The Epson LS300 isnt meant to be portable as its a big and heavy projector, and it lacks an integrated battery, so you need to plug it in. The projector lacks auto keystone correction, so youll need to adjust the image manually, and it also doesnt have autofocus. It does have an integrated 2.1 speaker system, so you won't need to worry about connecting it to a soundbar if you do move it.The Epson LS300 projector uses a laser light source, which requires no maintenance and will last for 20,000 hours or more. You likely wont ever have to worry about replacing it. As its a 1080p projector, its limited to outputting a 1080p @ 60Hz resolution. Its an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector, so its capable of projecting on a 61 screen at a distance of 1 and up to 120 at a distance of 15.2".

Viewing Experience | The Epson EpiqVision LS300s delivers a strong overall performance with its impressive peak brightness, making it suitable for bright environments and ensuring vibrant colors. However, its brightness uniformity is only satisfactory, and while it performs adequately in darker settings, the contrast could be improved as the blacks lack depth. The projector offers a decent color gamut and excels with the Rec. 709 color space, but struggles with the wider Rec. 2020 color space. Overall, it is a solid option for users looking for a bright projector for varied lighting conditions, though it may fall short in contrast and wider color reproduction. |
