AI-generated summary
For £3,016 ex-VAT, the Epson EB-L690SU is an “it has to work every day” kind of short‑throw install projector. The main reason to consider it is that it’s built for stable, bright presentations in rooms where ceiling space or distance is limited—exactly the kind of practical headache short‑throw models solve. If you’re outfitting a training room, school suite, boardroom, or a fixed presentation space where you don’t want to fight glare/throw distance and you want consistent output for years, this fits. The 3LCD platform is generally strong for colour reliability in real teaching/business content, so it tends to look more natural than budget alternatives that can drift.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it’s “bright.” At this price, you’re paying for deployment confidence: quiet operation, longevity, and installation-friendly behaviour. If you’re doing ad‑hoc meetings, moving the projector between rooms, or you don’t need short‑throw specifically, you’ll almost certainly get better value by stepping down on model tier (or buying a more flexible standard-throw unit). Also, make sure you’ve got your screen size, placement, and mounting sorted—short‑throw is great, but it rewards good planning, and you don’t want to discover compatibility issues after you’ve signed.
**Who should buy:** UK B2B buyers with a fixed install where short throw and long-term reliability matter (training/education/meeting rooms). **Who shouldn’t:** anyone wanting a portable or occasional projector, or buyers chasing brightness as the only metric without considering installation fit and total value.
