A laser projector that challenges the very wits of the pricier competition is a threat to them, but a delight for us. But is it worth the asking price?

Words Kaizad Billimoria] The timing of the Epson EH-LS12000B's arrival for testing could be either beneficial or unfavorable depending on the outcome of the review. This 4K-ish laser projector, intended for dedicated home cinema enthusiasts is priced lower than its level of features and resembles the similarly impressive yet affordably priced competitors.

The EH-LS12000B is a well-constructed and substantial piece of home entertainment equipment. Its size, typical of laser projectors designed for serious home cinema use, makes it too large to fit comfortably on most coffee tables. This suggests that the projector is meant to be installed in a dedicated home cinema room, rather than being a casual projector that is stored away when not in use.

Big, bold and beautiful

Despite its bulk, the projector has a tidy appearance due to its textured black finish and rounded edges. The large lens sits prominently at the center of the front edge, protected by automatic sliding doors. The vents located on either side appear to be capable of managing heat generated while keeping fan noise to a minimum.
