EPSON EH-LS500B HOME PROJECTOR

Sometimes bigger can be better, much better, especially when we’re talking about TV screen size. Or, more specifically in this case, the display area of Epson’s EH-LS500B Android TV Edition home projector.

What’s particularly special about this device is that it can be placed very close to the wall on to which it’s projecting its image. And that image can be a massive 65 to 130 inches in size, projected in ultra-high-def 4K resolution. When you compare the price of this device to televisions with the same dimensions and resolution, you’ll agree that it’ll be money well spent.

And, because it’s an Android TV, you can stream shows, games, movies, news and sports, effortlessly. It’s very simple to set up. Hook up your device to one of three HDMI inputs, enjoy immersive sound from the two 10 W built-in speakers, and control the projector using either its remote, or via the iProjection app on your smartphone. There’s even a nifty hidden compartment at the front, where you can secretly stash your streaming device.

It boasts a brightness output of 4 000 lumens, and an incredible contrast ratio of 2 500 000:1 – for viewers this means vivid, clear content, deep blacks, and crisp, welldefined shadows.

You won’t require a black screen permanently set up on your wall to use this device. Rather, it’s discreet and stylish, and will blend in easily with your home decor. And, if you need more convincing, the laser light source is so durable you could watch content every day for 10 years in Eco mode – that’s around 20 000 hours of viewing.
