Like New with Ultra low usage
One of the very best 4K UHD Laser projector's available
And the best for gaming with its ultra low gaming lag


The Epson EH-LS500B (also known as the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS500 in certain regions) is an Ultra Short Throw (UST) laser projector built to serve as a direct replacement for large living room TVs. [1, 2]


Notably, the LS500 is the first UST projector we've seen that touts itself as a gaming projector right out of the gate, with a very low rated input lag of 16.7 ms and full 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 ports that handle 4K HDR at 60 Hz. Our Bodnar 4K lag meter measured a relatively close 21.1 ms with 4K/60 Hz signals and 27.4 ms with 1080p/60 Hz after optimizing the menu options for low lag (see the review appendix for more detail). The Epson has a Frame Interpolation motion-smoothing feature—which as usual increases input lag if it's applied—but it didn't seem to be available with any signal type besides 1080p/24, so it would not likely come into play for gaming anyway.

If you're selling a living room UST projector these days you've gotta give it some "smarts," and that's handled here with a supplied Android TV HDMI streaming dongle. The stick hides away in a compartment behind the magnetically-attached front grille equipped with its own USB port for power. It uses apps from the Google Play store and is a vast improvement over the Android-based Aptoide streaming platform we've railed against in other projector reviews. I was able to successfully download and use apps for YouTube and my three paid subscription services including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney +, and got excellent 4K image quality from each. The projector's microphone-equipped remote allows Google Assistant voice searches or information queries. The dongle also integrates Chromecast built-in, which allows sharing of photos and casting of compatible apps from mobile devices on the same wireless network. Note that like most streaming sticks, this accessory is strictly a WiFi affair, so you'll need a decent wireless signal. Although the projector itself has an RJ45 LAN connection, it's only for network control or sharing content via Epson's iProjection mobile app or PC software—a clear carryover from this chassis's commercial roots.

Brightness & Ambient Light Handling [

The core strength of the EH-LS500B is its immense light output. Measuring close to 3,600 calibrated lumens in its highest modes, it ranks as one of the brightest consumer UST projectors on the market. When paired with an Ambient Light Rejection (ALR) screen, it holds its own beautifully in daytime conditions and brightly lit living rooms without washing out. [1, 2, 3]

Picture Quality & Color Accuracy

By utilizing a 3LCD system instead of DLP technology, the projector completely eliminates the "rainbow effect" (color wheel artifacts) that distracts some viewers. Colors are punchy, highly saturated, and accurate. While its 4K PRO-UHD resolution uses pixel-shifting rather than a native 4K chip, reviews note the final image remains incredibly sharp and detailed at standard viewing distances.


Class-Leading Brightness: Easily usable in daylight environments.

No Rainbow Effect: 3LCD architecture protects sensitive eyes from color artifacts.

Ultra-Low Input Lag: Phenomenal option for console and PC gaming.

Excellent Sharpness: Large periscope lens keeps focus tight even into the upper
