Our Verdict
Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300
Formovie THEATER
The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300 is a bit better than the Formovie THEATER. The Epson is much brighter and has far superior color accuracy. Still, the Formovie does project a sharper image than the Epson due to its pixel-shifting 4k technology, while the Epson is limited to 1080p. The Formovie also has much better contrast and a wider color gamut, so it looks much better in dark rooms than the Epson.
