FULL STORY ======================================================================Epson has announced the LS9000, an entry-level model in its Pro Cinema projector lineup The LS9000 has a specified 2,200 lumens of white (ISO rated) and color (IDMS rated) brightness The LS9000 features dual HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz support for gaming

Epson today announced the Epson Pro Cinema LS9000 4K 3LCD Laser Projector.
The new lower-cost entry in the companys Pro Cinema projector lineup is
making its debut this week at the Audio Advice Live show, which takes place August 1-3, 2025, in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Priced at $3,999 (around 2,995 / AU$6,135), the Epson LS9000 provides a more affordable alternative to the Epson Pro Cinema LS12000 ($5,999), currently
the top pick in our best projectors guide. Like that model, the new LS9000 is a 4K 3LCD model with HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG support. It also uses a laser light source rated for 20,000 hours and has a motorized lens with powered zoom, focus, and +/- 96% vertical and up to +/- 24% horizontal lens shift.

With 2,200 lumens of white (ISO rated) and color (IDMS rated) brightness, the LS9000 isnt as powerful as the LS12000, which is rated for 2,700 lumens of white brightness. But like that model, it features 4K 120Hz support on its dual HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming (eARC and ARC are also supported).

Epsons ZX Picture Processor performs real-time frame interpolation and
picture enhancement on the LS9000, which also features a powered lens cover that slides into place when the projector is powered off. A memory zoom
option lets you use the projector with ultra-wide 2.35:1 screens, and it also supports third-party anamorphic lenses for use with the same. A cheaper Pro Series?

At CEDIA Expo 2024 , Epson debuted the Epson Q-Series , a trio of 4K laser projectors aimed at the high-end residential market. What distinguished these from other Epson projectors was the Q-Series high brightness specifications, starting at 3,300 lumens for the QB1000, with up to 10,000 lumens for the flagship Epson QL7000 .

Such high light output makes the Q-Series a perfect option for open-format media rooms or living rooms, where some degree of ambient lighting is preferred.

With 2,200 lumens of brightness, the new LS9000 is aimed more at traditional dark-room home theaters, where the projectors two-speed Dynamic Contrast adjustment will allow it to project crisp 4K movies with powerful contrast (Epsons contrast ratio specs cite over 2.5 million to one).

The LS9000s dual HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz support also make it a great option for gaming with next-gen consoles or PCs. And at $3,999, Epsons latest is a more reasonably priced gaming projector than other models in its lineup, and its also one that should capably do double duty for movies. You might
