Epson Introduces Lifestudio Portable Projectors With Four New Models, Now Available In Malaysia

Epson announced the launch of its Lifestudio series portable projectors in Southeast Asia markets, including Malaysia; the lineup includes Lifestudio Pop (EF-61G), Lifestuio Pop Plus (EF-62N), Lifestudio Flex (EF-71), and Lifestudio Flex Plus (EF-72). All models are now available in Epson’s online stores and select retailers.

Epson Lifestudio Projector Series

Here’s what the model names imply: the Pop models mainly focus on portability (at just 1.6kg), while the Flex line comes with a small stand that allows for adjusting projection angles easily. Those with ‘Plus’ suffix are 4K-capable via XPR pixel shifting technique which shifts the DMD chip ever so slightly at a much faster frequency to produce what your eyes will perceive as a 4K display. All models feature 1.20 throw ratio with up to 3.33x digital zoom, capable of projecting up to 150 inches.

Some of the key features all four models share include Google TV support, real-time automatic keystone, wall color compensation, screen fit, obstacle avoidance, and eye protection (which detects persons walking into the beam’s line-of-sight and temporarily disables the lamp). For their hardware, there’s 3LCD “Triple Core Engine” projection technology with three separate color LEDs said to boost colors and avoid the “rainbow effect” found in single-chip DLP projectors. In all but one models (EF-72), they can output 700 lumens at the projection surface, while the EF-72 can hit 1000 lumens.

Epson reps are also keen to point out that despite their low figures (where you may hear numbers well into 4 or 5 digits for other projectors on the market), this is measured at the surface – unlike most others that are measured at the source, which don’t accurately reflect the amount of light that eventually hits your eyeballs. Epson claimed that its projectors can match and exceed the effective brightness against projectors with advertised 12,000 lumens of lamp brightness.

Another feature shared across the lineup is Bose-tuned sound system that involves dual 5W speakers with dual passive radiator to deliver extra bass frequencies. It’s well-tuned (no custom EQ, unfortunately) and loud enough to fill a small room, but for bigger rooms or outdoor use, you’ll likely need to bring your own. Still, they come with a bonus feature where you can use the projector’s speakers like a regular Bluetooth speaker as well.

The Lifestudio Flex line also comes with an optional meter-tall floor stand that allows the projector to stand independently of furniture (with an integrated remote control dock), while keeping the same articulation capabilities as the stand that they came with. In the case of the Plus (EF-72), it’s got a two extra tricks: ambient lighting, and USB-C power delivery support (100W or 140W), though this is strictly for powering the projector with a separate power bank, with no other functions included in this port. Epson says a 24,000mAh unit can supply up to 70 minutes of projection.
