Epson Launches Projector Deal for Education
Epson has kicked off a new promotion for its education projectors, offering free units to schools that purchase in quantity.
The deal, called Epson Smarter Choices, allows schools to receive one free projector when they purchase seven. This applies to Epson PowerLite projectors only--specifically the 84, 85, 825, and 826W.

Both the 825 and 826W offer network-based control and monitoring via RJ-45, as well as computer-free connectivity for presentations via a USB port.
Other features in common to the four projectors include:
- Built-in 10 watt speaker;
- Closed caption decoder;
- Microphone input;
- Lamp life up to 6,000 hours in economy mode; and
- Eight color presentation modes for use on whiteboards, blackboards, and other surfaces.
