Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800

NexiGo Aurora Pro

The NexiGo Aurora Pro and Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 have different use cases. The Epson is far brighter than the NexiGo; this makes the Epson more versatile when it comes to lighting conditions, as it can handle even moderately-lit rooms. The NexiGo, in turn, has noticeably deeper contrast, making for a more pleasant viewing experience in dark rooms. Out of the box, the Epson is far more accurate than the NexiGo, although you can calibrate them to a similar level. However, if you care about smart features, the Epson has the edge, as it has a fully-featured smart OS, while the NexiGo has a barebones Android TV implementation with no apps.
