Epson has decided to make a strong entrance into the ultra-short-throw projector market, challenging the competition. The latest Epson Lifestudio Grand EH-LS670 is designed to provide a cinematic experience in your living room – and all without the need to spend a fortune.
120 inches from a distance of several centimetres
The LS670 can display a 4K image with a diagonal of up to 120 inches, and as it is an UST projector, it can be placed just a few centimetres away from the wall or screen. Epson has based the device on a 4K Pro-UHD engine and 3LCD laser technology, offering up to 3,600 lumens of brightness (both white and colour). This means that even during the day, you can expect a vibrant, saturated image.
Importantly, the projector uses pixel-shifting, so it is not native 4K (4 million pixels instead of 8 million), but Epson promises excellent results thanks to 10-bit colour processing, HDR10 and HLG support, as well as a dynamic contrast of 5,000,000:1.
Epson is also targeting gamers with this offering – the projector supports 240 Hz and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. There are 3 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports available, so connecting consoles and other devices is hassle-free.
Sound from Bose and Google TV on board
There is also no shortage of robust sound. The audio system was created in collaboration with Bose – we have two full-range speakers and a subwoofer with pleasant bass. The sound can be expanded thanks to ARC support or by connecting a wireless karaoke speaker.
Everything runs on Google TV, so we can easily launch Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, or other streaming services. Wireless screen mirroring from a smartphone is also available.
Minor downside – setup via app
However, not everything is perfect. Unlike many competitors, the LS670 does not have automatic adjustment sensors. Instead, one must use a smartphone app, which corrects the image geometry using the camera. Focus is also adjusted manually. This is somewhat less convenient, but it shouldn't pose a problem for most users.
Price and Comparison with Competitors
Epson has priced the Lifestudio Grand EH-LS670 at £2,200. This is more than the recently presented Hisense PT1 Triple Laser Cinema (£1,999), but the Epson model offers significantly higher brightness (3,600 vs 2,500 lumens), which in practice will result in a much better image during the day. For many people, the £200 difference will be fully justified.
