Like James, my E Series has become indispensable.

I cannot imagine coffee mornings without it. To relive Ascot and Chelsea with Bea, Ginny and Portia is an opportunity not to be missed.

Since the E Series combines full high-definition display with a high brightness, six segment colour wheel (RGBCYW) as standard or an optional "rich" colour wheel (RGBCYM); ideal for showcasing my summer shopping and Portia's latest fashion faux pas.

And with the picture in picture and picture by picture features, I can fully appreciate Jason Statham in his latest all-action blockbuster; while keeping an eye on James, from the web cam feed of the wine cellar.

All supported by those helpful chaps at Christie, with a 3 year warranty and an extensive network of Christie Partners, should James lose the remote again.

The E Series, such fun.

"Money doesn't grow on trees", she says. "Waste not, want not", she says. "The quickest way to double your money is fold it in half and put it back in your pocket", she says. Her ladyship's no fool when it comes to money.

So she was delighted when I introduced her to the E Series.

Good for me too. It’s got a dual lamp system designed for 24/7 use, so I’m not running about the place looking for replacement lamps should it ever fail. And there’s been no sign of that.

I put it down to the dust-sealed, filter-free design. It prevents dirt from affecting the projector. God forbid that her ladyship would tolerate any dust or dirt in her boudoir.

Back-up from the lads at Christie, 3 years warranty and a network of Christie Partners, should her ladyship use it as a rest for her fondue set.

The E Series, less effort, more time.
