Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800

Samsung The Premiere LPU7D

The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 is better than the Samsung The Premiere LPU7D. The Samsung does have a slightly wider color gamut, but it doesn't matter, as it's just not bright enough to make colors pop. The Epson, however, is one of the brightest projectors we've tested, and while its contrast is only decent, it's still better than the Samsung's. The Epson is also much more accurate, and while they're both ultra-short throw projectors, the Epson can be placed even closer to the wall than the Samsung can.
