We’re at CEDIA 2024 with John from Epson, checking out the brand new QL7000 projector. With powerful features designed for both residential and light commercial use, the QL7000 is making waves with its stunning brightness and versatility. Let’s dive into what makes this projector a game-changer.

Unmatched Brightness and Color Accuracy

The QL7000 brings 10,000 lumens of brightness, both in color and white, ensuring it cuts through ambient light with ease. This makes it perfect for larger screens, up to 180 inches, in multi-purpose spaces with varying lighting conditions. Epson’s advanced 3LCD technology powers the QL7000, delivering vibrant colors and a high-contrast, true 4K image without the need for color wheels.

Epson’s 3LCD Technology: Continuous Color and Smooth Imaging

At the core of Epson’s projectors is the three-chip LCD technology, a proprietary system ensuring smooth, continuous color. Unlike projectors with spinning color wheels, Epson’s 3LCD technology offers consistent color accuracy across the board. With 4K upscaling, Epson achieves true 4K resolution while prioritizing brightness, so you get a vivid and bright image without compromising on clarity.

The QL Series: Versatile Options for Any Space

The QL7000 is part of Epson’s newly introduced QL series, with models designed to suit various settings. We previously explored the QL3000 and QB1000 models, which bring their own strengths. The QL7000 is especially suited for game rooms, multi-purpose areas, and living rooms, where it can handle high ambient light and provide an immersive viewing experience.

Silent, Cool, and Perfect for Any Room

One standout feature of the QL7000 is its low noise level, rated at just 33 decibels at full power. This makes it ideal for quieter spaces, like bedrooms, where you won’t want fan noise disrupting your content. Additionally, the laser light source runs cool, which not only adds to the unit’s longevity but also enhances the user experience with minimal heat output.

New 32-Bit QZX Processor for Crisp, Clear Imaging

Epson has equipped the QL7000 with the QZX 32-bit processor, ensuring content is processed smoothly for clear, crisp images. This processor eliminates potential artifacts and provides a pristine picture, allowing you to enjoy 10-bit HDR, HDR10, and HLG with Dynamic Tone Mapping for optimal contrast and brightness in all scenes.

Connectivity, Gaming, and Input Lag

The QL7000 comes with HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 40 Gbps, making it compatible with the latest gaming consoles and media players. With an impressive 20-millisecond input lag, this projector provides a responsive experience that gamers will love. Imagine the immersive thrill of gaming on a 180-inch screen with smooth, vibrant visuals—this is a home theater experience like no other.

Premium All-Glass Lens Options for Crystal Clear Imaging

Epson’s QL series features high-quality, all-glass lenses designed for corner-to-corner clarity. Unlike hybrid or acrylic lenses, these glass lenses provide unmatched sharpness. The QL7000 also supports interchangeable lens options, including an ultra-short-throw ceiling mount option that gives you flexibility for any room setup.

Design, Power Requirements, and Ease of Installation

A key benefit of the QL7000 is its compact, aesthetically pleasing design. It’s made to blend into modern spaces, taking into account the “wife acceptance factor.” Unlike many projectors with similar brightness, it only requires a standard wall outlet—no need for special wiring or power upgrades.

Reliable Warranty and Customer Support

Epson’s QL7000 comes with a three-year advanced replacement warranty, which includes expedited support if needed. This means that if there’s an issue, Epson will send a replacement unit right away. Dreamedia has seen firsthand the reliability and quick support Epson provides, ensuring customers experience minimal downtime.
