AI-generated summary
The Epson EB-L890U is one of those “serious install” projectors that you buy when you care more about long-term reliability and image consistency than chasing the cheapest spec sheet. You’re looking at a model that’s very suitable for busy boardrooms, training rooms, and higher-end venues where it needs to run day after day, with minimal fiddling. If your use case involves permanent placement, frequent use, and you don’t want the hassle of frequent maintenance, it makes a lot of sense—especially at this price point where the expectation is it’ll just keep performing.
That said, £3,156 ex-VAT is not an impulse buy, and it’s only value-for-money if you actually need what it delivers. If you’re just doing occasional presentations, a smaller venue, or you can make do with a lower brightness projector, this is likely overkill and you’ll pay for capability you won’t use. Also, make sure you’re budgeting properly around installation (screen size, placement, cabling, any mounting needs)—because the projector is only part of the total spend. Buy it if you’re matching it to a demanding environment; think twice if your requirements are more “meetings occasionally” than “mission-critical display.”
