Replacement EB-440W

[DJ-1701]

One of the Epson EB-440W's (Ultra Short Throw Projector) at the Primary has decided to die on us, out of warranty.

I was hoping to find another Epson EB-440W so I could just put it in the same pre-installed mounting framework. Has anyone got an idea where one couple purchase a replacement, or am I better off trying to get a company in to install a different projector and mount?

If you went with the newer EB-470 then the holes match up a little for the wall bracket so it can be a quick job to switch out

Thanks for the suggestion, though I seem to be having issues locating these too. Also it's designed for the 4:3 format where the other one was widescreen. Bah, projectors.

Thought I would ask Epson as I can't find a definate replacement for the EB-440W...

 

Agent Craig: Hi, Ok thank you, one moment please and I will look into this for you

‎Customer DJ: Thanks Craig

Have you looked at the EB450W ?

Yes, thanks, unfortunately as I found with the EB-440W it seems this is end of life. Talking with others it seems more and more like a repair (and hope that doesn't cost the earth and only last 5 minutes) or get a company in to replace with a different projector and boom arm job.

I have a couple of Epson EB-440W's here that I have replaced which you may be able to use for parts. Not sure where you are based so this may not be feasible. I replaced them with Casio XJ-UT310WN's which needed different mounts installing. Took me about an hour to remove the Epson and install the Casio.

The EB-575 I think, has identical spec and the wall mount looks very similar.

Thanks very much for the kind offer, unfortunately I'm around 200 miles south. Knowing my luck I wouldn't be able to get one working anyway.

Thanks, have asked about this one, although one company believes the mount is slightly different but has provided me a quote for it, and a quote for installation.
