Epson has introduced its latest flagship product, the EH‑LS970B ultra-short throw (UST) projector, designed to revolutionize home cinema experiences. Launched recently in Australia and New Zealand, this projector boasts a real 4K resolution with 8.3 million pixels, 3LCD technology, and advanced AI-powered image processing. Priced at AU$6,399 and NZ$7,499, the EH-LS970B aims to cater to film enthusiasts and design-conscious consumers alike.
The projector’s standout feature is its ability to deliver a massive 150-inch image from just 28 cm away from the wall.

The projector supports full 10-bit HDR color processing, accepting 100% of the HDR source, which enhances the depth and clarity of images.
The EH-LS970B’s AI image processing capabilities further elevate its performance.

Additionally, the de-contour feature smooths out banding and artifacts, ensuring seamless image quality.
