Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great picture, super clear. Very quiet and turns on quickly.

It's pretty easy to use but I was hoping to be able to use this projector while in the shade outside. It is not bright enough.

Super nice images, quality, and sound are incredible.

Awesome project that doesn’t need to be mounted on the ceiling

I purchased the LS300 about the beginning of 2021, I just got off the phone with Customer Service. My units HDMI 2 port with ARC just stopped working! The input use to have a green light next to the HDMI icon, when I would use my AVR for my surround sound, now it just stays grey and my screen says no signal. Epson will only send me a used LS300 that has been remanufactured. Also I have no idea what condition it may come in, my unit now is blemish free! or the other option was to box this unit up and send it back to them at my cost, and would have no idea when it would be returned to me? This unit is my main source for media - tv, music, and movies! Plus - I had to give them my credit card information as a pending purchase. Not very happy that I have to pay twice for something that I did not drop or damage! This problem falls on there quality or products they use. After this ordeal, I am done with Epson forever!

The first projector I had to return straight away because it had areas where the image was not in focus. The second unit was able to focus but white areas showed a little green shadow when displaying images with high contrast. I could get used to that because it’s only visible from up close but now after two days the projector won’t turn on anymore. Only after unplugging and re plugging the ac cable and pressing the power button on the projector will it turn on eventually. I think this could be a good projector if everything worked but epson is doing a terrible job at quality control letting all these faulty units go to customers.

Very good picture with great color density all across the screen. At a distance of only 15" from the screen surface it is more light hitting the screen than with a long throw projector. Sound is better than expected and can compete with some sound bars. The Google TV works fine even if it's app store is half backed.

Really a great value buy!!. Even though, not 4K, its hard to differentiate (I did test with a 4k). I found it not too straining for the eyes.

Projector continued to shut off, showed an amazing picture, sound also amazing. Sleep stetting were all correct.

