Epson has introduced the EpiqVision Ultra LS800 4K PRO-UHD ultra short-throw 3-LCD laser projector, which can be placed inches from the wall. Priced at $3,499 and available now, the new projector is capable of a 150-inch image of “vivid colors and deep blacks” with 4K resolution and HDR. Its 4,000 lumens of brightness are considered optimal for allowing the projector to double as a sports or entertainment projector in bright rooms.
“Streaming live sports games with an epic, larger-than-life picture from the comfort of your home is the next big thing to being physically at a game,” said Fernando Tamashiro, product manager, Epson America, Inc. “The EpiqVision Ultra LS800 Laser Projector brings an astounding viewing experience with complete content immersion, while only needing to be placed inches from the wall. With a display size up to 150-inches, avid sports fans, gamers, and movie enthusiasts will feel like they are part of all the action.”
As well as Epson’s signature 3-chip 3LCD tech, the new beamer deploys an Android TV interface with remote control and built-in Google Assistant for voice control. In-built audio is provided by Yamaha, care of a 2.1 channel virtual surround system. Content can be viewed with a refresh rate of 60 Hz and comes with an HDMI port for gaming, for which 1080p/120 Hz signals are also supported.
Epson says the sleek design is décor-friendly. Streaming functionality supports Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max and YouTube. An Epson SilverFlex ambient light rejecting screen is sold separately in 100- and 120-inch sizes. Both the LS800 and SilverFlex screens are available to order now.
