The model features a new light recirculation system that improves brightness uniformity (97.3%) and reduces noise. The built-in ambient light works even when the projector is switched off and is controlled via touch elements or the Epson mobile app. Users can adjust colour, brightness, effects and create interactive photo walls.
The EF-51 supports automatic keystone correction, wall detection and frame correction. The picture can be up to 100 inches, and the motorised stand swivels and tilts for easy placement. For gamers, there's a low-latency mode (ALLM) and motion interpolation for smooth 4K gaming.
The audio system consists of two 6-watt speakers with Dolby Audio support. The projector has 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, HDMI, USB and audio ports, as well as voice control via AI assistant. The noise level is only 23 dB, and the device meets Chinese energy efficiency standards.
Epson provides an official 2+1 year warranty with home service, free repair and replacement in case of damage during delivery.
