# Widescreen HD Projectors The Epson LS100 is an Ultra-Short-Throw Projector with a 130-Inch Display By Joey Haar | Published 2017-12-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-ls100 References: [cnet](https://www.cnet.com/products/epson-ls100/preview/) & [epson.eu](https://www.epson.eu/products/projectors/home-cinema/eh-ls100) The Epson LS100 is a new projector that offers clear benefits over the traditional flat panel television display. As opposed to the set dimensions inherent in a television, the LS100's display is variable, and it can extend up to 130 inches — nearly 11 feet diagonally — while still offering pristine Full HD. Not only is the Epson LS100 a far more affordable option when compared to flat panel monitors of a similar size, but it's also far more convenient than the standard projector. It's an ultra-short-throw, or UST, projector, meaning that it can cast an even and gigantic display on a wall while being placed only inches away from it. That placement allows consumers to freely walk through the room without worrying about casting shadows that obscure the image on screen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Variable Screen Size:** The trend of variable screen sizes allows for flexible and immersive viewing experiences. - **Ultra-short-throw Projectors:** Ultra-short-throw projectors offer convenience and freedom of movement without compromising on image quality. - **Affordable Large Displays:** Affordable large displays provide an alternative to expensive flat panel monitors for business and entertainment purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can leverage variable screen sizes and ultra-short-throw projectors to create innovative products. - **Home Theater:** The home theater industry can benefit from the trend of affordable large displays to enhance the cinematic experience. - **Corporate Presentations:** The corporate presentations industry can utilize ultra-short-throw projectors for more impactful and interactive presentations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra Short-Throw Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-shortthrow-4k-projector.md) - [Hyper-Short-Throw Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shortthrow-4k-projector.md) - [Motorized Lens Home Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-pro-cinema-ls9000.md) - [Precision Laser-Powered Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-pro-cinema-ls12000.md) - [Crystal-Clear 4K Laser Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalclear-4k-laser-projector.md) - [Pro-Grade Short-Throw Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-ehq-series.md) - [Premium Short-Throw Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinebeam-hu915qe.md) - [4K Ultra-Short Throw Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-screeneo-u5.md) - [Crystal-Clear 4K Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-shortthrow-projector.md)
