That’s three 0.62in LCD panels with a Full HD pixel count on each – one for red, green and blue, which can all be combined to create a 1920 x 1080 full-colour image on screen. The EF-12 is another in Epson’s long line of 3LCD models. There’s a row of buttons on the top surface of the device for power, Bluetooth and volume but the handy remote control should cover every function you need, from autofocus and auto-keystone to direct access to the system’s app offering. But Epson is confident you’ll like the Yamaha set-up and has included Bluetooth so you can turn the EF-12 into a wireless speaker for music playback. That HDMI ARC means you can use a soundbar if you prefer and there’s also a 3.5mm audio-out socket for headphones. The two drive units face the rear corners to cover the viewing position. There are also two HDMI sockets (ARC and HDCP 2.3 compatible).įor the built-in audio, there’s a Sound by Yamaha 2x 5W sound system. If your wi-fi doesn’t reach that far, you can play local film files through the USB port or from the 10GB of internal storage. We’d like to have seen a battery inside to give this projector some real freedom, but a garden extension cable is your friend here. The boxy build certainly helps here – the lens is nicely shielded and the protective finish on the outside gives the impression it could survive toppling off its perch. While there’s no weather-proof rating on the EF-12, it’s clear that Epson sees it as compatible with back garden viewing.

There are also sturdy-looking ceiling and wall mounts included in the box if you’d like to create a regular position for your main viewing space. The EF-12 can prop itself up to a decent angle using a little retractable kickstand at the front that will be familiar to Epson projector users.

It can also automatically focus and shape the picture without you having to get involved, although we do find that small manual keystone and focus adjustments are worth taking time for. The amount of keystone correction available (± 34° vertically and ± 40° horizontally) means that the EF-12 doesn’t need to be face-on to get a decent image. Fortunately, there’s plenty of scope with projection angle too.
