About The Epson EH-LS800 4K Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector
The Epson EH-LS800 is purpose made for bright rooms or huge image projection. It features a brilliant 4000 ANSI lumen brightness perfect for dealing with a lit room. It can be easily paired with an Ambient Light Rejecting screen to further enhance the image in very bright rooms. With an ultra short throw lens the LS800 can operate right up against a wall or screen so can be easily placed on a TV cabinet avoiding the hassle of cabling and installation. Unlike the competitors that max out at an already huge 120" the Epson EH-LS800 can blow them out of the water producing an image all the way up to 150" (That is 381cm diagonal!). With a solid state laser light source the Epson is designed to last up to 20,000 hours. Perfectly suited to be used heavily as the main entertainment centre.
The Big Screen Experience: Feel immersed in everything you watch or play with this stylish and affordable 4K PRO-UHD projector which can produce up to a 150" image placed close to the wall. For great gaming, try the new gaming mode with an under 20ms input lag time.
Smart Home Entertainment: Android TV offers thousands of movies, shows and games from Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and other favourite apps. Enjoy dynamic audio and 3D surround sound with sound by Yamaha, which can be used with or without a visual display by simply selecting the visual display to mute and can also connect via Bluetooth to use as a standalone speaker.
Long-Lasting Solution: Looking for a long-term, hassle-free and affordable solution to replace your TV? With this model's long-lasting laser light source, you'll be able to enjoy entertainment for up to 10 years.
Superior Picture Quality: With a high brightness of 4,000 lumens and contrast ratio of 2,500,000:1, this 4K PRO-UHD, HDR10 projector delivers lifelike content and defined shadow detail. Epson's 3LCD technology means its projectors have up to three times brighter colours, than comparable 1-chip DLP projectors. With the Epson Setting Assistant app, it's even easier to set up and you can align the image automatically, with just a click of a button.
Our Take
Projector systems can deliver a dramatic viewing experience, but traditional models have installation requirements that don't work in every living room. Ultra short throw (UST) projectors, like this Epson EH LS800, make upgrading your movie nights a lot simpler.
You can place it on a low table almost directly under your screen - saving yourself the hassle of ceiling mounting and eliminating the need for long cable runs between the projector and your other gear. And the LS800 can get closer to the wall than most - it requires less than 180mm of clearance to fill a 120" screen.
The EH LS800 uses a powerful 4,000-lumen laser light source and a trio of high-definition LCD imaging chips to deliver a bright, colourful picture even in rooms with some light. It also features Epson's 4K Enhancement Technology, which shifts each pixel diagonally by half a pixel and combines the two images to provide a sharper picture.
Most projectors include a tiny speaker (or no speaker at all) with the expectation that you'll be connecting your own separate sound system. The EH LS800, on the other hand, has a built-in 2.1-channel speaker system custom-designed by Yamaha for Epson. You can even connect to it via Bluetooth® and use it as a standalone speaker during your movie's intermission.
The LS800 includes the Android TV streaming platform, so you can access your favourite streaming services like YouTube and Netflix without having to hook up a separate source. And you can even search using your voice thanks to the remote's built-in Google Assistant.
