Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not a paid review*. Must say if you are looking for a 4k projector under the 1k$ mark this is it. Very stylish and aesthetic. Compact size and portability also makes this versatile can move from room to room if needed. Picture quality is amazing 4k content in a light controlled room is amazing definitely where this projector shines. Picture quality is decent with full daytime light but be honest most folks are using this at night or afternoon or with blackout shades have no problem. The Bose speakers are decent and much better then most out there but if you want to have that movie cinema experience you can easily pair your home theatre via Bluetooth or hdmi to complete the setup and have that wow factor. Running my setup at 140inch and image is sharp and crisp maxes out at 150 Games look and feel amazing via ps5 & switch hdr support input lag is very good also .Def recommend you watch my review on YouTube. Overall definitely recommend if upgrading from a 1080p to 4k or if you just want a budget friendly but capable 4k project that’s portable and not huge and bulky

I have been using a 1080p projector and the upgrade to a 4K projector is truly magnificent. The Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus 4K projector is an excellent choice for a Home theater setup due to its robust performance along with its aesthetic brilliance. The projector has one of the most impressive design. The structural facet of the projector has been built to perfection offering a rectangular prism-esque structure that makes the projector very convenient to place anywhere within a household. Weighing in at just 8.8 pounds, the projector is a very portable device, perfect for relocation. Additionally, the aesthetic element of the projector has been orchestrated brilliantly. It offers a ravishing plank like texture complemented by a linen body and produces illuminating effects making it very winsome in terms of sight and feel. A tap on the plank controls the brightness of the light. This projector can project at any angle, even tilt to a 90 degree and project to the ceiling. One of the key highlight of this projector is the focus adjustment feature, which is very commendable providing quick and sharp corrections to any sorts of distortion caused due to the movement of the projector. Another outstanding feature is the color correction when projected to a non-white wall, thus eliminating the need for a screen. When using a screen, this can detect the screen and project it within its boundary. One rather negligible con is that the projector is very prone to tiny obstacles in its way of projection, often causing it to display an “obstacles detected” screen. The projector itself runs on a 3LCD display technology that provides a 4K (2160p) resolution that is crisp, detailed and lifelike. It functions with a brightness ceiling of 1000 lumens making videos/media bright and scintillating in a dark environment. However, in bright light, this may not produce the best picture, but still is viewable. The projector offers a light source life of about 20,000 hours making it a very long-lasting device. The projector does use a standard throw projection at a 1.2 ratio, thus requiring around 13 feet distance from a surface to project the maximum viewing size of 150 inches. In terms of viewing size, the Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus offers a large range of screen sizes extending from 30 inches to 150 inches. Even at the max size of 150 inch, the picture clarity is commendable. This large screen size range and the crisp 4K resolution makes it an apt choice for anyone desiring a high quality home theater or a top-grade gaming projection. The projector supports Google TV Platform. One can link their Google account to the projector to access all sorts of apps available for Google TV. The projector features Sound by Bose Technology which provides premium audio output. Though it produces a clear and rich sound, it is recommended to use a good sound bar for a complete home theater experience. The noise level of this projector is on the lower side (23 to 28 decibels). As far as the ports are concerned, it offers one HDMI port, one USB port and a 3.5 mm jack. It does play media files or open work documents from the external USB. (Just want to let you know that it requires a file manager app to be installed to browse the USB, as it took me a while to realize that). In summation, the Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus is, beyond any doubt, a high quality product, providing technical excellence implanted in aesthetic wonder.

LOVE this. It’s WAY better than we expected and you can digitally change the size of the screen. The reviews stated otherwise and so did the guy Best Buy. It covers our whole entire wall. It’s huge.

Best product I got so far worth the buy for any one that wants to switch from tv

The project work well i do enjoy using it compared to my tv ,i get to be in a movie theater but at home.

