Epson’s new laser-lit EH-LS800W is very much focused on home entertainment, an area in which Epson has previously delivered on, to What Hi-Fi? Award-winning success.
The LS800W is pitched as a premium UST projector, and features such as a huge 4000 lumens of claimed brightness, a laser lighting engine and surprisingly flexible image size support all contribute to its relatively high-end status. Given that the LS800W’s chief appeal is as an alternative to a gigantic TV, its price looks like good value compared with those typically attached to 98in and bigger TVs.
The crisp white finish of the projector’s top edge contrasts neatly with a light grey fabric wrapped around its front edge, while tastefully ribbed sidesmeanwhile, hopefully points to an unusually powerful integrated sound system, an unusually evolved heat dispersion/noise control system, or a premium internal optical system – or maybe even a combination of all three.
