Product Overview
The Epson EH-LS800W is designed as a “laser TV” for enthusiasts who want a cinematic image without ceiling mounts or a huge flat panel. Its ultra short throw lens sits close to the wall or screen and projects a sharp 4K PRO-UHD image between 80" and 150" diagonal, turning a low cabinet into the heart of your home cinema.
Epson’s 3LCD engine delivers equal colour and white brightness, producing vibrant, natural images without the rainbow effect associated with some single-chip designs. A high-output laser light source provides up to 4,000 lumens and is rated for around 20,000 hours, giving you years of virtually maintenance-free operation with consistent performance.
Viewing Experience
The EH-LS800W offers a bright, punchy and finely detailed viewing experience that works in a dedicated dark room or in controlled ambient light. 4K PRO-UHD processing combines a 3LCD 1080p panel with advanced pixel shifting to render UHD content with impressive clarity, while HDR10 and HLG support reveal extra detail in highlights and shadows.
Colours are rich yet natural, skin tones look believable and motion is smooth, making everything from sports and films to streaming series and concerts engaging to watch. The powerful dynamic contrast system modulates the laser output to enhance black levels and shadow detail without throwing away brightness.
The integrated Yamaha 2.1 sound system delivers a surprisingly full, spacious soundstage, with clear dialogue and convincing bass weight. For many users it can serve as the main audio system; for more ambitious setups you can connect an external stereo or AV system via HDMI ARC or optical output.
Gaming & Low Latency
With its dedicated gaming mode, the EH-LS800W provides low input lag (below 20 ms), making it a strong choice for big-screen console and PC gaming. It accepts 4K signals up to 60 Hz and Full HD up to 120 Hz, so fast-paced shooters, sports and racing titles remain smooth and responsive even on a 100"–150" image.
Recommended Room Size & Installation
Thanks to its ultra short throw design and high brightness, the EH-LS800W is ideal for small to large rooms:
- 80–100" images in smaller living rooms and media corners
- 120–150" images in larger lounges or dedicated cinema rooms
You can achieve an 80" picture from just a few centimetres from the wall, and scale up to 150" by moving the projector slightly further from the wall on your cabinet. Because the projector sits just in front of the screen area, there’s no ceiling mount, long cable runs or complex alignment – setup is straightforward, aided by Epson’s on-screen geometry tools and companion app.
The white finish helps the EH-LS800W blend discreetly into bright, modern interiors, making it easier to integrate into everyday living spaces than a large dark projector or oversized TV.
Smart TV & Connectivity
The EH-LS800W includes Android TV, so you can access popular streaming services, apps and Google Assistant without adding an external box. Chromecast built-in makes it easy to cast content from compatible phones, tablets or laptops.
Connectivity highlights include:
- 3 × HDMI inputs (including one ARC port and one gaming-optimised port)
- USB ports for media playback and powering streaming sticks
- Ethernet (on some regions) and built-in Wi-Fi for network connectivity
- Audio outputs, including HDMI ARC and optical, for external sound systems
This flexibility lets the EH-LS800W act as the central hub for Blu-ray players, game consoles, set-top boxes, media players and external streamers, alongside its own Android TV platform.
