Loved it, but purchase with caution
Loved it, the picture quality was great, it was amazing for playing games at up to 4K 120hz. Movies were also great but manually adjusting the HDR slider and lack of dynamic tone mapping seemed to be a missing feature for the price. so now for the bad stuff: less than 6 months of use and 600 hours at 75% brightness, I got a small block of dead blue pixels in the central viewing area and a portion of the screen yellowed in a vertical column on the left side. Epson has a good warranty, IF you are willing to accept a $5000 refurbished unit after less than six months on your new one. On forums people who receive a replacement often have more dead pixels or a very noisy fan or pixel shift unit. If I knew I would be getting a refurbished unit for my 5000 dollars, I would have never purchased. Epson's customer service has been horrible. 1 hour wait, to speak to someone, the representative "Alvin" was disinterested in helping and after 1.5 hours on we escalated to his manager, who refused to honor their warranty due to best buys receipt not being the original date. Best buy has been great, they gave me a loaner ls11000 while I waited 4 months for this prized projector. I have total tech protection on it, so maybe Best buy can cover it with a new unit. But unless $5K means less to you than it does me, I would consider a different brand. A expensive projector should not fail this early in its life, and that failure should not stick you with a refurbish one.

Excellent price to performance level.
Excellent future-proof feature set. For the price, it’s difficult to say anything compares. Very solid black levels (the excellent contrast level helps in this regard), great colors, sharpness and light output work well in my less than ideal viewing room. Don’t worry so much about the lack of dynamic tone-mapping. I found a setting that works for 95% of content including video games. Five stars based on price/performance.

Exceptional performance and durability
I have been using the Epson LS12000 laser projector for over a year now with a 142" cinemascope screen and I am absolutely blown away by its performance. If you are looking for a high-quality projector that delivers stunning images and amazing features, you should consider the Epson LS12000 laser projector. This projector uses laser light source technology to produce bright, vivid and lifelike colors that will enhance your viewing experience. The Epson LS12000 also has a 4K enhancement feature that upscales Full HD content to 4K resolution, making every detail sharper and clearer. The projector also supports HDR10 and HLG formats, which offer a wider range of contrast and brightness for more realistic scenes. The Epson LS12000 is easy to set up and operate, thanks to its motorized lens shift, zoom and focus, and its wireless HDMI transmitter that eliminates the need for cables. The Epson LS12000 is a great choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a cinematic experience at home or loves playing games on a big screen.

Epson is affordable home theater!
Great color. Upgraded from Epson ub5040 and no problems with transitions from bright to dark scenes like on the ub5040 auto iris.very quiet operation light output @75 in light controlled room. Clarity is stunning. No bulb to change or vary output over time. If going for perfection @ this price point get an isf certified tech to set up color gamut and grayscale in your home theater. Would buy again. Fortunately 20.000 hour lifespan on laser means I won't have to for years to come.

Best Value For High End Home Theater Projector
I purchased this PJ back in April 2022, and received it in September 2022. Ten months later, I am still loving the picture! For the price, this projector is tough to beat. The contrast levels are about the same as the previous Epson 5040 and 5050, but that is not a bad thing. Don't let others mislead you on the whole "it's not really 4k". It may not be a native 4k panel, but the projector does bring you a full 4k image (all addressable pixels) via shifting. The advantages to having laser as opposed to lamps are evident right out of the box. The color fidelity is purer as there is no bias from a traditional lamp. The projector also runs a bit quieter and cooler then the previous lamp based model. This projector is VERY bright. You could pair it with a grey screen or an ALR screen, and you would still have a great image that is watchable with light in the room! (see attached pics) I have been a projector enthusiast since 2005, and this is my sixth projector setup. By and far this is THE BEST image I have seen in this price range. Lastly, Epson's warranty simply cannot be beat. Five weeks into ownership, my LS12000 started to make a buzzing sound (lens shift mechanism), I called up Epson, and within 32 hours they had the replacement unit on my doorstep. The replacement unit has had ZERO issues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Simply an amazing projector
I upgraded from an Epson 5040UB that I had for years and loved. This LS12000 blows my previous projector out of the water. I will go over a few of the things that are really great. Really, really quiet. When watching shows, I don't ever hear the fan. The colors are just stunning. The reds and blues especially just pop. The overall picture is just incredible. The whites and blacks are amazing. Easy to set up. Starts really fast Overall, I could not be happier. This laser projector should last many, many years.

Pretty perfect
Amazing picture and features. The zoom and focus controls make configuration super simple. Wish the remote worked without direct line-of-sight but with cec it doesnt matter much. I was a little hesitant to buy this since best buy requires you buy in person for some weird reason and the 15% restocking fee is scary. However, I’m glad I went through with it and have no regrets.
