Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: October 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Epson EH LS300B

  • High brightness (3,600 lumens) makes it usable in rooms with ambient light.
  • Impressive 2.1 Yamaha sound system that outperforms most built-in TV speakers.
  • Ultra-short-throw design allows for a large image (up to 120") while placed just inches from the wall.
  • 3LCD technology provides vibrant colors without the 'rainbow effect' seen in some DLP projectors.
  • Built-in Android TV and Chromecast for easy streaming without external devices.
  • Quick start-up and shut-down times compared to traditional lamp-based projectors.
  • Long-lasting laser light source rated for up to 20,000 hours of use.

What customers don't like about Epson EH LS300B

  • Native resolution is limited to 1080p, lacking the crispness of 4K alternatives.
  • Noticeable fan noise, particularly when running at higher brightness settings.
  • Poor input lag makes it less suitable for competitive gaming.
  • Lack of native support for major apps like Netflix on the built-in Android interface.
  • Weak black levels in very dark scenes compared to high-end home cinema models.
  • No optical zoom or lens shift, making physical placement and alignment critical.
  • Manual focus lever can feel coarse or 'spongy,' making fine adjustments difficult.

Verdict

The Epson EH-LS300B is a Full HD 1080p ultra-short-throw laser projector from the EpiqVision Ultra line, featuring 3LCD technology with 3,600 lumens of equal colour and white brightness and a 2,500,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Key characteristics include its ability to project a massive 120-inch image from just inches away, integrated Android TV for streaming, and a built-in 2.1-channel Yamaha speaker system. Main pros consist of exceptional brightness suitable for well-lit rooms, a long-lasting laser light source rated for 20,000 hours, and a wide colour gamut without the 'rainbow effect' typical of 1-chip DLP models. However, notable cons include its lack of native 4K resolution, significant fan noise at maximum brightness (37 dB), and relatively high input lag that may hinder competitive gaming.
