Press Release

As demand grows for larger and more immersive entertainment experiences at home, consumers are looking beyond oversized, wall-dominating displays that can be heavy, power-intensive and difficult to integrate into a room’s design. Today, Epson announced the expansion of its Lifestudio™ lineup with the new Lifestudio Grand Plus Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector (MSRP $3,799.99) – available in black and white to blend into various home décor. As an all-in-one solution, the Lifestudio Grand Plus delivers a stunning 4K HDR picture up to 150-inches from just inches away, an integrated audio system featuring Sound by Bose technology and elevated viewing experiences as one of the first projectors to integrate Google TV™1 with Gemini2.

Leveraging Epson’s 4K Display Technology3, the Lifestudio Grand Plus projects 8.29 million pixels on-screen with HDR104 color, delivering exceptional brightness, contrast and detail.

Epson 3-Chip Projectors Deliver Equal White Brightness and Color Brightness Unlike 1-Chip Projectors

Every Epson projector uses 3-chips with 3LCD Technology to deliver equal White Brightness and Color Brightness, resulting in balanced Brightness to help accommodate a range of viewing settings. All Epson projectors specify White Brightness (measured in accordance with ISO 21118) and Color Brightness (measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4) to make it easier to compare projectors. The White Brightness standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 21118), and the Color Brightness standard is published by the International Committee for Display Metrology in the Information Display Measurement Standards (IDMS 15.4). The U.S. member body for ISO – ANSI (American National Standards Institute) has adopted ISO 21118, reinforcing ISO 21118 as the industry standard for White Brightness, not ANSI. When these standards are followed, there is zero ambiguity regarding how projector brightness is properly measured, advertised and compared.
