PRESS RELEASE
Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide,1 today announced a new premium high-brightness laser projector lineup – the Q-Series 4K 3LCD Laser Projectors. As the demand for high-performing visual technology in multipurpose living spaces grows beyond traditional dark room spaces, the compact, precise and efficient Q-Series is designed to deliver vibrant, true-to-life images for ultimate immersive experiences in modern luxury homes. Incorporating Epson’s most advanced technologies to date, the Q-Series is the first 4K 3LCD laser projector lineup of its kind to accommodate a variety of viewing environments with color (IDMS-rated) and white brightness2 (ISO-rated) performance available at price points from $7,999 to $29,999. The QB1000 model delivers 3,300 lumens, while the QL3000 and QL7000 models offer up to 6,000 and 10,0003 lumens respectively, ensuring vibrant, true-to-life visuals.
“Our new lineup of ultra-premium, high-lumen Q-Series laser projectors showcases Epson’s commitment to producing superior entertainment solutions,” said Melvin Diaz, senior product manager, Epson America, Inc. “Breaking performance, efficiency, and size benchmarks, the Q-Series offers immersive big-screen entertainment within and beyond traditional dark room theater spaces, creating limitless integration possibilities for home entertainment design.”
Designed for custom integrators, architects and interior designers looking to create captivating big-screen entertainment in today’s great rooms, the QL3000 and QL7000 combine proprietary 4K Display Techology4 with HDR105 and true 3-chip 3LCD thermal-controlled and Double Micro-Lens Array technologies to produce a full 8.29 million pixels on screen up to 300 inches. When combined with the Epson QZX Picture Processor, the projectors optimize incredible brightness, color accuracy and black contrast to faithfully display content the way the director intended it to be seen. Certified for use with major smart home control systems, from Control4® and Creston®, a virtually maintenance-free 20,000-hour laser light source6, and the capability to support 4K HDR gaming at up to 120 Hz, the family of Q-Series projectors brings immersive home viewing experiences to new levels.
Catering to premium home theater enthusiasts, the QB1000 delivers a full 8.29 million pixels on screen with proprietary 4K Display Technology3 with HDR10+ and 3-chip 3LCD laser array technology to deliver the ultimate premium viewing experience. Equipped with UltraBlack™ technology, Epson QZX Picture Processor and Epson VRX Cinema lens, the QB1000 produces outstanding contrast, color accuracy and image clarity. For seamless installation, it includes a 3-axis motorized lens shift which facilitates ease of projector installation and setup, precisely shifting the lens without causing picture distortion or loss of clarity. Additionally, the QB1000 is epic for gaming, supporting content up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), along with input lag times below 20 ms, allowing serious gamers to take full advantage of the latest generation of gaming consoles and even higher-end gaming PCs.
Comprised of three high-performing models, the Q-Series includes the QB1000 4K HDR 3,300 Lumen 3LCD Laser Projector, QL3000 4K HDR High-Lumen 3LCD Projector, and QL7000 4K HDR High-Lumen 3LCD Projector. Unlike LCD walls that can be expensive, difficult to transport and require specialized installation, the Q-Series projectors can be easily integrated into virtually any room, at a fraction of the cost. The QL3000 and QL7000 come as “Body Only” – without a lens – as they are compatible with the entire family of Epson High Precision Lenses to design an optimal projection solution for nearly any application.
