Epson's new projectors are now available with the best features for gaming

Announced in a press release, Epson's three new Q Series laser projectors may be the perfect partner for playing games on your PS5, Xbox Series X, or best gaming PC 4K HDR gaming at 120Hz, HDMI 21, these new projectors are very premium, starting at $7,999

These models utilize 3-chip 3LCD laser array technology for superior performance with a light source rated for up to 20,000 hours With a potential screen space of up to 300 inches, these Epson projectors offer enough coverage to meet most entertainment demands, standing tall even with some of the best projectors Epson offers, such as the EpicVision LS800

All of Epson's newest projectors will be unveiled at the CEDIA Expo, September 5 through September 7; the QB1000 will go on sale that month, and the QL3000 and QL7000 will be in stores in October

Projectors that do not support HDMI 21 are understandably not suitable for video games due to their extremely high input latency As evidence, the BenQ HT2060 only has an HDMI 20 port at 1080p resolution

But thanks to a new offering from Epson, that is all about to change: with the QL3000, QL7000, and QB1000, Epson is not only bringing sophisticated gaming features and built-in HDMI 21 support, but also HDR coverage and full 829 million pixel resolution HDR coverage and full 829 million pixel resolution, as well as premium performance

The QB1000 is a more affordable offering with a 15-element Epson flexible lens and up to 3,300 lumens of color and white brightness Prices start at $7,999, making it a considerable investment for those accustomed to less expensive projectors like the $3,000 Formovie Theater or the $1,400 Dangbei Mars Pro

And if you thought the QB1000 was pricey, the QL3000 and QL7000, which round out Epson's new Q Series projectors, are also in the higher price range, at $14,999 and $29,999 respectively Far exceeding the best 8K TVs, these prices include powerful features such as HDR10 compatibility and 4K 120Hz gaming

However, the QL3000 and QL7000 are listed as “body only” and require a compatible lens ranging from $450 to $3,500 With these lenses, the QL3000 provides up to 6,000 lumens of white and color brightness, while the QL7000 provides up to 10,000 lumens

The entire Q series runs on Epson's proprietary OZX picture processor and utilizes a 3-axis motorized lens shift with memory presets, giving the setup wide versatility You can choose the best 85-inch TV, but if you want real movie-quality performance, Epson's new Q Series projectors are definitely it

Despite their high cost, these expensive projectors may be the perfect foil to micro-LED TVs Both Samsung and LG are rethinking their MicroLED TV strategies The same may be true in the face of Epson's latest offering, as the staggering $100,000-plus price tag of such displays has failed to outweigh their potential as OLED killers

The QB1000 will be available this September, and the QL3000 and QL7000 in October
