Thank you for mentioning input lag in every projector review I don’t think anyone else does. As a gamer looking into purchasing a projector your reviews are a great help. Keep it up!
I hope projectors get good enough to be considered more mainstream, so there’s even more and more competition. There’s a lot of products out there but it is somewhat niche so the prices are still really high for what’s available. I have been considering a projector for years and just bit the bullet this year but my budget kept increasing even though I only wanted a VERY casual projector. This looks so awesome, and it’s cool to see really big name brands are making amazing projectors.
Projectors are cheaper than TVs for what they offer. And they've been good enough to go mainstream for over a decade - but they won't go mainstream because they're not as user-friendly. 4k/120hz ones are difficult to shop for, but 1080p/120Hz can look amazing at huge image sizes (my #Ptax200 720p used to look incredible at >6ft wide, and it was made in 2008).
Amazing video as always. You making it really hard to decide what I will use in my new home being built. Thanks and looking forward to your next video.
Right!...I have a black screen and I was leaning towards the Benq V7050i...but I'm thinking with a darker screen the brightness Epson provides might match perfectly...15inch throw for 120inch is killing me though...
Finally! Much awaited, though I bought my LS500 and thought of returning it if your review rated it bad but after a few days of use I realised it's a performer like none other I trialed. The ease of use, setup, the image quality are fantabulous. I know the LG OS is best when it comes to use but Android TV is as good. is The only downside I see is the distance from the wall for a 120' image. And yeah, I've been projecting on a wall till now and it looks amazing, wonder what an ALR screen can do when I get one. Though you mentioned a light output > 80, in the night time I've mostly viewed it at the minimum 50 and that made the fan noise literally unnoticeable. For the sound, as even the Epson official ad says hook up your own speakers so I got an JBL 310 to pair with it and then played The Dark Knight - my my I had a theatre in my living room! Though the projector sound is okay for a small room around 100in x 100in - definitely speakers are recommended if you'd like to immerse in the viewing experience. The only other UST projector I liked better than Epson LS500 was Samsung LSP9T but unfortunately the price was too high. I'd wait for your comparison video but from the ranking perspective and my trial with all the other projectors I'd rank them as below: 1. Samsung LSP9T (the best of the best) 2. Epson LS500 3. BenQ v6050 4. LG HU85LA 5. Optoma P2 (simply loses to LG because of it's super clunky OS) and yeah Vava and Hisense are not anywhere near these, they're just Chinese crap
UPDATE: The projector picture was stunning but the projector has issues with sound output - it's gone, even after connecting AUX/HDMI to external output. The sound is dead. Had to return it unfortunately as Epson provided no support.
@@rajatm Thanks for such a well and intelligently written comment. What did you end up using for your own setup? What would you rate your top 3-5 based on value? (Performance to cost)
@@Fireavatar33 I'd say Samsung LSP9T remains the top with the sound, picture quality, fantastic interface. Epson LS-500 is certainly the top when it comes to cost and features offered, I however went for the 1080p Epson LS-300 after the defective LS-500 and I am enjoying it to the core just projecting on the wall, and with the inbuilt yamaha speakers.
@@rajatm hey man looking to get the ls500 and I'm hearing alot of ppl saying get a 4 k but isn't 4k content not really a thing yet? Like if I watch sports or whatever on it it's not like it's in 4k anyways so wondering if it's better to grab a 1080p laser ust projector??
@@blitzbreppin9847 I can hardly tell a difference between 4k and 1080p while projecting on wall unless you're going to get the screen for projection. So far I'm super happy with Epson LS300 that I own. Amazing sound, great projection on plain wall - better quality than cinema screens!
Thanks for noting the native resolution. It's kind of hard to believe ultra-short throws are still using fake 4K like a year and a half after I started looking at this. It's harder to believe they are allowed to advertise these products as 4K. :-P
as someone who daily drives the Epson HC 3800 projector as a living room TV, that brightness is a major deal for me. I will take the resolution hit every day if it means being able to watch under daylight conditions. I am surprised that the great placement/zoom flexibility typical of their long throws did not translate to the UST models. I guess it's the nature of the technology.
I also drive the HC 3800, i’d like more luminosity as well, but for 2300$ it’s not worth it since the HC 3800 has almost every other feature the ls500 can offer. I’d wait a little bit.