Breaking into the world of laser projectors! I really was excited to get the Epson Epiqvision Ultra LS300. This thing is selling out fast. Epson has been trying to sell these as replacements for your television. Now there are some caveats to this…but they are getting pretty dang close. The unboxing experience was simple. Inside the box is the projector itself, the power cord, the remote control, and batteries for the remote. I was immediately struck by how much larger it was compared to a regular projector. By no means is it gargantuan. With a width and depth of 15.7 inches and 18.4 inches, it’s about the size of large pizza box. It is also heavier than a conventional projector at 16.2 pounds. I got the white colorway. It looks very sleek and minimalistic. I love that there is no boxy extension for the lens coming up from the middle like the more expensive LS500. It’s a simple design that I appreciate. It comes with two HDMI ports and a USB-A port so that you can plug in a streaming stick. One of the HDMI is ARC so you can attach a soundbar or receiver no problem. It also has an optical out. Setup was very straightforward. You plug it in. You turn it on. You pair the remote with the projector. Now the remote actually works through Bluetooth rather than IR. Some people apparently have had trouble pairing the remote with the projector but I did not have any issues. Once you are paired, you set up like you would any Android TV. It may do some firmware and software updates. After all of this, you are good to go! In order to fix the image, you first play with the manual feets to make the image as correct as possible. Then, you can make minute adjustments with the software keystoning. There are also built-in sensors that turn the lights off when it detects someone/something in front of the lamps. Very helpful as you do NOT want lasers in your eyes. You can also manually focus the screen through a dial on the side. Side note: On the first day, I had random episodes of the projector shutting off. However, this went away quickly and I no longer have that issue. I don’t know if it was because it was in the midst of software updates or what. So be aware this may happen to you. The software is standard Android TV. However, when I started using the projector, the first thing I noticed was the lack of apps. All it had was Youtube. No Netflix. No problem, I will just download them from the Google Play Store. I couldn’t! I did look the issue up and found that some apps are not supported on the Epson LS300! Epson recommended a streaming stick or box to circumvent the issue but I was a bit disappointed that although it ran Android TV, it was limited in its app selection. It does have built-in Chromecast but for some reason even this struggled with casting Netflix. I wonder if there was a licensing issue or something. Hopefully, this may be addressed in the future with software updates. Disney+ and HBO Max are available, if that helps. Ultra short throw truly means ultra short throw. I only needed the recommended 15 inches to get that 120 inches of screen. Now something to be really aware of with ultra short throw is just how sensitive the image is to any small screen imperfections. Due to the fact that the image is projected from below and at such short distance, any distortions are amplified. Using a drop down screen that did not have tab tensions resulted in image distortion towards the top of the screen. Even a slight movement such as a draft and me walking by the screen would result in a lot of distortion. As such, when using an ultra short throw, it is recommended that you use tab tensioned screens, fixed permanent screens, or a flat plain wall. Even plain walls with minute imperfections did result in distortion. Epson themselves recommend the permanent fixed screens. The only problem with that is the fixed screens are very expensive. The ones that Epson themselves sell costs upwards of 1000$ with the 120 inch costing around 2000$ I believe. For those trying to get into the ultra short throw game, this is extremely important to be aware. Regular projector screens just don’t cut it. I just projected it onto a wall, which was fine. Now, the most important part: the performance. Great. That’s it. The picture quality is absolutely stunning. I know the max resolution output is 1080p. Images may not be as crisp as a 4K projector, but when you are watching from more than 6 feet away, I don’t think it matters as much. The 1500000:1 contrast ratio really shines. The black levels may be higher than a TV, but for a projector it is pretty darn good. Images are bright and sharp. Even with a fair bit of ambient light, I was getting good image quality. It can’t handle direct sunlight, but neither can my TV very well. The 3600 lumens really do the trick. At night, I even dial back the light output to the minimum 55%, and it’s still bright. One thing to note, if you go above 80% light output, the fans kick in and the noise level goes up. You can adjust color temperature so that you get warmer colors and less blue light. I will say, if you are willing to invest in an ALR screen, then a lot of the problems with brightness and black levels may be mitigated. Audio was great. Epson worked with Yamaha on the speakers and they sound amazing, I really was not expecting much, but I thought the built-in speakers were better than some soundbars. They can get really loud and boomy. You can also pair Bluetooth speakers if you want as well. All in all, a great buy. When Epson says that they want these to replace televisions, they mean it. As laser projectors have expected lamp lives over 20,000 hours, these will easily last you 15-20 years. Even if you watched TV for 3 hours every day for 18 years, these would still be expected to last. Who knows what new technology will exist in 18 years. These are SO much more (relatively) affordable than currently available short throw laser projectors. I do think as the technology becomes more common and more competition appears, the technology will get much cheaper. However, if you can’t wait, then seriously consider the Epson Epiqvision LS300. Pros: Simple and elegant design Laser projectors will last you 15+ years Ultra short throw means you only need 2 feet of space in front of projector Huge screen size Good image quality Great built-in Yamaha audio Extremely bright pictures able to handle ambient light Smart TV in the form of Android TV Built-in Chromecast Cons: Not 4K which may disappoint some people Ultra-short throw technology means you need a tensioned screen, fixed screen, or wall (The smallest of imperfections lead to huge distortions) Some apps like Netflix are not supported

Don’t try buying products online. Best Buy is charging return fee. $200

Decent project but Best Buy refuses to price match its own store which was purchase less than 30-day. Might as well buy the same product at the online store with the smile

Better than a TV . Not big and bulky. 120" picture .what's not to like. Watch movies,sports ,and gaming. I've recommended to other friends.

It doesn't work with the app needed to make the projector function with an iPad. So, we had to return it. It would have been great to know that before purchasing.

The gray screen cost over $2900 + projector $1200 is no good deal 86” tv is better option under $1200

“I could not be happier with my Projector. We’re enjoying it every night.

Love it! Picture is great, also easy to set up! Clear picture

Great product. Needs Netflix app installed on unit. Has Tubi tv which is free and practically the same as Netflix.

Great value for the price. Android tv works perfect, Yamaha system sounds great.

Perfect home theatre, love the style and the black color.
