Theater. Redefined. Epson Pro Cinema Projectors have one goal – to faithfully reproduce the source material the way the artist intended. This single thought is what guided our Engineering Teams to develop a next-generation home theater projector. And what they came up with, could possibly be our best Pro Cinema Projector ever. Introducing the Epson Pro Cinema LS12000 4K PRO-UHD1 3-Chip 3LCD Laser Projector. Utilizing an all-new Laser Array Light Source, the Pro Cinema LS12000 is capable of displaying a 4K picture on screen up to an astonishing 2,700 lumens for both color and white brightness2. And, when driven by a proprietary Epson ZX Picture Processor for powerful picture processing, the Pro Cinema LS12000 produces incredible brightness, color accuracy, and image detail to faithfully display all your content the way it was meant to be seen.

Great Picture
The picture is stunning for the price and is the best one on market for price.

Great projector!
You get alot of bang for the buck with this projector. The picture quality and options you get with this would cost thousands more with a sony projector.

Excellent Picture Quality
Excellent Picture Quality. White screen. This projector has some of the best color contrast available for a projector under $15k.

Definitely worth the money
This thing is amazing. The picture quality can’t be beat. I’m sure there are features on this I will never use, but it doesn’t matter because of the viewing experience. I like that there is an automatic lens cap that opens when it powers up and closes when it powers down. The startup time is the best I have had on a projector. I haven’t tried to use this in a fully-lit room, but when I dim the lights a bit, it is just perfect. Watching movies feels like you are in a theater. Watching sporting events is like you are in the stadium. Looking forward to many more years of this pristine viewing experience.

Amazing projector at a great price.
I bought this as part of a media room package and I can honestly say that this is an amazing projector. Watching movies at home feels like I am at the movies now.

Holly Lasers!
New LS12000 has been installed for 1 week now in my dedicated (small) theater room. I've always loved the projector experience that we had with our previous projectors (Older Epson's, and one Mitsubishi). However, this is a significant leap in performance. Previous models, especially when the bulb got past 1000 hrs., would become notably dimmer, cause the room temp to go up several degrees (this happened no matter the hour count on the bulb), and the fans would be loud enough to be a distraction. The Epson LS12000 has an absolutely bright/stunning picture! Fan noise is not detectable, and the unit runs much cooler than previous models with the standard bulb. We have been watching content mainly on the Apple TV and a little on a UHD Blu-ray player. Source material on both look fantastic. Strongly recommend turning Frame interpolation to "Low" or "Off". The soap-opera effect is a little too smooth out of the box. Pros: - Cost to performance ratio - Excellent Form-factor - Top-quality Chief mount in the box - Picture Quality (out of the box is great) - Flexible installation (lens shift on this unit is no joke) - Laser light engine (runs cool / quiet / no bulb to replace) - 3 year Epson warranty Cons: - No 3D support (not a problem for me but will be for some) - Chief mounting pole provided is 6" and might require an additional purchase for some installations. Images taken are with iPhone 12 Pro Max. Content is YouTube. Equipment at the time of review are; Epson LS12000 projector w/ provided mount, SI Screen Black Diamond 1.4 113", Marantz SR6011 (will not pass 120Hz. Needs an upgrade), Apple TV 4K 32G, Xbox ONE X, Oppo Blu-ray, PS4, Roku Ultra... PS. Still have some drywall repair to do after projector swap. :)

Excellent Projector for Movies, Gaming, Sports!
The picture clarity and brightness of this projector is astonishing, supported by its excellent black levels from a projector of this cost. The input response also allows for an excellent gaming experience, and I go back and forth between using my living room LG OLED with near instantaneous response, so this projector is perfectly usable for gaming. Highly recommend!

Stunning 4K!!
Please don’t be disheartened by the pixel shifted 4K - this beast displays a stunning 4K image on screen - all 8.3 million pixels (at least thats what it seems - I didn’t count the pixels) - I’m sure the JVCs produce a better picture but how much better can it be - and especially at this price point - the eARC, the HDMI 2.1 ports, the bright 2700 lumen laser, the inky blacks and.. get this.. 20 ms input lag - at $5K - it’s a steal! My wife and I watched Top Gun Maverick on this beauty and it was a breathtaking experience - I connected it to a Sonos Arc, 2 Subs, 2 Five’s - Good lord it was immersive as hell. This is a must have if you are seriously into films - every moment with it has been a treat!
