Our Verdict

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800

XGIMI AURA 2

The XGIMI AURA 2 is better than the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800, although the Epson is significantly brighter than the already bright XGIMI. However, the XGIMI has better contrast, is more accurate out of the box, and has a wider color gamut. It also supports Dolby Vision and is IMAX Enhanced certified, while the Epson is limited to HDR10.
