The Epson LS800 is a massive projector, so its not easy to move around. It also lacks an integrated battery, so you must plug it into an outlet. The projector lacks auto keystone correction, so youll need to adjust the image manually whenever you set it up, and it also doesnt have autofocus. It has an integrated Yamaha 2.1 speaker system, so you wont need to worry about connecting it to a soundbar if you move it.The Epson LS800 projector uses a laser light source, which requires no maintenance and will last up to 20,000 hours, according to the manufacturer. You likely wont ever have to worry about replacing it. The projector uses pixel-shifting technology to project a sharper image than traditional 1080p projectors, but its not as sharp as true 4k projectors. Its also an Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector, so its capable of projecting a large image from a very short distance from the screen or wall, like an 80 image at a distance of 0.9, up to a 150 image at a distance of 9.9.
