Where It Sits in Epson’s 2025 Lineup
The QS100 launched as part of a broader turnaround year for Epson, which What Hi-Fi separately named 2025’s most improved projector brand. Alongside the QS100, Epson’s QB1000 and LS9000 also picked up 5-star reviews from major outlets — a sharp shift for a brand that had managed only one 5-star rating across nine reviewed models between 2021 and 2024.
Why UST Matters at This Price Point
At $4,999, the QS100 competes directly with UST offerings from Hisense, AWOL Vision, and XGIMI’s premium Aura line. UST projectors like this sit directly beneath the screen rather than requiring ceiling mounting or a long throw distance, making them appealing for buyers who want a large-screen home theater experience without a visible beam running through the room.
Who Should Buy It
Buyers who want Epson’s improved 2025-era image processing in a UST form factor, and who are comparing options in the $4,000–$5,000 premium UST bracket, should include the QS100 on their shortlist alongside Hisense and AWOL Vision’s competing models.
