As home entertainment shifts toward more immersive, cinematic experiences, many consumers are moving away from bulky, power-hungry televisions that dominate wall space and can be difficult to incorporate into modern interiors. Addressing this demand, Epson has expanded its Lifestudio range with the introduction of the Lifestudio Grand Plus Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector (priced at $3,799.99). Available in both black and white finishes, the device is designed to blend seamlessly with a variety of home décor styles. This all-in-one system delivers a 4K HDR image of up to 150 inches from just a short distance, features an integrated audio setup powered by Sound by Bose, and is among the first projectors to incorporate Google TV with Gemini.

According to Melvin Diaz, senior product manager for home entertainment at Epson America, home viewing is no longer defined solely by screen size but by how well technology enhances everyday living and connection. He emphasized that the Lifestudio Grand Plus is engineered to provide a cinematic experience that integrates smoothly into different room layouts, even those with challenging dimensions, allowing users to elevate everyday moments.

Powered by Epson’s 4K display technology, the projector renders 8.29 million pixels with HDR10 color support, ensuring high levels of brightness, contrast, and detail. Its ultra short throw laser design enables placement just inches from the wall while still producing images up to 150 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of room sizes. Combined with Epson’s 3-chip 3LCD system, it achieves 4,000 lumens of both color and white brightness, delivering vivid visuals even in brightly lit environments.

The integration of Google TV with Gemini introduces a more interactive and personalized viewing experience. Gemini functions as a conversational assistant that adapts to user preferences, offering tailored content recommendations across thousands of apps and live channels. It supports natural, back-and-forth interactions—whether users are searching for entertainment, planning activities, or working through complex questions. Beyond streaming, Gemini can provide sports updates, generate informative slideshows, and offer learning support with integrated YouTube content.

For audio, the built-in Sound by Bose 2.1 system produces rich, balanced sound with strong bass, enhancing movies, games, and live broadcasts without requiring additional speakers. The Epson Projection Studio app, available on iOS and Android, adds a social and creative dimension by allowing users to create and share customized content on the big screen. Friends and family can contribute remotely via secure links or QR codes, while the app also enables easy control of projector settings such as navigation, volume, and playback.

Additional features include ultra short throw placement for large-scale viewing, advanced brightness and color performance, multiple HDMI ports with support for high frame rates up to 4K at 120Hz, and simplified setup through a dedicated mobile app. Optional SilverFlex® ALR screens, available in 100- and 120-inch sizes, help reduce ambient light interference to improve picture quality. Epson also backs the product with a two-year limited warranty, lifetime technical support, and a fast replacement service.

Epson’s use of 3-chip 3LCD technology ensures equal levels of white and color brightness, unlike single-chip projectors. This balanced performance is measured using internationally recognized standards—ISO 21118 for white brightness and IDMS 15.4 for color brightness—making it easier for consumers to accurately compare projector performance across different models.

Yaber, an internationally recognized home technology brand, has announced its entry into the smart cleaning market. This move is part of the company’s broader strategy to grow its multi-category portfolio under a cohesive brand structure, which already includes its well-established entertainment segment, Yaber Projector, alongside its newly launched home appliance division, Yaber Home.

The company plans to introduce its first smart cleaning products under Yaber Home in the first quarter of 2026, featuring two cordless vacuum models. This launch marks a significant step in Yaber’s efforts to expand beyond home entertainment into diverse smart home solutions.

The upcoming lineup will feature the L10 Entry-Level Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner and the P20 High-Value Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. Each model is strategically positioned to cater to a variety of household cleaning needs—from quick, lightweight daily cleaning to frequent, family-focused use—highlighting Yaber’s move into practical, everyday home applications.

Yaber explains that the L10 focuses on portability and ease of use, ideal for first-time cordless vacuum users or those seeking a simple and dependable cleaning solution. The P20, on the other hand, offers a balance of performance, battery life, and functionality, appealing to families who value both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Together, these products form the cornerstone of Yaber Home’s smart cleaning range.

Since its inception, Yaber has earned a strong global reputation through Yaber Projector, providing affordable and reliable entertainment projectors to users in over 120 countries and regions. Leveraging its experience in product design, technology integration, and user-focused development, Yaber is now extending its expertise into high-demand home appliances via Yaber Home, emphasizing practical innovation and everyday usability.
