Epson has broadened its home theater projector lineup with three new 4K laser models—the $2,000 LS5000, $2,200 LS6000, and short-throw LS7500—rather than replacing its 2022 flagship LS11000. The LS11000 stays in the range but now retails for $4,500, up from its previous $4,000 price. All the new models share features like Bluetooth headphone support and manual lens shift, though only the LS11000 offers motorized lens shift.
