Epson LS12000 – 8 Month Review
Kevis Films & Home Theater
Expert Pick #01
Epson Pro Cinema LS12000.
Epson's flagship with 2,700 lumens and native 4K processing. The best picture quality available.
The Verdict.
9.8/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“Still the projector to beat for dedicated home theaters. The 3LCD laser combination delivers colors and contrast that single-chip DLP projectors simply cannot match, and the HDR10+ support future-proofs it. Overkill for a casual setup — essential for anyone building a proper cinema room.”
