rojection wherever and whenever is the promise of the Epson EF-12. That means portability and all-in-one functionality for sound and content too. After all, it’s no good taking a portable projector into the garden if you still need to connect it to your Blu-ray player and sound system.
The Epson EF-12 has a built-in sound set-up that offers a much greater scale than the 2W sound systems often tacked on to budget home cinema projectors. It also has wi-fi and an Android TV smart system with access to music and video streaming services on the Google Play store.
With no battery on board, the EF-12 still needs mains power, so this is a portable projector for home use and not one to take camping. Add an extension cable and there’s no reason why it can’t turn your garden into an outdoor cinema.
