Epson's new Q Series laser projectors break brightness boundaries – should Sony and JVC be worried?

Epson has unveiled its new range of high-end laser projectors, and it's making some bold claims about the performance of these new beamers. These pricey projectors are set to take on high-end competitors such as the Award-winning Sony VPL-XW7000ES and the recently reviewed JVC DLA-NZ800. 

The three-strong new lineup, consisting of the QB1000, QL3000 and QL7000, leverages Epson's 4K 3LCD chipset with support for HDR10 and HLG – interestingly the cheapest model of the range (the QB1000) is the only model of the trio to support HDR10+. All three models feature dual HDMI 2.1 sockets with a slightly lower 40Gbps bandwidth than the 48Gbps we're used to; however, they still support 4K/120Hz gaming with a claimed sub-20ms response time, which should appeal to serious gamers.
