Epson has unveiled a slew of new projectors, including the firm's first "super ultra short throw" model.

The flagship EpiqVision Ultra EH-LS800, which promises 4K PRO-UHD resolution, can throw out an 80-inch image when placed just 2.3cm from a wall. Users can produce a 100-inch picture from 9.8cm away, or a 150-inch image from 28.5cm. Impressive.

Epson says the laser-powered LS800 should appeal to movie buffs, streamers and gamers alike. Key specs include a peak brightness of 4000 lumens, a contrast ratio of 2,500,000:1 and a new dedicated gaming port with a claimed input lag of less than 20ms.

Not desperate for your projector to get up-close-and-personal with your wall? You might want to consider the new EH-TW6150 and EH-TW6250, which are Epson's latest entry-level 4K PRO-UHD projectors.
