was the wrong one. I had great support in getting the right one and the exchange was seamless. Craig especially in the Edinburgh branch is a gem.

Bargain laser projector with great onboard sound
Have had this projector for only six days and been using every day to try out various inputs. So far very pleased with the picture quality and especially the sound quality with no need to use a separate sound system at this stage. Picture quality of course depends on source input - with SD being variable (okay at best) however material shot in 4K is rendered very good to excellent/stunning on this native HD projector. Have been using a Saphire 92" screen however I'm able to use an opposite wall to give an 120" image - both with blinds/curtains drawn and both impressive. Okay, blacks/shadows could be a tad better however using good streamed input material or Blu-ray the level of detail in dark areas is better than I expected. Overall very easy to use and move around. Has inbuilt Amazon prime video which I use a lot however to use BBC iplayer you need to add your Amozon Firestick as the app not on this model but works fine. Youtube accessed by a button on the remote and again can find just about anything and voice controlled. Looking forward to trying out in friends/relatives houses and suspect will yield more customers who hadn't considered a home projector!!

Amazing picture and contrast
I bought this a as an upgrade to my LG 150ph and what a decision. Yes it’s a little bigger at 17.5cm all round but. Unbelievable picture quality and brightness compared. The sound is also great for a projector and I like how it automatically sets up keystone & focus
