Combining sleek design with cutting-edge technology, Epson’s new line-up of portable smart projectors signals a new era in immersive entertainment
There was a time when bringing the big screen home meant having to compromise. Projectors were heavy, cumbersome machines that hummed loudly in the background, threw washed-out images onto makeshift screens and required constant troubleshooting. They were built for boardrooms and classrooms, not living rooms – functional (if you were lucky), but certainly not beautiful.
Fast forward to today, and Epson has rewritten that story. With the launch of its new Lifestudio Pop and Flex Google TV projectors, the world leader in projection technology has distilled decades of expertise into devices that are not only powerful, but also portable, stylish and crafted for modern living. These aren’t the clunky machines of the past, but elegant lifestyle companions designed to slip seamlessly into the rhythms of daily life – whether that’s movie night under the stars, a thrilling gaming session with friends or a morning yoga class.
This launch marks Epson’s first foray into game-changing RGB-LED 3LCD technology. The result is imagery that’s up to three-times brighter than comparable projectors, meaning cinema-quality visuals that remain sharp, vivid and true-to-life, whether you’re watching a blockbuster in 4K PRO-UHD or streaming a fitness class in Full HD. For gamers, ALLM gaming mode ensures smoother, faster play – perfect for those nail-biting battles.
Visual brilliance is matched by equally refined audio. Each projector features Sound by Bose, enhanced with Dolby Audio and Bluetooth connectivity for a rich, room-filling experience that negates the need for external speakers. Then there’s the built-in Google TV platform, giving you access to over 400,000 movies, shows and apps, all curated by personal profiles and powered by Google Assistant. With a simple voice command or a tap on your phone, you can cast, stream or discover something new.
The Lifestudio projectors were conceived not just as tools, but as objects of design. The Lifestudio Flex series (EF-71 and EF-72) is as versatile as it is handsome. The flagship EF-72 comes in a premium oak finish with ambient LED lighting, meaning it doubles as both a projector and a mood-setter, changing colour to reflect the vibe you want to create. Meanwhile, the Lifestudio Pop series is available in a range of sleek colours and finishes, enabling you to personalise your space according to your taste.
What truly distinguishes the Lifestudio range is its portability and adaptability. These devices are compact and effortlessly movable, transforming any setting into a theatre. With the Flex’s tilt-and-swivel stand, the garden becomes an instant open-air cinema, a bedroom ceiling morphs into a lazy-Sunday movie screen and the kitchen comes alive with cooking videos. Accessories such as Epson’s adjustable floor stand and wireless karaoke microphone only expand the possibilities, allowing you to stage everything from family sing-alongs to stylish soirées.
In essence, the Lifestudio projectors are designed to integrate seamlessly into modern lifestyles. They are at once practical and aspirational, equally suited to the tech-savvy professional who values clean, stylish interiors and the family seeking a simple way to enjoy entertainment together. As Kiran Sanghera, manager of product management at Epson Europe, explains, “Our mission is to show everyone the magic of using Epson projectors at home and in outdoor spaces, and what great experiences can be achieved by anyone really easily in their own home. The projectors are designed to blend into your lifestyle”. No longer confined to the boardroom or classroom, the big screen has finally found its place in the everyday moments that matter most.
