Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800

XGIMI HORIZON Ultra

The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 is slightly better than the XGIMI HORIZON Ultra. The Epson is slightly brighter and has better contrast, although the XGIMI is somewhat more accurate. However, the Epson is an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector, so you can place it much closer to the screen or wall than the XGIMI, making the Epson the more versatile unit regarding room positioning.
