Epson LS800 EpiqVision Ultra 3LCD 4K UST Projector
The $3499.99 Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 4K ultra short throw projector is available in either Black [buy at Amazon] or White [buy at Amazon]. It features a more modern-looking low-profile design than Epson’s previous LS500 model and can also be located much nearer the wall or projection screen surface at just 3.9″ away for a 100″ diagonal image, compared to a 17″ distance which was required for the LS500!
The Epson LS800 is the only UST projector featured on this website that utilizes 3-chip 3LCD technology instead of a single Texas Instruments DMD DLP chip, so there is no possibility of a “rainbow effect”. It runs Google’s Android TV operating system with Google Assistant and Chromecast built-in. It’s also among the brightest 4K ultra short throw projectors currently on the market at 4000 lumens. Lastly, it’s got one of the lowest input lag times available from any UST projector at just 16.7ms making it a top choice for hardcore gaming. It is NOT 3D-capable, however.
Projects up to a 150″ diagonal image. For a 100″ diagonal image, you will need to place the rear of the projector on top of a stand, cabinet, or table 3.8″ from the wall or projection screen surface. The front of the projector will extend 17.3″ from the wall or projection surface. The height difference between the surface where the projector sits to the bottom of the projected image will be 12.1″ (or 5.9″ from the top of the projector). For a 120″ diagonal image, you will need to place the rear of the projector 6.8″ from the wall or projection screen surface, which means that the front of the projector will extend 20.2″ from the wall or projection surface. The height difference between the bottom of the projector and bottom of the projected image will be 13.7″ (or 7.5″ from the top of the projector).