Chris…great review. Been waiting on this one. I have purchased the Epson 120” screen and have been using it for a few months now. Really enjoy it and the brightness of the screen is amazing. Hooked my Xbox series X up to it and playing on that size of a screen with low input lag is amazing! The big downfall is the distance from projector. Spent days trying to find the perfect tv stand for it. They have some high end ones specifically for it but price tag is outrageous. I’d recommend this projector. Keep up good work!
Fantastic review! Chris, your reviews are the best on YT. Straight to the point without all of the other distractions. Liked and subscribed! Great work mate, from Australia 😎👍
Good review! Love the fact that It fits right in front of the projection screen, it’s 4000 lumens and has 3 hdmi port. That being said, at 4800$ CAD, i’ll stick with the epson home cinema 3800 which has all the other spec this one have and no latency while playing on ps5 and that has hdmi 2.0 18gb just like this one. For 2300$ CAD cheaper, it’s a way better deal than the ls500. I would have expected at least hdmi 2.1, better sound and native 4k at this price, 1000 more lumens cant justify that price tag. so i’ll just stay with the home cinema 3800 mounted to my ceiling until they release one with upgraded feature that justify the price.
I have two objections against LCD projection, 1. color shift after time, yes LCD projector will not look the same after few years as it was new and colors degrade. 2. the dynamic contrast is very bad when compared to DLP, we are not talking about deepest black and brightest white, we are talking about low scale of shadows and highlights close to maximum and minimum. This is the reason why you dont see much of information in dark shadow areas on LCD projectors, and same bad sky projections. This is where DLP shutters the LCD projection. and since the introduction of multicolored color wheels in DLP, the rainbow effect is gone and I absolutely prefer the DLP over LCD projection.
I'm a huge Fan of the 5050ub and use it in my own home theater. I still prefer it because it has far superior black levels and the input lag is the same.
I had them side by side I think it eh500 wins in day light and hdr. But not detail. Both paired with top alr screens. Fresnel screen was best for eh500
Aren’t all 4K laser tvs actually 2 1080p screens pixel shifting like this? Just sounded weird he mentioned it like it was unexpected. I don’t think there are any actual 4K laser tvs?
I asked about this tech about the time LCD screens cost as much as an SUV. I called it the laser eye, but I didn't expect it to be a projection type since they can digitally mirror videos.
with that throw ration its tough to call it a UST projector its more a regular short throw projector. its kind of a miss construction. when you have to "accept" the pop up lens as a downside at least the show ratio should be great.
Hey I know this is an older video but I’m looking to upgrade from my current setup to either the LS300 or the LS500, I’m leaning toward the 500 but I was curious because your video explains it comes in either 100 or 120 inch models, but on Amazon and online it’s advertised as adjustable throw rather than set at those two sizes, between 70-130inch. Are those online that I’m seeing just advertised incorrectly? Love your videos they help me do all my research before I buy and it’s so refreshing to have all the info!
Another excellent video!…. Will you be getting the Hisense L9G soon? I’m torn between the Epson LS500, Hisense L5F or the L9G. If you had to buy one today, which one would you pick?
The L9 is on the way. The LS500 is much better than the L5 because of color accuracy and input lag. I haven't seen the L9 in person yet so I can't speak on that one yet.
Would love to see your review of the Bomaker Polaris. Just got it and with the colors calibrated it's a pretty impressive image, but I don't have any comparison to other UST projectors.
Perhaps a little off topic, but can the Vividstorm UST screen be used with a regular projector? I think EBPMAN used this screen in his Benq TK850 review. Great review and thanks in advance.
it really depends on what is important to you. If sharpness is important then I'd go with the Optoma. If the throw is going to be an issue with the Epson then I'd go with the Optoma. If brightness and input lag are major concerns for you then Epson.
Stupid question but I can't find an answer anywhere... is it possible to set it up to project a smaller screen than 100 inches? I would be happy very happy with an 85" display. I want it for the 3D capabilities. My room is very very small.
Hi Chris! Awesome review as always. I'm thinking about purchasing my first UST and I'm chosing between the Epson LS500 and the BenQ V7050i. In Sweden I can get them for the same price, roughly 2600 USD. My living room is bright during the day, therefore I'm thinking about getting the LS500 with its superior output. My first question is whether 4000 ANSI lumen and 2500 make a huge difference? I mean is it linear? Is the Epson really 60% brighter? Do you think the 2500 Lumen from the BenQ will be enough with a good ALR screen? Unless there is a huge difference in brightness I'm thinking about getting the BenQ since it has way better throw ratio. Thanks / Magnus
Hey Chris, think you'll be able to get your hands on any of the new JVC NZ projectors that were just revealed? Has JVC said anything about review units?
