Epson EB-480 — 3000lm XGA Short-Throw Projector

The Epson EB-480 is a reliable short-throw business and education projector delivering 3000 lumens at XGA (1024×768) resolution. With HDMI, VGA, RJ45 LAN, and USB ports, it connects to virtually any source device in classrooms or meeting rooms. The short-throw lens reduces shadow interference and keeps the projector closer to the wall. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Note: no remote control is included with this listing.

Key Benefits

• 3000 Lumens Brightness: High enough output to present in partially lit rooms without full blackout curtains
• Short-Throw Lens: Projects a large image from a shorter distance than standard throw projectors, reducing shadow and cable clutter
• XGA 1024×768: Classic 4:3 format widely compatible with presentation software, document cameras, and legacy source devices
• HDMI Input: Connect modern laptops and Blu-ray players with a single cable carrying both audio and video
• VGA Input: Compatibility with older laptops, desktops, and classroom AV equipment that lack HDMI
• RJ45 LAN Port: Wired network connectivity for IP-based control, network mirroring, and remote management in corporate installations

Performance in Use

In a secondary school classroom with an existing projector mount, the EB-480 is a straightforward replacement that improves brightness and connectivity over older units. Teachers connect via HDMI for modern laptops or VGA for older classroom PCs. The LAN port allows IT administrators to monitor and control the projector remotely across the school network.

In a corporate meeting room, the EB-480 handles daily presentation duties reliably. HDMI connectivity means guests and staff can connect modern laptops quickly, while the legacy VGA port ensures older visitor laptops are never left without a connection option. 3000 lumens maintains visibility even when window blinds aren't fully closed.

Note: this listing does not include a remote control. The projector can be operated using the onboard control buttons on the unit itself.
