Triple-laser color and Dolby Vision against 4,000 lumens of 3LCD brightness for ultra short throw home theater.
Updated 2026
Verdict
Buy the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 if your room has ambient light: it is rated at 4,000 lumens of both color and white brightness with 3-chip 3LCD. Buy the Hisense PX3-PRO if you watch in a dim or dark room and want a triple-laser color gamut, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced support.

You use the projector in a living room or any space with windows, and want the highest brightness for color and white so the picture holds up in daylight.
You need a perfect black level in a fully dark room. A dedicated long-throw projector or an OLED TV gets closer. Skip these also if you cannot place a UST projector within inches of a wall.
The Epson LS800 is rated at 4,000 lumens of color and white brightness. The Hisense PX3-PRO is listed at 3,000 lumens.
Ultra short throw projectors work best with an ambient light rejecting (ALR) UST screen, especially in rooms with light. A plain white wall will show texture and be less contrasty.
Yes. The Hisense runs Google TV and the Epson runs Android TV, so both include streaming apps.
Both are ultra short throw, so they sit a few inches from the wall. Follow each maker throw-ratio chart for the exact distance for your screen size.
