Epson has officially launched the Lifestudio Grand Plus EH-LS970B, its latest all-in-home home entertainment solution.

This new offering combines large-scale 4K projection, AI-powered image processing, and integrated Sound by Bose speakers.

It is designed for consumers seeking a bigger, more immersive viewing experience without compromising their living spaces.

The EH-LS970B can project 4K (8.3 million pixels) content from 80 to 150 inches while positioned just inches from the wall.

Its ultra-short-throw design (0.16 ratio) removes the need to mount a large display or position a conventional projector across the room, giving homeowners greater flexibility in how they use their space.

It has a 3LCD laser projection system for up to 4,000 lumens of color and white brightness, as well as a contrast ratio of more than 5,000,000:1.

In addition, the projector features upgrades across image processing and audio while retaining a compact, all-in-one approach to home entertainment.

At the heart of Epson’s EH-LS970B is a new AI-powered TV chip that analyses content in real time. This automatically optimizes the image for each scene.

AI Super Resolution enhances sharpness and fine details, while AI Picture Quality automatically adjusts the image based on what is being displayed.

Features like Dynamic Colour Booster, Local Contrast and De-contour Processing further optimize color, contrast, and gradients as well.

The visual quality is complemented by an integrated 20W 2.1 channel Sound by Bose speaker system.

This delivers room-filling audio with deep bass, without requiring a separate speaker setup. Bluetooth mode also allows the projector to function simply as an audio system when the display isn’t in use.

The projector comes with Google TV built-in and supports Google Cast and voice control.