I already have a small portable projector, but the Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus seemed like a worthy upgrade, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Below are my overall impressions, followed by some key pros and cons. Overall Thoughts The Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus is a stylish, modern portable projector that combines convenience with quality. It delivers a crisp 4K image on almost any wall, solid Bose audio, and built-in smart features through Google TV. Its compact design looks great in nearly any home. If you're looking for professional-grade performance without the professional price tag, this projector is a great option. It's versatile, easy to use, and budget-friendly. That said, if you need room-filling volume when watching movies, you may want to pair it with a good Bluetooth speaker or another audio solution. Pros 4K PRO-UHD Resolution: Epson’s pixel-shifting technology delivers a sharp, clear image up to 150 inches. It also handles lower-resolution content surprisingly well. Brightness: With 1,000 lumens of color and white brightness, the Flex Plus makes colors pop even in rooms that aren’t completely dark. It’s not the brightest projector out there, but it’s more than enough for most users. Sound by Bose: The built-in Bose system delivers good audio that fills a small to medium-sized room. It’s not going to shake the walls with explosions, but it’s impressive for such a compact unit. Google TV: If you’ve used Google TV before, you’ll feel right at home. Setup is quick with a QR code and the interface is intuitive, though occasionally a bit sluggish. EpiqSense 2.0 Auto-Setup: This feature is a game-changer. The projector automatically adjusts focus, color, and alignment, so you won’t need to fiddle with settings. It’s fast, accurate, and makes setup nearly effortless. Ambient Lighting Feature: While not full RGB, the customizable lighting under the projector adds a nice touch. You can turn it off completely, but leaving it on creates a pleasant atmosphere. The lighting is controlled by touch-sensitive buttons on the top, which has a cool wood-grain finish. Compact and Stylish Design: Weighing 8.8 lbs, the projector includes a stand with a wide tilt and rotation range. It’s not featherlight, but it feels solid and well-built. Connectivity: Includes HDMI and USB-C power input, which is great if you want to run it off a portable battery at a campsite. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support make it easy to connect to your network or pair with external speakers. Cons Not UST: This isn’t a true ultra short throw projector, so you’ll need some distance between the unit and your projection surface. It’s a traditional setup, and while that helps keep the cost down, it’s worth noting. Limited Brightness for Daylight Use: While 1,000 lumens is fine for indoor use, it may struggle in very bright rooms or spaces without a way to control lighting. Fixed Lens: There’s no zoom or lens shift, so placement matters. That said, Epson’s auto-adjustment tech helps a lot and I didn’t run into any major issues. Remote Control: The remote feels basic and a bit cheap. It works fine, but a more premium remote would better match the overall quality of the projector. Bose Sound: I wasn’t sure what to expect from a compact device like this, but with the Bose branding, I anticipated louder and more robust audio. The maximum volume left me slightly disappointed, though the overall sound quality was good, if not great.

Every once in a while, a product comes along that blows me away. It happened with the first flat screen tv’s. Then again with ultra short throw projectors. and now Epson has created a portable projector that completely changes movie night for your family. The Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus Portable projector is something I never dreamed could exist as an 80’s kid but am elated it does cause now my children can experience pure magic at home! Let’s get into what makes this projector so special! Initial unboxing I was pleasantly surprised by the look, weight and overall presentation of the projector. It’s not very heavy at all coming in at just over 8 pounds it has a beautiful sturdy wood base with a high end look to it. The projector can turn and swivel and there’s also an optional floor stand that can be purchased. The projector also has ambient light underneath that can be adjusted by touching the top of the unit. It adds a nice ambience to the room. Initial setup for the projector was surprisingly simple using the new Google TV interface. Log into your google account and it gets everything up and going. The new menu system is much improved from previous Epson projectors I’ve used. The UI is snappy and functional and works well. The first time we used the projector I surprised my son with a movie night in his bedroom. We propped the projector up on his box truck that holds all his teddys bears, laid down some blankets and pillows and settled in for movie night. As long as it took to make popcorn and drinks, we were all setup and ready to go with Netflix loaded! What really impressed me on the first use was the projectors’ ability to focus automatically on the fly. Once setup in place it focused on the wall instantly and had a nice square picture. Compared to my ultra short throw projector its light years easier to setup. The out of the box colors were super impressive with no real adjustment needed. We laid on the ground under the projector and watched Despicable Me 2 and it was an absolute core memory for me and I think for my son too. He was loving every moment of sitting on the ground snuggling with his Dad watching a huge movie in HIS room. And what was so great about the experience was how easy it was to setup and break down. Within 30 seconds I can now have campout movies with my son in his room. If for some reason you get up it dims the picture briefly for a moment to not blind you. What was probably the most impressive moment to me so far was while the movie was playing, I moved the projector to his dresser on the left side of his room. The projector didn’t skip a beat, it didn’t pause, it automatically adjusted the screen and kept going as if it was in the same location as before, mind blown! The one thing it does do that’s worth noting is if the picture is at an angle there’s a bit of light bleed from the projector that projects on the wall, but it’s not noticeable enough to detract from the experience. The sound on the projector is equipped with Bose speakers that are more than sufficient. Having the projector behind us with the sound turned up it almost felt like a bit of surround sound. Overall the first movie experience with him was nothing short of magical and I look forward to so many more movie nights like this in the future! The amount of possibilities with this projector are endless. I’ve already convinced my wife to get us a screen for our backyard. It can easily substitute in any home theater setup. I used it in place of my UST by setting it on our movie room table and it looked fantastic! Can handle Xbox and PS5 as well with HDR10 and 4k with the added HDMI port. Also Bluetooth compatible so you can use wireless headphones and it can double as a speaker when not being used as a projector! Movie night outside in the backyard with tents, check! On a garage door outside with friends, check! Basically a portable tv anywhere you go! This thing is absolutely amazing! I couldn’t recommend this projector more. If you need something easy and portable that can go up to 150 inches in seconds and deliver a wonderful viewing experience this is the projector for you! Family movie nights outside, projecting at tailgating, I could go on and on. This is the most versatile and impressive product I’ve owned in a long time. 10/10!

