TL;DR
- Epson’s new Lifestudio lineup blends 3LCD projection, Bose audio, and built-in Google TV.
- Models range from the portable Pop ($679.99) to the Lifestudio Grand UST ($2,499.99) with 120-inch 4K PRO-UHD HDR10 projection.
- All projectors are available now with a two-year warranty, and accessories like stands and a karaoke mic are available to add on.
Epson’s new Lifestudio line of portable projectors makes a compelling pitch. The series blends Epson’s latest 3LCD projection tech with sound co-engineered by Bose and built-in Google TV, so you can stream your favorite shows or host a movie night without juggling extra gear. All models also come with Epson’s EpiqSense 2.0 auto-setup, which snaps focus, color, and alignment into place in seconds for seamless setup.
The lineup splits into two camps: convenience-focused lifestyle options and cinema-grade builds. The models range from the portable but powerful Pop projector ($679.99) to the Lifestudio Grand Ultra Short Throw ($2,499.99). Under the hood of each one, Epson’s new 3-chip 3LCD Triple Core Engine works to deliver brighter, more vivid color than single-chip rivals, and without the distracting rainbow effect.
Another major differentiator is the new audio. Each Lifestudio projector features a custom Bose system with four modes (Cinema, Dialogue, Music, Standard) to deliver room-filling sound. The models are the first Epson projectors to feature Bose sound systems built in, offering a convenient all-in-one viewing experience.
Additionally, the devices feature built-in Google TV so users can easily stream, cast, and control content from their smartphones straight out of the box. By baking in Bose sound, Google TV, and auto-setup tech, Epson trims the friction that can sometimes come with setting up a projector. The Pop and Flex models cover casual, portable use, while the Grand turns any living room into a proper theater.
The full lineup is as follows:
- Lifestudio Pop ($679.99): The entry-level model features Full HD, 700 lumens, and a lightweight, portable build for casual streaming.
- Lifestudio Pop Plus ($799.99): The Pop Plus steps up to 4K PRO-UHD (via pixel-shifting) with smoother gaming thanks to Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM).
- Lifestudio Flex ($849.99): The Flex features Full HD, a tiltable stand, and built-in ambient lighting.
- Lifestudio Flex Plus ($999.99): The Plus model offers 4K PRO-UHD, 1,000 lumens for brighter environments, and ALLM for gaming.
- Lifestudio Grand ($2,499.99): The showstopper, this ultra-short throw model can splash a 120-inch 4K PRO-UHD HDR10 image from close range. With 3,600 lumens of both white and color brightness, it’s bright enough to hold its own day or night.
