hi everybody this is the Epson LS 10000 home theater projector it costs a mint although not quite $10,000 and delivers some of the best image quality we've ever seen and like all of its kind can fill screens bigger than any TV but the real story here is told with lasers unlike most projectors on the market which have replaceable lamps that cost 250 to 500 bucks each and need to be replaced every few thousand hours the LS 10000 has lasers inside this bulbous heavy cabinet is a pair of blue lasers one provides the red light and one is split by yellow phosphor to create the red and green light another advantage over lamp based projectors is a quick turn on time this projector reaches peak brightness in about 30 seconds while lamp based projectors take about three times as long in terms of non laser features the LS 10000 is very well equipped its input array offers more analog connections than competitors and one of its HDMI inputs has hdcp 2.2 compatibility for 4k sources it comes with a pair of 3d glasses has a motorized lens covered its extensive menus offer you tiles of setup options and tweaks including provisions and memories for ultra wide screens I compared the LS 10000 to a couple of top competitors from Sony and JVC and its picture more than held its own contrast was great thanks to exceedingly deep black levels although not quite as deep as on the JBC colors are accurate and video processing options including a feature that tried to approximate 4k resolution were also solid no it doesn't deliver quite the same level of detail with 4k sources as Sony's native 4k projector but sharpness was still superb between these three I still like the high contrast JVC best especially since it cost the least but the laser powered Epson is a beast in its own right that's a look at the Epson LS 10000 laser projector I'm David Katz my resina
