- Resolution: 4K (2160p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Color Brightness (IDMS): 4000 lumens (Measurement of the device's color light output measured accordance with standards established by the Information Display Measurements Standard (IDMS). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the color quality of the projected image.)
- White Brightness (ISO): 4000 lumens (Measurement of the device's white light output measured in accordance with standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Nice projector but better options at this price
The Lifestudio Grand Plus (EH-LS970) is Epson’s newest ultra short throw (UST) projector. This is essentially the replacement for the LS800. The major difference between this new projector and the LS800 is that the Grand Plus now uses 4 axis picture shifting to produce a full 8 million pixels for 4K where the LS800 and several other Epson UST’s used a 2 axis system only producing 4 million pixels or half of 4K. Epson uses a 3 chip 3LCD design as opposed to the more common single chip DLP system. The benefit here is that if you are susceptible to rainbow effect (RBE) which can be common with DLP projectors the Epson will not produce this effect. The projector can get very bright. Epson claims a 4000-lumen brightness for both color and white. This allows the projector to be used in rooms with higher ambient light and still produce a bright image. Epson UST’s offer some of the shortest throw distances of any projectors on the market. This allows the projector to sit extremely close to the wall and can produce an image up to 150 inches. As far as features the projector has 3 HDMI ports (2-2.1 ports and eARC), optical port, USB-A and a headphone jack. All of these features are housed on the side of the projector with a cover that snaps over the ports. Behind this panel is also the manual focus adjustment. The projector does not have auto focus. One thing to note is that if you plan on using a Roku stick as I did you will need to get a HDMI male to female adapter as the Roku stick will not allow the cover to close properly due to its length. The projector does come with built in Google TV operating system now with Gemini. I found it to be somewhat slow and laggy at times which is why I opted to use the 4K Dolby Vison Roku stick instead. The projector has audio provided by Bose. This is a 2.1 system mounted in the front of the projector. The sound is surprisingly good and gets loud enough for a larger room. I would still recommend a full audio system or top tier soundbar. The picture quality is very good with vibrant colors and decent black levels. Both SDR and HDR performance were on par with a good mid-tier mini LED TV. Motion handling was also very good. There are a good number of picture adjustments available. The projector is extremely quiet in operation. I noticed no audible fan noice while watching content. I am not a gamer so I did not test this feature but Epson claims excellent gaming functionality. This is where it kind of fell apart for me. Ultra short throw projectors are temperamental when setting up and typically need some form of keystone correction to get perfect. The Grand Plus offers 2 forms of adjustment. There is the Epson screen setting App and manual adjustments in the menu. I attempted using the App multiple times only to have the App disconnect from the projector halfway through the process. I could never get it to work. On the manual adjustment side there are 3 screen configurations available depending on how skewed the screen is. You have to use only one at a time because if you make changes in one of the options and go to another option to make fine adjustments the whole picture gets reset and you must start over. It’s a real pain. A couple of other things that are disappointing at this price point are that the projector does not support Dolby Vision and HDR 10+. It only supports HDR 10 which isn’t terrible considering how bright the projector can get. The projector also does not support 3D. This may not be a issue for most people but for those of us who are still doing 3D it’s a big deal. The other minor issue is the remote. It’s easy to use and get used to but at the price of this projector I would expect it to be backlit. Also, the projector is large and on the heavy side. At around 27 inches wide and weighing in at a little over 27 pounds it is one of the larger UST’s on the market. I have owned one of the top rated ultra short throw projectors on the market for a little over a year and can say that with its support for Dolby Vison and 3D as well as being extremely bright and color accurate and easily out performs the Epson on many different levels that it’s hard to recommend the Epson. This is not to say the projector is bad as it does have a good picture and can be placed very close to the wall but unless you are highly susceptible to the rainbow effect I really can’t think of a reason to recommend the Epson. There are just too many excellent UST’s on the market in this price range.
