Description
The Epson Lifestudio Grand Plus EH-LS970W is the Diamond White counterpart to the EH-LS970B, sharing Epson's flagship real-4K (8,294,400 pixel), 3-chip 3LCD ultra-short-throw engine. It delivers 4,000 lumens of colour and white light output with over 5,000,000:1 contrast, and its 0.16-0.40:1 throw ratio allows images up to 150 inches from just 0.3-0.5 metres off the wall.
A 20W 2.1-channel Sound by Bose system with Dolby Audio supplies integrated cinema sound, and Google TV with Google Assistant gives voice-controlled access to streaming content. AIPQ and AISR image enhancement improve detail and upscaling, and a dedicated game mode with Auto Low Latency Mode and Arc Correction support gaming and curved-screen setups.
The laser light source is rated for 20,000 hours, and the EH-LS970W is backed by Epson's 5-year (60 month) carry-in warranty and 7 years of security updates from purchase.
