Epson’s EpiqVision LS800 4K Pro-UHD UST Projector Might Replace Your TV

The Epson EpiqVision LS800 4K Pro-UHD UST Projector might finally convince you to go large in the living room.

EPSON LS800 UST Projector Lifestyle

UST (Ultra Short Throw) Laser projectors are becoming increasingly popular, with over a dozen companies offering models. The Epson EpiqVision LS800 4K Pro-UD UST Projector looks to be a very intriguing and rather expensive new option.

UST projectors incorporate a specially constructed lens assembly that allows images to be displayed from a very short distance, generally less than a foot away from the screen.

A UST projector and screen can provide cost savings when compared to purchasing a flat panel TV sized above 85-inches. Another capability is the elimination of glare that is common on TVs.

However, just as with other types of projectors, USTs are sensitive to room light. Ambient light-reflecting (ALR) screens can mitigate the problem, but as with any projector, they still look best in a darkened room. 

Tip: All 2022 UST projectors offer 4K resolution. There are no 8K models yet

Epson UST (Ultra Short Throw) Laser Projectors

Epson released its first Laser UST Laser Projector, the LS100 (a 1080p model) in 2017. Since then, Epson has included 4K UHD models, such as the LS300 and LS500

For 2022, Epson has announced a new 4K UHD model, the Epiqvision LS800.

The LS800 incorporates a low profile design that makes it less conspicuous with room decor and can accommodate up to a 150-inch screen. A built-in sensor detects room light levels that enable Auto Contrast enhancement which helps when the projector is used in a brighter room.

Built-in Android TV provides access to an abundance of streaming content, and a built-in Yamaha sound system improves audio performance. Also, 1080p/120Hz support is provided for gaming fans.

LS800 – Key Features and Specifications

3LCD Imaging Chips: Although the LS800 is a laser projector, unlike most brands and models that use DLP imaging chips, Epson employs 3LCD imaging chips

Resolution: The LS800 achieves 4K UHD display resolution via Pro UHD Pixel Shifting. This means that the pixels on the 1080p resolution LCD chips (red, green, and blue) are shifted rapidly so that visually a 4K UHD image is displayed. The shifting is undetectable by the human eye.