I’ve been using Epson projectors for years in my home theater, so when I saw this new portable Lifestudio Flex Plus model—especially with the built-in Bose sound—I had to give it a try. My plan is to use it mostly for outdoor movie nights, but I tested it inside first in my home theater. Setup was super simple. I just set it on my ottoman and aimed it at the same fixed screen I use for my main Epson projector. The new Google TV interface is a massive step up from the old-school Epson menus I’m used to. It felt like switching from a Windows 3.0 PC to a modern Windows 11. Signing into Google was quick and easy, especially if you’ve got an Android device - just set it next to the projector, but Apple users shouldn’t have any trouble either—you can sign in just fine from an iPhone. The image this little projector throws is shockingly good. It’s not quite as bright as my main ceiling-mounted unit, but the auto-focus on this one gives it a sharpness edge, no question. I honestly thought about replacing my home theater projector with it, but this model isn’t designed to be ceiling-mounted. Still, the digital focus feature alone has me rethinking what I’ll look for in my next main projector. The auto-keystone and image alignment tools are impressive—just point it toward your screen and it does most of the work. You can also fine-tune it with four-corner keystone adjustments that are dead simple to use. The built-in Bose speakers are loud and clear. Watching football, some movies and even just streaming some YouTube music sounded great. That said, I personally prefer sound to come from right where the image is, so for indoors I’d probably pair it to a soundbar using Bluetooth. Outdoors, though, the built-in speakers are going to be perfect—especially when you’re sitting behind or near the projector. Bluetooth connectivity worked flawlessly. I paired it with a set of Bose headphones and the audio was perfectly synced—no lag at all. You can even use the projector as a Google Home speaker when you’re not watching anything, which is a nice bonus because I’ll probably just have this thing sitting out when not in use - It looks great. The oak finish and ambient lighting make it feel more like something Hue would produce and sell you as a stand alone lamp for hundreds of dollars. You could easily leave it out on a table without it looking out of place. Really clever. Now that’s not to say everything is perfect. Epson calls this a “portable” projector, and sure, you can carry it easily and set it up just about anywhere—but don’t confuse that with it being truly cordless. Yes, it technically supports USB-C power input, but in reality, it needs a very specific and very beefy battery to run off USB-C: minimum 24,000 mAh with at least 100W output. I’ve got two large USB-C laptop battery packs and neither one could even get this projector into standby mode. The manual even says you’ll get maybe an hour of use from a battery that size, so unless you’ve got one of those big brick-style power stations, just plan to run an extension cord. Not a dealbreaker, but it’s worth knowing before you take it off the grid. One other quirk. If you’re using it in a more permanent theater setup, keep in mind that while the projector can auto-correct a very off-center image, the physical light beam still spreads beyond your screen. That doesn’t affect the image itself, but there’s a bit of light spill that might bug picky folks (like me). For casual or outdoor use, though, it’s a non-issue. All said, Epson really knocked it out of the park with this one. The image is sharp, the sound is rich, and setup is practically foolproof. Whether you’re throwing it on a table in the backyard for a movie night or setting it up in your living room, it just works. If portability, style, and simplicity matter to you—but you still want a high-quality image—this projector delivers in a big way.

