Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300

XGIMI HORIZON Ultra

The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra and Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300 are very similar projectors. The Epson is the most accurate projector of the two and has Ultra Short Throw capability for smaller rooms. Still, the XGIMI is a 4k projector (with pixel shift), so it projects a sharper image. The XGIMI is smaller, lighter, and has full auto keystone correction with object avoidance and autofocus, so it's easier to set up than the Epson.
