Epson’s new EB-L200SW laser short-throw projector creates immersive, laser-focused learning and presentation experiences
SYDNEY, 20 April 2021 – In an age of new learning, Epson has launched the new EB-L200SW laser display projector. As educators and presenters are looking for different ways to captivate and inspire audiences, the new EB-L200SW is equipped with a virtually maintenance-free laser light source1 and delivers big, bright images, which are crucial whilst presenting to people who are geographically more spread out in new, socially-distanced environments. A major advantage of the EB-L200SW, when compared to traditional flat panels, is that educators and presenters get valuable whiteboard space back when the projector is turned off.
EB-L200SW
The Epson EB-L200SW laser short throw projector provides ultra-bright image quality up to 3,800 lumens both in high colour brightness and in white brightness2 with 3LCD, 3-chip technology. It is ideal for delivering large and engaging presentation content in the classroom or office without taking up a great deal of space.
The EB-L200SW offers flexible installation in any environment as it is suitable for desktop use with convenient tabletop placement or it can easily be mounted on any wall by using the optional wall mount.
Key features of the EB-L200SW
• The 3 x brighter colours and reliable performance of 3LCD and 3-Chip technology provide both high colour brightness and high white brightness2
• Breakthrough laser technology provides up to 20,000 hours of virtually maintenance free operation with the added benefits of higher image contrast and instant ON/OFF
• WXGA display enables you to project a large image up to 120” from just 1.2m away.
• You can maximise the visibility for everyone by enlarging the display size up to 4 times bigger than a traditional 60” flat panel size.
• The EB-L200SW enables presenters to stand close to the board without glare in their eyes and shadows covering the screen.
• Auto keystone means you can easily set up the projection with this intuitive adjustment feature and there is also in-built edge-blend functionality
• Built-in wireless and Miracast enables you to collaborate with various devices to display documents, files and photos from your iPad®, iPhone®, Chromebook® and Android® mobile devices with the Epson iProjection App
• Versatile connectivity makes the projector easy to integrate with any system using HDMI and the optional Epson Control Box
• The projector comes with a powerful 16W integrated speaker
Bright, engaging content is more important than ever whether our audience is in the classroom, the office or learning from home. Thus, Epson’s new flexible EB-L200SW laser short throw projector has been specifically designed to optimise and help boost audience engagement, collaboration and creativity.
The EB-L200SW comes with Epson’s award-winning service, support and Epson’s comprehensive -36-month warranty which can be extended by 24 months by purchasing the additional 2-year RTB service pack for just $399.

Sony unveils two new native 4K Home Cinema projectors featuring advanced processing and HDR enhancement The VPL-VW890ES and VPL-VW290ES deliver an immersive viewing experience with the powerful “X1™ for projector” processor
Sony unveils two new native 4K Home Cinema projectors featuring advanced processing and HDR enhancement
The VPL-VW890ES and VPL-VW290ES deliver an immersive viewing experience with the powerful “X1™ for projector” processor
SYDNEY, 19 APRIL 2021 – Sony has today announced two new native 4K (4096 x 2160) home cinema projectors, the VPL-VW890ES and VPL-VW290ES, powered by the powerful processor “X1™ for projector”. This powerful picture processor based on technology used for Sony’s BRAVIA TV range is optimised for projectors.
VPL-VW890ES
This processor combines innovative technologies for high-precision frame analysis, enabling unique features like Dynamic HDR Enhancer and Reality Creation. The VPL-VW890ES 2,200lm laser model with premium All-Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens and VPL-VW290ES 1,500lm lamp model offer immersive viewing experiences that deliver the creator’s true intent with real-world detail and texture in best contrast for the consumer, integrator, and custom installation (CI) channels.
VPL-VW290ES
“Whether experiencing movies or plunging into a game, customers are increasingly looking to enjoy immersive entertainment experiences from their own homes. Sony’s native 4K SXRD projectors have been leading the way in providing these experiences for nearly a decade. Today we are pleased to announce two new exciting additions to our market leading line-up of home cinema projectors,” said Anna Tan, Home Cinema Product Manager for Sony Australia & New Zealand. “With the introduction of the VW890ES and VW290ES, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to developing solutions that provide big screen and dynamic viewing experiences in the home.”
VPL-VW890ES & VPL-VW290ES (Shared features)
Dynamic HDR Enhancer: Due to the processing power of the newly installed X1™ for projector, further detailed analysis is performed and HDR enhancement power has increased compared to previous models. This enhanced HDR feature analyses each scene to deliver the best contrast performance when viewing HDR content, making the bright scenes brighter and the dark scenes darker. The dynamic range of contrast and brightness is further expanded by linking with the laser and iris[i].
Sony’s Unique Super Resolution “Reality Creation” Technology: the X1™ for projector picture processor analyses each scene to enrich 4K content and real-world detail and texture. Even content filmed in 2K or Full HD is upscaled close to 4K.
