TESTED EPSON LS800B PROJECTOR

■ The Epson LS800B stands out by being a 3-LCD design instead of the more common DLP variants. But that isn’t the only thing that’s different. More importantly, it boasts the highest brightness rating in its category at 4000 lumens, even higher than our award-winning UST projector this year, the Benq V5000i.

■ On the video side, it’s the 3LCD light engine and the extremely short 0.16:1 throw ratio that cements the Epson’s credentials as the most room-friendly ultra-short-throw projector. It can be placed closer to the wall than any other projector in its class and it will still paint a 100in image!

■ Leave it in Cinema mode with frame interpolation off and it delivers a bright and punchy picture. The colour temperature is a chink in its armour though, leaning more towards the greenish or the blueish tinge and quite tricky to get it to behave neutrally.