Do you think the 5050ub is still best under 3k? Been stressing over different options and I have no idea what's a good purchase. I was originally looking at something under 2k but I could probably stretch to a 5050ub, or maybe just buy a large TV instead. I think the 85" Vizio P Series Quantum X is not much more and I probably won't be able to run 100" screen anyways, but as you can probably tell I'm extremely torn lol.
Hey Chris, wondering if you can help me choose? got a tw7400 at the moment and unfortuntely have to change projector due to smaller space... reluctantly. How is the image, the blacks and colours in comparison to this tw7400? I know lamp based projectors are superior in color accuracy and deep blacks but how much?
4K PRO-UHD = 2K I agreed, when people said, that 4k are 8mp on the wall/screen, even for 1080p shifters. But i think Epson should not be allowed to call any of their single shift products, making 4mp, more than a 2k device!
My current ultra short throw is producing an 83 inch screen in my current place, because thats the space I have until I move in the future. Can I use this project at that size by moving it closer to the wall, or will that mess something up?
Not a lot of 4 k content out tho. Like if u watch football and sports it's not in 4k anyways even tho u have a 4k projector?? Am I missing something. Wanna get a 4 k projector but wondering about what I mentioned is it worth it or just grab a 1080p
@@mazx19 already thinking about it. I'm stationed in Korea but I'm visiting my parents the first two weeks in Nov so I might get it shipped to them and just bring it back with me since VAVA doesn't ship to APO addresses. I'll just ship the screen and bring the projector back with me
F this & Hesnse , gonna get VAVA CHROMA tomorrow release day , gonna get %40 off on that &2800 plus they gonna throw 120" screen with it , F these rip offs
@@DustinFrancis ya man good thinking U cant beat the price on launch day top of that FREE screen , even u cant get that on blk Friday in any projector company , their promotion just jaw dropping every 2 years ..actually was %40 was off on screen i wants to buy it anyway but couple of days ago throw it as FREE wwhatt, so also saved $800 , ya is best deal of the year, very good projector , even the first one still kicking a** in pic quality .. cant wait
Current Epson vobulated '4k' projectors use pixel shifting with 2x FHD resolution, while '4k' vobulated DLPs are 4x FHD resolution, thus Epsons are between FHD and UHD resolutions, on screen of course.
what projector would you recommend for in an apartment under $1700 usd?im looking for something that going to look very good with colour and black as well as being bright(i'm coming from OLED/QLED TVS so something similar) I think I want 3lcd and a true 4k and smart functions/speakers aren't important, there isn't to much light where it would go altho there could be some shining through a window at the bottom. also,do I need an alr screen or can I just project onto a wall/get the wall painted a cretial colour or way? thanks heaps(:
I'd say 16K is going to be SEVERAL years away. 8K isn't even common yet. we're more likely to see better 4k without pixel shifting or better pixel shifting before we see 8k, let alone 16k
I think Monday come along VAVA CHROMA , THATS the projector gonna get with their %40 off $2800 , u cant f*n beat that for triple laser technology & ALPD 4 is much better an these 2 in price wise & feathers also they gonna be 120" VAVA screen with %40 on launch day gonna be $800 no brainier ...f*n Epson projectors is always rip off comes to prices , a lots better projectors & cheaper out there
@@ChrisMajestic man i just heard throw EMAIL ...VAVA CHROMA ON LAUNCH day in 13th U getting the Projector for $2800/%40 OFF of course & NOW on top of that GIVES U VAVA 100 OR 120" SCREEN FRRREE NOW with purchase VAVA CHROMA whatttttt ....MAAANNN fuckin VAVA killing it this year ...HANDS DOWN would be the GREASTEST deal & Projector of the year! cant wait till MONDAY
you can but the screen isn't meant to be mounted upside down. The screens are directional and are built to reject light from above. I would advise against ceiling mounting a UST
When you can get an 85/86" 4K TV for under $2000, I don't think it is worth paying more than twice as much for a projector + screen at 100". The main aim of UST projectors should be 120"+ but only the LG and Samsung can get that size from a reasonable distance. The rest need to be too far from the screen to project a 120" image. I think this should be a major factor when comparing UST projectors, and not just Picture Quality.
outdoor use is basically the same as indoor use. You just have to get something super bright. Epson projectors tend to work well for outdoor applications.
