A big image from twenty centimetres, and a screen that must match · review
The most expensive machine in this catalogue, and the most complete: a 3LCD laser ultra short throw with Bose audio, Google TV and a five-year warranty stated.
The bottom line A television replacement rather than a projector purchase: three-panel imaging, laser life, real audio and a stated warranty — with the same missing figures as the rest of the shelf.
A complete appliance. Laser light source, three-panel 4K imaging, Google TV, a Bose sound system and an ultra short throw lens, in one chassis that sits on furniture under the screen. Nothing else needs to be plugged in, mounted or run across the room.
3LCD sends light through one panel per primary colour. There is no colour wheel, so white and coloured light leave the lens at the same rate — the distinction that lets Epson publish equal white and colour brightness figures on other models, and the reason rainbow artefacts do not occur.
4 000 lumens, in that form. Epson publishes ANSI or white-and-colour figures on several other machines; here the listing states lumens without the qualifier, and this page reproduces it as published rather than converting it or assuming which measurement it is.
A Bose system in the chassis. On an ordinary projector, built-in sound is an afterthought in a box designed around a lens and a fan. Here the chassis is large and it sits where a soundbar would — which makes it the one machine in this catalogue where skipping the bar is a real option.
Not included. Every ultra short throw projector needs a rigid, ceiling-light-rejecting surface to work as intended, and at this price that purchase is small in proportion and essential in effect.

On an ultra short throw machine it is a far better proposition than on an ordinary projector, because the chassis is large and it sits under the screen where a bar would go. Whether it replaces a dedicated system depends on the room, and it is the only projector in this catalogue where the question is genuinely open.
Because it is a statement about expected life that a manufacturer has to honour. On a machine at this price with a laser source rated for tens of thousands of hours, a five-year term is consistent with the rest of the specification rather than a marketing addition.
Short throw · Full HD 1 920 × 1 080 · 3 500 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · 3D Ready · keystone
A short-throw 1080p projector at the accessible end of a family that is usually expensive — it sits close to the screen without needing the rigid, matched surface an ultra short throw machine demands.
Best for: A small room where a projector at the back is impossible, and where a rigid ALR screen is not in the budget.
≈ £625 / 610 €
Ultra short throw · 4K · 2 600 ISO lumens · 6 000:1 NATIVE contrast · Dolby Vision · 1 ms input lag · up to 200 inches
The only machine in this catalogue that publishes a native contrast ratio — 6 000:1 — alongside a measured brightness figure, which is what makes it comparable rather than merely impressive.
Best for: Someone who reads specifications and wants an ultra short throw machine whose figures can be checked against another that publishes the same ones.
≈ $2899 / 2379 €
Short throw · 4K HDR · 3 000 ANSI lumens · Google TV built in
The 4K version of the short-throw idea, with Google TV on board — a self-contained machine that sits close to the wall and needs nothing else plugged into it.
Best for: A room too small for a long throw projector where the picture still has to be 4K, and where one object is preferable to three.
≈ £1299 / 1321 €