Native 4K SXRD panel: Both models offer 4096 x 2160 4K resolution images with 8.8 million pixels for an incredibly lifelike picture. With rich, inky blacks as well as clear cinematic motion and image smoothness, these projectors can reproduce vibrant colours with more tones and textures than a standard projector system.
VPL-VW890ES (Key Feature)
Edge to Edge Image Quality: The VPL-VW890ES uses an ARC-F lens which delivers pristine image quality across the entire screen. This large-aperture lens adopts an all-glass design for its 18 elements, including six extra low dispersion (ELD) elements. This ensures optimal convergence of the red, green, and blue primaries even at the extreme edges of the screen ensuring a clear and vivid image wherever you look.
The VPL-VW890ES and VPL-VW290ES replace the VPL-VW870ES and VPL-VW270ES respectively. The VW890ES & VW290ES also feature input lag reduction mode which dramatically improves the performance of the display reaction speed to ensure gamers can enjoy the best possible experience alongside the breathtakingly detailed image quality they have come to expect.
Pricing and Availability
VPL-VW890ES AUD SRP$38,999 // NZD SRP$42,999
VPL-VW290ES AUD SRP$8,999 // NZD SRP$9,999
Both models will be available from May 2021
The VPL-VW290ES model will be available in two colour options: black or white

AWARD-WINNING FOXTEL ORIGINAL SERIES MR INBETWEEN Third and final season begins Wednesday, May 26 at 12 Noon express and 8.30pm AEST encore Watch On Demand and on FOX SHOWCASE
Media Release: Friday, April 16, 2021
AWARD-WINNING FOXTEL ORIGINAL SERIES
MR INBETWEEN
Third and final season begins
Wednesday, May 26 at 12 Noon express and 8.30pm AEST encore
Watch On Demand and on FOX SHOWCASE
Seasons one and two available to watch now On Demand
The third and final season of FOXTEL Original series Mr Inbetween will screen from Wednesday, May 26 at 12 Noon express and 8.30pm AEST encore, available On Demand and on FOX SHOWCASE only on FOXTEL.
The nine episode season of Mr Inbetween –the critically acclaimed half-hour series created by, written and starring Scott Ryan and directed by Nash Edgerton –will debut with the first two episodes, with one new episode airing each subsequent week.
Foxtel’s Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh said: “Mr Inbetween is a testament to the world class drama our customers have come to expect of FOXTEL.
Driven by the incredible talents of Australian creator/writer/star Scott Ryan and director Nash Edgerton, this engrossing third and final season is sure to engage audiences once again, as Ray Shoesmith takes care of business once and for all. It joins the proud collection of quality, popular Australian drama series that have become the hallmark of the FOXTEL brand.”
Juggling parental responsibilities, complicated relationships, a viciously smart pre-teen daughter and an ageing parent while earning a living would be difficult for anyone, but it’s particularly tricky when you’re a criminal for hire.
Scott Ryan returns as Ray Shoesmith, the role which earned him an AACTA Award for ‘Best Lead Actor in a TV Drama’ and a TV WEEK Logie Award for ‘Most Outstanding Actor’ in 2019. Ray ‘takes care of people’ –collecting debts, relieving them of drugs and guns, and often taking care of them on a more permanent basis. Ray demands respect and does not tolerate others disregarding his very clear code of ethics. As Ray’s increasingly volatile work collides with his imploding personal life, he finds himself struggling to stay atop the complex web he has woven.
In season three of Mr Inbetween, Ray’s world has contracted. Family life looks a little different as he quietly mourns the loss of his brother Bruce, while figuring out how to care for his ageing father, Bill (Kenny Graham). As Brittany (Chika Yasumura) grows into a young woman, she draws further away from Ray and comes closer to discovering the truth about who he really is. Things seem good with Gary (Justin Rosniak) and Dave (Matt Nable), however since severing ties with former boss and confidant Freddy (Damon Herriman), Ray is working freelance and feeling a sense of isolation. With business booming, a new connection with criminal kingpin Rafael (Jeremy Sims) intensifies Ray’s struggle and when sparks fly with new colleague Zoe (Emily Barclay), an unexpected tragedy makes Ray question both his career trajectory and his ethics.
Fellow underworld figures dub Ray ‘The Magician’ for his uncanny ability to make things disappear. As his family crumbles, emotions rage and violence escalates, the blood on his hands may finally cause the magic wand to slip.
The series was filmed in Sydney and is produced by FX in association with Blue-Tongue Films and Pariah Productions.
FOXTEL Original series Mr Inbetween Season 3 premieres Wednesday, May 26 at 12 Noon express and 8.30pm encore AEST On Demand or on FOX SHOWCASE only on FOXTEL. Season one and two are available to watch now On Demand.
