Our Verdict
Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800
Samsung The Premiere LSP7T
The Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 is much better than the Samsung LSP7T. They're both Ultra Short Throw projectors, but you can place the Epson closer to the screen or wall than the Samsung. The Epson is much brighter, with better contrast than the Samsung. The Epson is also much more accurate out-of-the-box, although the Samsung has more calibration options, so it looks better than the Epson after some tweaking. The Samsung also has a wider color gamut, but it's not bright enough to really make colors pop.
