  • Epson has announced five new Lifestudio projectors
  • The budget-priced lineup includes four portables and one ultra short throw
  • All models feature Google TV for streaming and Sound by Bose built-in speakers

Epson has been busy lately working on a refresh of its portable projector lineup. That effort has yielded five new Lifestudio models, ranging from a compact 4K ultra short throw to a $679 Full HD projector.

The big news here is Epson’s collaboration with speaker and headphones maker Bose to create the first projectors with Sound by Bose. Along with making the new projectors an all-in-one theater-at-home solution, they will have four 'tuned with Sound by Bose' modes – Cinema, Dialogue, Music, and Standard – to adapt the sound output for a range of content.

Each new projector in the Lifestudio lineup features Google TV, a smart TV platform that's increasingly being added to the best projectors, built in for streaming.

Another first that comes with the Lifestudio lineup is that the Epson Projection Studio app is available for Android and iOS devices. This will let viewers control projector functions, such as adjusting settings and volume, and will let multiple users easily contribute to slideshows for parties and other events.

The setup of each Lifestudio projector is made easy with EpiqSense 2.0 auto-setup, which automatically adjusts focus and image alignment, along with color balance when projecting on surfaces other than a white screen or wall.

Lifestudio Grand Ultra Short Throw projector

The crown jewel of Epson’s Lifestudio lineup is the Lifestudio Grand Ultra Short Throw projector ($2,499.99). This 4K model delivers powerful brightness for the price, with a rated 3,600 lumens of white and color brightness.

The Lifestudio Grand can project a 120-inch picture from a 15.2-inch distance from the wall, and features HDR10 support and 120Hz gaming at 1080p resolution.