This is a great projector that I upgraded to from a different brand and older model. It autocorrects the image based on the surface you are projecting on. No need to manual zoom or manual focus. It can connect to your netflix or other streaming services via wi-fi. It can connect to bluetooth speakers for audio reinforcement. It does have speakers but I have a big PA monitor i prefer to use. Great colors and very nice image.

This projector’s performance is remarkably good. The picture is bright and clear and the audio coming from built-in BOSE speakers add to an enjoyable experience of watching movies or series indoors or outdoors. The only thing that I find a bit annoying is how sensitive the projector is to interference which causes the screen to momentarily go black with a message indicating an obstruction in the projector’s path. The best way to get around this is probably placing the projector at a higher elevation and projecting at a downward angle instead of being level with the surface receiving the image. Aside from the obstacle indicator I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a portable home theater experience.

The Epson LifeStudio Flex Plus 4K Pro UHD portable projector is a slick-looking piece of gear—it's basically designed to blend in like a fancy lamp rather than scream "projector" when it's sitting on your table. It throws up a sharp 4K PRO-UHD image (pixel-shifted from 1080p panels via Epson's 3LCD tech) with solid 1,000 lumens brightness, HDR support, and vibrant colors that hold up well in controlled lighting. For the price around $999–$1,000, it's punching above its weight in the lifestyle/portable category. Picture quality is easily the standout here. The image is crisp and detailed, colors pop nicely with good correction options, and the Quick Corner feature is a lifesaver for dialing in the perfect alignment—keystone, tilt, you name it—without a ton of hassle. Whether you're hitting up movies, streaming, or just casual viewing, it delivers a surprisingly cinematic feel with rich shadows and no rainbow artifacts (thanks to the 3LCD design). Brightness holds its own for the size, and HDR adds that extra punch when the content supports it. On the flip side, a few things bug me personally as someone who runs external audio setups. The built-in Bose-tuned speakers (dual 5W with Dolby Audio) are decent—punchy and clear for a projector this compact—and it can even double as a Bluetooth speaker when the lens is off. But honestly, I'd prefer a version without them entirely. They add bulk and cost for something I bypass anyway with my own sound system via HDMI eARC or Bluetooth output. Ditching the speakers could maybe slim it down or drop the price a bit. Then there's the ambient mood lighting strip underneath. It's a cool party trick—casts a soft, colorful glow around the base for vibe enhancement—but the tap-to-change-color control on top is annoying. A simple tap cycles through patterns or brightness, long press turns it off, but in practice, accidental taps happen too easily, and that extra light can wash out the projection slightly in darker rooms. I'd rather see a dedicated button (or just omit the whole feature) to avoid the gimmick factor. Mounting and stand options could use some love too. The included adjustable stand is nice for basic table use and swiveling angles, but if you want taller placement (like for better throw or ceiling projection), Epson's optional floor stand runs about $200—that's steep for what feels like a proprietary add-on. A more universal tall stand compatibility would be way better. And while it has tilt adjustments and works in various orientations, there's no built-in upside-down mounting mechanism (like standard ceiling mount threads or flip mode indicators on the bottom). It'd be great if they added some sort of secure attachment point or clear inversion support for ceiling hangs. Overall, if you're after a stylish, easy-setup projector with killer image quality for casual home entertainment, this thing nails it—especially the brightness, color tuning, and Quick Corner magic. But for serious users like me who prioritize external audio, hate accidental light interference, and want flexible mounting without proprietary BS, it falls short in a few practical spots. Still a solid 4-out-of-5 from me, mostly carried by that impressive picture performance. If Epson ever drops a "pro" variant stripping the speakers and mood lights while adding better mount options, sign me up.

Works great and has great sound! This projector also has a nice sleek look that makes it look like it fits in the room.

