Amazing Image Quality
3x Brighter Colors with Epson
Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness. Epson 3LCD projectors have 3x Brighter Colors than leading competitive projectors. Delivering 8300 lumens of color brightness (color light output)and 8300 lumens of white brightness (white light output), the PowerLite Pro Z9800WNL uses 3LCD, 3-chip technology for brilliant images with true-to-life color.
One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough. A projector's specification needs to show both high color brightness and high white brightness. If color brightness is lower than white brightness, images may be dark, dull and lose detail. If not provided, be sure to ask for a projector's color brightness specification.
Actual photographs of projected images from an identical signal source. Price, resolution and white brightness are similar for both projectors
(Epson 3LCD and 1-chip DLP competitor). Both projectors are set to their brightest mode.
3LCD The #1 projection technology in the world
- Both high color brightness and high white brightness
- 3 chips for up to 3x Brighter Colors than 1-chip DLP projectors
- 25% lower power consumption for lower energy costs
- 20 years of road-tested reliability
- A nationwide study reveals that 9 out of 10 people prefer images from 3LCD projectors
Powerful Projection Mapping
Building Mapping
Make static structures come alive with eye-popping 2D and 3D video projection on virtually any exterior - including buildings , bridges and tunnels.

Innovative Projection Solutions
3D/Stackable Mount Stack two projectors and achieve the ultimate in brightness with twice the lumens. This convenient solution also facilitates bright and affordable passive-3D presentations and videos that jump off the screen. | Corner-wall Technology Deliver amazing, outside-the-box experiences with coner-wall projection. Project on hoizontal walls or vertical walls, or use Edge Blending and corner-wall projection simultaneously for an even more incredibile effect. |
Advanced Options
DICOM Simulation Mode
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) is a standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical imaging information. The projector's DICOM Simulation Mode enables users to reproduce images with an advanced grayscale level that simulates DICOM Part 14. This mode is ideal for viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, for training and educational purposes.
Split Screen Feature
Split Screen allows you to display content from two inputs simultaneously, side by side, on a single screen. With three layout options, you can display video and presentation materials. Or, you can run video on both screens.
Layout Option 1: 50-50% Split Screen
| Layout Option 2: Main image on the left
| Layout Option 3: Main image on the right
