Detailed Specifications
Specifications are Epson's own, from Epson's UAE product page for the EB-W56S (V11HB62042DA). White light output is measured in accordance with ISO 21118:2020; Epson's page gives no test standard for the colour light output figure.
Need-to-Know
- Epson's specification does not list the video inputs (such as HDMI or VGA ports) or a weight for this model. Ask us before ordering if either matters for your installation.
- Epson's UAE page gives two different Eco-mode lamp life figures for this model, so only the normal-mode figure of 6,500 hours is shown. Ask us if Eco-mode lamp life matters.
- The ceiling mount is an optional accessory and is not part of the projector.