The projector runs on a 3LCD display technology that provides a 4K (2160p) resolution that is crisp, detailed and lifelike. It functions with a brightness ceiling of 1000 lumens making videos/media bright and scintillating in a dark environment. However, in bright light, this may not produce the best picture, but still is viewable. The projector offers a light source life of about 20,000 hours making it a very long-lasting device.

This projector is amazing. It has Google TV, Bose speakers, 4K HDR10, and auto keystone; I don’t know how this projector is still under $1000. The only “negative” for this projector is the low lumen count so if there is a lot of light the image will get washed out but even still I have indoor lights on when I have the projector on and the images still look amazing. If you really want to be awestruck with this projector just put on one of those 4K+ HDR10 videos to show off what this projector can do.

I am absolutely loving the Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus! Setup was a breeze, and the picture quality is stunning. The huge bonus for us is the built-in Google TV. It's so convenient; we just power it on and start streaming all our apps instantly. No need for an extra dongle. Plus, it just looks good. It's a nice, sleek piece of tech, and the subtle ambient lights on it are a really cool touch.

Great for nighttime backyard movie nights for sure. Not great for daytime viewing.

The fan is far too loud. I own an older Ef-12 projector and there is no noticeable fan noise. On this new unit the fan noise is obnoxious from the moment it is turned on. Very surprised by that. The Bose sound is not very Bose-ish. I expected it to be amazing like my Bose mini-speaker (which seems like it would fit inside this projector) but I found the sound to be lackluster and not better than my old Ef-12. Another annoyance for me, maybe not for you, is that this device has a power block. For as sleek as this all-in-one unit is, it seems like a misstep to have an external power block. It is like they stuffed sound and video into the unit but forgot to leave room for the power supply. For my set up it leaves a sharp edged block in the middle of the room to step on in the dark.

We have been wanting to buy a project to watch movies with the Family. This is honestly the best choice for a projector that we have purchased. This is a great product. The movie look really nice, andwe are very happy.

Why families will love this projector: - Easy to setup and position – auto shape correction works great - Unique design fits anywhere and the under glow is fun and magical - 4K picture is sharp and amply bright for movie night - Safety features like object detection help protect eyes. The Lifestudio Flex Plus is such a fun little projector. I was very curious to see Epson trying out this new form factor in this device. If you’ve owned a long throw projector, you know how annoying getting the feet setup up perfectly can be. With this model it holds its position on a short pedestal and has the perfect amount to tension to easily position it in no time. That paired with the excellent auto shape calibration means you can be ready for movie night anywhere in less than a minute. The Plus version has a nice wood grain top, anodized aluminum stand, and RGB led under glow that brings some magic and fun to movie night. The kids will know exactly what is happening when this device comes out and the lights turn on. There are different colors of subtle glows from warm white, blues/purples, to rainbow and has adjustable brightness. I found that it brightened up the room just enough to see your popcorn and safely move around during your featured film. In terms of inputs, you can power this with the included AC adapter, but all with USB-C making it super versatile. If you have a laptop charger or battery bank, you can easily power this unit and bring it anywhere you want to host! It has HDMI and supports USB A for thumb drives, and also has a headphone port for private listening or you can pair your Bluetooth headphones as well. Speaking of the picture, the 4K image is sharp and has great color and contrast. This projector maxes out at about 1000 lumens, so it’s perfect for movie evenings or nights, but daytime usage in rooms with a lot of sunlight are not going to provide the best experience. The built-in Bose speaker produces great sound for the size with good highs and mids. It's not room filling, but definitely enough as an all-in-one package. If you have a soundbar that supports bluetooth you can easily pair that if you're looking for something more substantial. This projector has all the baked-in apps that you would expect. It runs Google TV and has Netflix, Youtube, Prime Video, and more so you don’t have to tack on an additional stick to get the service that you want. Finally, I tried the Projection Studio app which allows you to pair your phone as a remote and also allows easily sharing photos and video on family night. If you have a bunch of members with phones it’s a really fun interactive way for people to upload content, view it live, and send reactions like comments and emojis. It was definitely a blast when we used it and fun to see all the photos and memories that people had captured!

Great size, allows me to get a bigger screen in a smaller space because it’s compact. Speakers sounds great for our movie room.
