MSRP: £5,999.00
It seems like an eternity since Epson announced their LS10000 laser projector at CEDIA last year but they are finally bringing their revolutionary new product to the UK.
Epson announced the EH-LS10000 1080p Full HD Laser Projector for the UK market at ISE 2015 and speaking with Epson Product Manager Paul Wilson this morning, he confirmed that the projector will start shipping to UK stores on the 1st of April with a list price of £5,999; it will also include a three year warranty. Paul said that Epson were very excited to be launching such a ground-breaking product and leading the way into a new era of laser projection. He added that the LS10000 is the culmination of years of development, so whilst it might only have been announced this morning, it's been a long time coming.
The LS1000 includes a lot of cutting-edge technology for its £5,999 price point.
A price point of £5,999 puts the LS10000 directly between Sony's VPL-VW300 and VPL-VW500 native 4K Ultra HD projectors but the Epson has a lot of cutting-edge technology that makes it very interesting product despite technically being only Full HD. It uses two blue lasers as a light source, which means brightness, consistency and, most importantly, long life. It also uses Liquid Crystal on Quartz (LCoQ), so nice deep blacks like you find on JVC's Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) projectors. There's also "4K Enhancement Technology", again like the JVCs, so whilst it isn't native 4K it can accept a 4K signal and produce a higher resolution image than normal Full HD.
