Epson has unveiled a new long-throw laser projector that delivers a claimed "zero compromise" 4K picture thanks to a 3-LCD chip system with new pixel shifting technology. The Pro Cinema 4K PRO-UHD LS12000 also comes with an HDMI 2.1 port, promising 4K gaming at up to 120 frames per second. This projector is perfect for anyone looking for a high-quality 4K picture without any of the compromises.
Epson's projectors use a 3-chip LCD system instead of single DLP chips from Texas Instruments. This generally results in better color fidelity and none of the annoying "rainbow effect" of DLP projectors, but less perceived 4K resolution.
It has apparently solved that problem with what it calls "precision shift glass plate technology." As with other models, it uses three LCDs for red, green and blue, with each limited to 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. However, the shift glass plate system runs at a high refresh rate and accurately shifts pixels "to display a 3,840 x 2,160, 8.29-million-pixel image," the company said.
Meanwhile, the laser light source pumps out up to 2,700 lumens and lasts for up to 20,000 hours. It also allows for deeper blacks with a claimed contrast ratio of over 2,500,000:1. There's no sign of Dolby Vision, but it does offer HDR10, HLG and HDR10+, with the latter supported on Hulu, Amazon Prime and YouTube.
The Epson Pro Cinema LS12000 4K PRO-UHD projector is now available for $5,000. It is a great gaming projector with a 120 Hz refresh rate, lag input below 20 milliseconds, and 1080p upscaling. It is relatively bright compared to other 3-chip 4K projectors.
