Is the LS12000 true 4K?

No. It uses pixel shifting to reach 4K PRO-UHD, so it is not native 4K. Most viewers find it sharp, but native 4K projectors show finer detail.

How is it for gaming?

It has HDMI 2.1 inputs and supports 120 Hz, which suits consoles and PCs. Input lag is low enough for most casual gaming.

It is bright enough for some ambient light, but black levels are its weak point. A dark, light-controlled room gets the best contrast.

Epson rates the laser at 20,000 hours, so most households will never replace it. Brightness fades gradually over that life.

You get the projector, power cable and remote. It has no built-in streaming apps, so plan on a separate media player or receiver.

Yes, it supports an optional anamorphic lens for widescreen setups. You also get motorized lens memory for switching aspect ratios.