For those of you commenting on why don't you get a 100 inch TV stop it . Cheapest 100 inch TV is 20k and you will never get a true cinema experience with a 100 inch led TV. I have a 125 inch projector screen and I still feel I haven't felt the true immersive experience. I
F this is not even 4K , gonna get VAVA CHROMA tomorrow release day , gonna get %40 off on that &2800 plus they gonna throw 120" screen with it , F these rip offs, specially comes to Epson
I still can not understand how they can call it "native" 4k when they have to use pixel shift to get 4k... One of the things that just rubs me wrong how they develop a spec. and then the Mfg. pervert it's meaning.
Really good video. Thank you for mentioning the speakers. If I am spending that much for a laser tv then I want higher quality speakers, even if I am connecting to a sound system.
Thank you for mentioning input lag in every projector review I don’t think anyone else does. As a gamer looking into purchasing a projector your reviews are a great help. Keep it up!
What have you decided on getting? I am just too coward to make the decision yet
I have Been Waiting For This one chris
Such honest guy best reviewer on UA-cam thanks for your effort.
I hope projectors get good enough to be considered more mainstream, so there’s even more and more competition. There’s a lot of products out there but it is somewhat niche so the prices are still really high for what’s available. I have been considering a projector for years and just bit the bullet this year but my budget kept increasing even though I only wanted a VERY casual projector. This looks so awesome, and it’s cool to see really big name brands are making amazing projectors.

If color and sharpness are your main concerns I'd say BenQ. The HDR looks better on the Epson and it's brigher but certainly not as sharp as the BenQ

Does this thing focus even if it’s put closer to the wall than what is needed to achieve 100”?
what do you think about the jmgo u2 pro or the jmgo s3? Am about to buy it id appreciate your opinion thanks
How do you view your 3D content? I'm still trying to figure it out from the PC (video files)

4K PRO-UHD = 2K
I agreed, when people said, that 4k are 8mp on the wall/screen, even for 1080p shifters.
But i think Epson should not be allowed to call any of their single shift products, making 4mp, more than a 2k device!
My current ultra short throw is producing an 83 inch screen in my current place, because thats the space I have until I move in the future. Can I use this project at that size by moving it closer to the wall, or will that mess something up?
Can it be ceiling mounted
LED projectors don't have a good black level and low prghitness. But what about XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector?
Not a lot of 4 k content out tho. Like if u watch football and sports it's not in 4k anyways even tho u have a 4k projector?? Am I missing something. Wanna get a 4 k projector but wondering about what I mentioned is it worth it or just grab a 1080p
How does it compare to the 9400w?
Yup, that throw distance is horrible. I'm interested in the new Hisense 100L9G since it's got HDMI 2.1, looks better and throw distance is better
Hisense is only native 60hz so the 2.1 port is pointless lol
@@mazx19 yeah I saw that on thier official spec page, oh well

@@mazx19 already thinking about it. I'm stationed in Korea but I'm visiting my parents the first two weeks in Nov so I might get it shipped to them and just bring it back with me since VAVA doesn't ship to APO addresses. I'll just ship the screen and bring the projector back with me
Hi Chris. Can you test Xgimi Horizon Pro?
What if I use non ALR screen, just a $100 screen in a dark room?
Just in time for the Hisense L9G release…haha.
F this & Hesnse , gonna get VAVA CHROMA tomorrow release day , gonna get %40 off on that &2800 plus they gonna throw 120" screen with it , F these rip offs

Doesn't the cheaper LS300 have terrible response time? I don't think you can use the LS300 for gaming.
LS300 is around 16ms
amazing video
What brand or type has the best black levels (UST)?
Can you ceiling mount the LS500?
am I missing something or is this a 2K projector and not 4K?
1/2 UHD, 2xFHD
@@carlo70no yeah...so...2K :)
@@grantpaterson1016 no it’s a sort of 3k :)
Mathematically 2K is technically higher res than this. It works out to be slightly less than 2K.
Current Epson vobulated '4k' projectors use pixel shifting with 2x FHD resolution, while '4k' vobulated DLPs are 4x FHD resolution, thus Epsons are between FHD and UHD resolutions, on screen of course.
