Epson EF-12 — A Compact Laser Projector With Android TV and Yamaha Sound
The EF-12 is a small cube-shaped home projector, about 17.5 cm on each side, finished in black with copper trim. Inside, Epson's 3LCD engine uses three 0.62-inch panels lit by a laser light source that Epson says lasts up to 10 years at five hours a day in Eco mode. It gives a native 1920 × 1080 picture at 1,000 lumens of both colour and white brightness, with HDR10 and HLG support. With a 1:1 throw ratio, a 100-inch picture needs only about 2.2 m. Auto focus and automatic keystone square the picture up for you. Android TV is built in, and 5 W stereo speakers tuned by Yamaha also work as a Bluetooth speaker.
Movie Nights and Streaming
Android TV runs streaming apps without an extra box, and the remote supports Google voice search. Chromecast built-in lets you cast from a phone or laptop. HDR10 and HLG content plays from apps or over HDMI. Epson's Scene Adaptive Color Correction adjusts colour scene by scene, and Cinema and Bright Cinema modes suit a darkened room.
Consoles and Small Rooms
Two HDMI inputs take a console and a streaming stick, and HDMI 2 supports ARC for a soundbar. The 1:1 throw puts a 100-inch picture on the wall from about 2.2 m, so it suits a bedroom or a small living room. Bluetooth lets it play music as a speaker with the picture off.
Three 0.62-Inch Panels Behind a Fixed 1:1 Lens
The three-quarter view shows the lens and sensor window on the front of the black cube, with the input panel on the side. Three 0.62-inch LCD panels and a laser diode give 1,000 lumens and up to 1.07 billion colours. The F2.0, 13.9 mm lens has no optical zoom; the picture is focused and squared up automatically.
Power, Bluetooth and Volume on Top
From above you see the copper-edged top with five touch buttons: power, picture off, Bluetooth and volume down and up. The Bluetooth key switches the EF-12 into speaker mode for its 5 W stereo drivers tuned by Yamaha, whose logo sits in the corner next to the 3LCD mark.
Two HDMI Inputs, One With ARC
The input panel carries HDMI 1, HDMI 2 (ARC) for a soundbar, a USB-A port for USB storage, a microphone, keyboard or webcam, a mini USB service port and a 3.5 mm stereo audio out. Below them sit a Kensington lock slot and the DC power input. Both HDMI inputs support HDCP 2.3.
A Big Picture From a Short Distance
Epson's lifestyle shot shows the EF-12 on the floor projecting onto the wall beside it. With a 1:1 throw ratio, the distance roughly equals the picture width: Epson lists 30 to 100-inch pictures from 26 to 88 inches away. Keystone corrects up to ±34° vertically and ±40° horizontally, so it still works at an angle.
