Epson has just shown that a home projector doesn't have to look like a gray, office block. The Lifestudio Flex Special Lux Edition EF-73 model is a step up in sophistication compared to the popular and currently available EF-72 model. This time, the engineers (and probably interior designers) have gone a step further, creating a device that is meant to be the command center of your bedroom.
Great design + 4K laser
This is not another product made of cheap plastic. Epson has opted for materials that we more often encounter in luxury cars than in consumer electronics. In the casing of the EF-73, we find tempered glass, suede finishes, and anodized gold accents. According to official press information from Epson, the device in "Night Black" is supposed to be aesthetic enough that it doesn’t need to be hidden away in a cabinet after a viewing. Instead, it is meant to proudly stand by the bed, serving as... a designer night light, thanks to the built-in ambient lighting.
Qi, Bose, and Google TV – bedroom all-in-one
What really makes the EF-73 rank higher than the base EF-72? Besides the appearance, the key feature is its "2 in 1" functionality. The top panel of the projector is a built-in Qi wireless charger, so by placing your phone on the projector before bedtime, you wake up with a full battery. In terms of image quality, we get 4K with a 3LCD laser engine (up to 150 inches), and the auditory experience is handled by a 10-watt speaker system . The whole thing is powered by Google TV, so everything from Netflix to YouTube is at your fingertips.
ChooseTV Projection Studio App
It is also worth mentioning the new Projection Studio app, which will debut alongside the projector. It will allow for collaborative, interactive creation of photo shows with a musical background directly from the phone. The equipment is set to hit the shelves in April 2026. The price remains a mystery, but since the standard EF-72 costs around $1,300 (which converts to about 5000zł), the "Lux" version will certainly require a thicker wallet.
