Verdict

The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS650 is a 4K PRO-UHD ultra-short-throw laser projector that utilizes 3-chip 3LCD technology to deliver 3,600 lumens of equal colour and white brightness, supporting display sizes from 60 to 120 inches at a 2.5 million:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Key advantages include its high light output for daytime viewing without 'rainbow artifacts,' a built-in 2.1 Yamaha sound system (20W), and a low input lag of approximately 20ms for casual gaming. However, it lacks native 4K resolution, lacks support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+, features only two HDMI ports, and has been noted for sluggish Android TV performance and increased fan noise at high brightness levels.
