The Home Cinema LS100 brings bright, big-screen projection in a smart ultra-short throw design to living rooms for life-size movies, video, TV, and gaming with or without a screen. AVS Forum selected the LS100 for its innovative laser light source, ultra-short throw design and optimal price.

"The AVS Forum editorial team selected super-cool, knock-your-socks-off products based on our honest impressions of performance, technology and value represented by the demos we experienced ourselves," said Scott Wilkinson, editor, AVS Forum. "Epson broke the mold of expensive ultra short-throw projectors at CEDIA 2017 with the new Home Cinema LS100, which sports laser-phosphor illumination for only $3,000. Try finding a 100-inch flat panel for $3,000 – you won't."
