Epson has unveiled its latest EpiqVision Mini series, introducing two new portable laser projectors: the EpiqVision Mini EF22 and EF21. These models promise a versatile, high-quality viewing experience, featuring Full HD HDR projection up to 150 inches, integrated streaming options, and advanced audio features, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

These compact projectors are packed with the latest tech, making it easy to host an epic home screening.”


Key Features of the EpiqVision Mini EF22 and EF21

High-Quality Picture and Brightness
Both models utilize Epson’s proprietary 3-chip 3LCD technology, delivering 1,000 lumens of color and white brightness. This ensures vibrant, sharp images in various lighting conditions, indoors or outdoors. They support Full HD resolution and HDR (High Dynamic Range), enhancing color accuracy and detail.

Compact, Portable Design
The sleek design of the EpiqVision Mini series emphasizes portability. The EF22 includes a 360-degree swivel stand, allowing projection from any angle. Both models are available in colors like Diamond White, Opal Green, and Quartz Rose, with the EF22 offering additional options, such as Stone Blue and Onyx Black, to suit different environments.

Integrated Audio and Streaming
Equipped with built-in Dolby stereo speakers, these projectors deliver impressive sound. Integrated Google TV™ provides access to over 10,000 streaming apps, including Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube TV, eliminating the need for external streaming devices. HDMI ports allow for connecting consoles or other devices.

Ease of Setup with EpiqSense™ Technology
Epson’s EpiqSense™ technology simplifies setup by automatically adjusting focus, alignment, and screen size to fit the projection surface in real time, offering a hassle-free experience.

The automatic keystone correction feature ensures that the image is perfectly aligned, whether the projector is placed on a flat surface or angled. This level of automation makes it easier for users who may not be tech-savvy to achieve optimal image quality without fiddling with complex settings.

Long-lasting Laser Light Source
Both models feature a 20,000-hour maintenance-free laser light source, reducing the need for upkeep and ensuring consistent performance for years.

Availability and Pricing
The EpiqVision Mini EF22 is priced at $999, while the EF21 will retail for $899. Both models, along with an optional custom travel case ($49.99), will be available in early October through Epson’s website and selected retailers. Each projector includes a two-year limited warranty and lifetime technical phone support.
