Product Overview
The Epson EH-LS800B is designed as a “laser TV” for enthusiasts who want a cinematic image without a traditional projector installation or a huge flat panel dominating the room. 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 ensures equal colour and white brightness for vibrant, natural images without the rainbow effect associated with some single-chip designs. A high-output laser light source provides 4,000 lumens and is rated for up to 20,000 hours, giving you years of maintenance-free operation with consistent performance.
Viewing Experience
The EH-LS800B delivers a bright, punchy and finely detailed picture that works both in a dedicated dark room and in controlled ambient light. 4K PRO-UHD processing combines a 3LCD 1080p panel with advanced pixel shifting to render UHD content with impressive sharpness and clarity, while HDR10 and HLG support reveal more detail in highlights and shadows.
Colours are rich but natural, skin tones look believable and motion is smooth, making everything from sports to films and streaming series a pleasure to watch. Dark scenes benefit from the powerful dynamic contrast system, which modulates the laser to improve black levels and shadow detail without sacrificing brightness.
The built-in Yamaha 2.1 sound system gives a surprisingly full, spacious sound, with clear dialogue and a solid sense of bass. For many rooms it can serve as the main audio system; for more ambitious setups you can easily connect an AV receiver or sound system via HDMI ARC or optical output.
Gaming & Low Latency
With its dedicated gaming mode, the EH-LS800B offers input lag under 20 ms, making it an excellent 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, racers and sports titles feel smooth and responsive on a truly cinematic scale.
Recommended Room Size & Installation
Thanks to its ultra short throw design and high brightness, the EH-LS800B is ideal for small to large rooms:
- 80–100" images for smaller living rooms or 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 pulling the projector slightly further forward. Because the projector sits just in front of the wall on low furniture, there’s no ceiling mount, long cables or complex alignment – setup is straightforward and supported by Epson’s on-screen geometry tools and smartphone app.
Smart TV & Connectivity
The EH-LS800B comes with integrated Android TV, so you can access popular streaming services, apps and Google Assistant without any extra box. Chromecast built-in makes it easy to cast content from compatible phones, tablets or laptops.
On the rear panel you’ll find:
- 3 × HDMI inputs (including an ARC port and a gaming-optimised port)
- USB ports for media and power, plus Ethernet and Wi-Fi for networking
- Audio outputs for connection to external sound systems
This flexibility allows the EH-LS800B to act as the central hub for Blu-ray players, game consoles, set-top boxes and external streamers, alongside its built-in Android TV platform.
