Epson Malaysia has just released its latest high-end projector, the EH-LS9000B, and it looks like a bit of a dream for anyone wanting a proper cinema experience at home.
This 4K laser unit uses the brand’s 3LCD tech to push out a full 8.3 million pixels, which basically means you’re getting a pin-sharp image even if you decide to go massive with a 300-inch screen. With 2,200 lumens of brightness and a massive contrast ratio, it is clearly built to handle deep blacks and loads of shadow detail.
Under the hood, they’ve packed in a 15-element glass lens system that is designed to keep things crisp right to the edges of the frame while stopping any annoying light leakage. It also runs on a 32-bit processor that manages colour mapping and motion in real-time. Whether you are watching a moody HDR10+ film or a fast-paced football match, the 10-bit colour processing and 4K frame interpolation should keep everything looking smooth, vibrant, and lifelike.
One of the best bits is the solid-state laser light source. Because it is not a traditional bulb, you get around 20,000 hours of use, so you don’t have to worry about expensive replacements any time soon. It also boots up almost instantly, which is a nice bonus. Setting it up seems fairly painless too, thanks to the 3-axis motorised lens, allowing precise zoom and focus plus ten memory presets that let you save different screen layouts for various types of content.
For those who take their smart home tech seriously, the EH-LS9000B plays nice with automation platforms like Control4 and Crestron, making it a solid fit for a professional custom installation.