Can it do 200 inches
What about the fact that it’s limited to Rex 709?
it's not limited to rec 709, it's tuned for rec 709. But Rec 2020 still looks great.
what projector would you recommend for in an apartment under $1700 usd?im looking for something that going to look very good with colour and black as well as being bright(i'm coming from OLED/QLED TVS so something similar) I think I want 3lcd and a true 4k and smart functions/speakers aren't important, there isn't to much light where it would go altho there could be some shining through a window at the bottom.
also,do I need an alr screen or can I just project onto a wall/get the wall painted a cretial colour or way?
thanks heaps(:
if you want something bright at that price point then take a look at the BenQ TK700STI or Epson 3800
Just curious with JVC offering an 8k e shift projector how far away do you think we are from 8k and 16k projectors becoming commonplace
I'd say 16K is going to be SEVERAL years away. 8K isn't even common yet. we're more likely to see better 4k without pixel shifting or better pixel shifting before we see 8k, let alone 16k
@@ChrisMajestic 16k is almost imax quality lol
@@ChrisMajestic the cheapest 4K pixel shifting projector I’ve seen is 830 dollars I hope it lowers to 400 soon
@@ChrisMajestic I’m hoping in a year or two budget 4K projectors will drop significantly in price
my friend please put a comparison video between asus axe11000 router and netgear nighthawk axe11000 router
Funny thing is I rather have it farther from wall , I have cats and last thing I want is them on table trying to reach screen 😂
This projector is better than the Benq V750I?
It's really really close but I slightly prefer the BenQ so far. partially because of the better throw ratio and sharpness.
@@ChrisMajestic Awesome...thank you!...that's all I needed to know...
I think Monday come along VAVA CHROMA , THATS the projector gonna get with their %40 off $2800 , u cant f*n beat that for triple laser technology & ALPD 4 is much better an these 2 in price wise & feathers also they gonna be 120" VAVA screen with %40 on launch day gonna be $800 no brainier ...f*n Epson projectors is always rip off comes to prices , a lots better projectors & cheaper out there

Hi
So which UST projector has the best picture quality before you said it was the LG HU85LA I don't know which one to get
The LS500 and BenQ V7050i both look better than the HU85LA.
@@ChrisMajestic wow wasn't expecting that thankyou
Can this be mounted on ceiling??I have a dedicated movie room with epson 5030..wanna upgrade to this If so
you can but the screen isn't meant to be mounted upside down. The screens are directional and are built to reject light from above. I would advise against ceiling mounting a UST
Hello, does anyone know the length and height of the 120" screen?
When you can get an 85/86" 4K TV for under $2000, I don't think it is worth paying more than twice as much for a projector + screen at 100". The main aim of UST projectors should be 120"+ but only the LG and Samsung can get that size from a reasonable distance. The rest need to be too far from the screen to project a 120" image. I think this should be a major factor when comparing UST projectors, and not just Picture Quality.
Going from 85 to 100 is a HUGE difference. I do agree that the aim should be 120 inch though.
Excellent comment!!! Spot on.
Can we get your input on best projector for outdoor use, at $1k, $500, $300?
outdoor use is basically the same as indoor use. You just have to get something super bright. Epson projectors tend to work well for outdoor applications.
For those of you commenting on why don't you get a 100 inch TV stop it . Cheapest 100 inch TV is 20k and you will never get a true cinema experience with a 100 inch led TV. I have a 125 inch projector screen and I still feel I haven't felt the true immersive experience. I

Find a $5000 100 inch TV.
@@ChrisMajestic touché
I still can not understand how they can call it "native" 4k when they have to use pixel shift to get 4k... One of the things that just rubs me wrong how they develop a spec. and then the Mfg. pervert it's meaning.
It's incredibly confusing. I agree.
It seems like just getting a regular 100" tv would be a better idea.
Sure, if you can afford one
@@ChrisMajestic Surely they come in cheaper than these high end projectors.
@@demonhighwayman9403 Not even close. The cheapest 100" TV I've seen is $15,000. The best you're getting is 85"
@@ChrisMajestic Ahh I see, well maybe in another 10 years affordable 100" tv's will be a thing.
The distance you have to set this is ridiculous. I'd 100% buy it if you could seat it at a reasonable distance.
Really good video. Thank you for mentioning the speakers. If I am spending that much for a laser tv then I want higher quality speakers, even if I am connecting to a sound system.
