Epson Home Cinema LS11000.
The laser projector sweet spot — true 4K at 2,500 lumens with exceptional contrast.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The smart money pick for serious home theater. You lose 200 lumens versus the LS12000 and a touch of contrast performance, but save $1,000 for a projector that still outperforms virtually every DLP competitor in its class. The best ratio of price to picture quality in the market.”
