Epson knows that in today's economy, total cost of ownership is critical to your purchase decision. That is exactly why Epson designs projectors with low maintenance requirements and costs, to ensure low total cost of ownership.
All Epson projectors are based on 3-chip LCD technology for amazing color, incredible detail and solid reliability.
3LCD's 3-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary color - red, green, and blue, continuously. Unlike single-chip technology that delivers color sequentially, you get full-time color. The result is vibrant, realistic images and video all delivered with 3LCD's true-to-life color.
3LCD also delivers critical cost advantages over single-chip technology, including low wattage lamps, lower energy consumption and filters to reduce the amount of dust going through the projector and protect your investment.
For two decades, 3LCD technology has been the market's recognized leader in projection technology, and Epson continues to make strides in improving the technology.
Epson is fully committed to the environment and has aimed to create innovative products that are reliable, recyclable and energy efficient.

Pros and Cons of DLP Projectors
Pros
- DLP projectors achieve higher contrast ratios making the colour black “blacker”
- DLP projectors tend to be quieter
- DLP projectors tend to be smaller and lighter than their LCD counterparts because the system only requires one panel instead of three.
- Because they have sealed optics, DLP projectors are ideal for dusty or smoky environments such as clubs.
- Smoother video
- Smaller Pixels far less visible, (although normally not an issue for business use)
- More “film like” on DVD and HDTV
- Generate "blacker" blacks
Cons
- A few DLP projectors users can suffer from the "rainbow effect" described as brief flashes of rainbow like "shadows" most often seen on high contrast areas of moving bright/white objects on a mostly dark/black background such as the credits at the end of a movie.
- More moving parts (colour filter wheel)
- Colour filter wheel often produces soft but audible whine
- Poorer reds and yellows at full power
- Colour saturation
- Need more lumens than LCD, for rich colours, when dealing with ambient light
Pros and Cons of LCD Projectors
Pros
- LCD gives a sharp image which is preferable in high detail data applications and better results in rooms with ample ambient light
- LCD has more colour saturation which increases the perceived overall brightness.
- LCD projectors are more "light efficient" than DLP projectors meaning with the same wattage lamp, the LCD projector will produce a brighter image.
- Draw less power
- Throw less heat
- No colour filter wheel = No "rainbow effect"
- Slightly quieter Seemingly sharper image on data
- Richer colour dynamics
-
Cons
- LCD projectors do not achieve as high a contrast ratio as DLP projectors and black and dark colours tend not to be as dark.
- LCD panels being organic, they degrade over time. The less the machine is used each day, the less of a problem this is. Projectors that are used for over eight hours a day however will have a shorter life span.
- More visible pixels
- Physically larger - Even for the same number of lumens
A DLP projector needs 30% more lumens in order to be on an equal footing with an LCD model.
