Epson's new Powerlite 410W Projector brings large-scale projection to small spaces

Next Generation Short-Throw, Widescreen Projector Offers Shorter Throw Lens and Increased Brightness Ideal for Interactive Whiteboards

To address K-12 schools’ needs for interactive whiteboard projection solutions, Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide1, today introduced the PowerLite 410W short throw, widescreen projector. An upgrade to the incredibly popular PowerLite 400W – the industry’s first short throw, widescreen 3LCD projector – the PowerLite 410W offers native WXGA resolution (1280x800) for use with widescreen computers and 16:10 interactive whiteboards, and additional enhancements including a shorter throw lens, increased brightness and an optional wall mount for added flexibility.

Featuring a shorter throw lens than the previous model, the PowerLite 410W projects a 60-inch 16:10 image from two feet away, making it ideal for wall mounting. This improved design gives more
space to students and teachers in smaller classrooms, while drastically reducing shadows from presenters.

“The Epson short throw projector line is a big hit with our teachers,” said Scott Foster, director of instructional technology, Northland Pines School District in Wisconsin. “The ability to mount the PowerLite 410W projector’s predecessor without having to run wires and power up to the ceiling made it a hit with our budget as well. The projector combined with a SMART Board™ has been a great way to improve instruction in our district, and we’re looking forward to continued success with the PowerLite 410W.”

The new projector also features 2,000 lumens white light output and 2,000 lumens color light output2 for brilliant and vibrant image quality without excessive glare. In addition, the PowerLite 410W offers an adjustable optional wall mount to suit a wide variety of screen sizes. This wall mount option allows for quick installation with increased flexibility at a low cost.

“The PowerLite 410W represents the continuous technology enhancements that Epson brings to today’s classrooms,” said Sara Kim, associate product manager, Epson Projection, Epson America. “The PowerLite 400W was an unprecedented leap in projection technology, and the PowerLite 410W follows suit with improved features to greater benefit the classroom, making it an easy and affordable solution for displaying large, widescreen content in a small space without jeopardizing picture quality.”
