Back in May we covered the China-only release of a lifestyle projector merged with a mood lamp. Now that idea has morphed into the brightest member of Epson's new Lifestudio mini projector family for US release, which also includes a 4K Pop model. And this Lifestudio model is the brightest of the Flex/Pop bunch, putting out 1,000 color (IDMS) and white (ISO) lumens. The Pop Plus costs $799.99, but making do with 1080p picture quality could shave more a hundred bucks off that ticket price if you opt for the standard Pop model. All of the Lifestudio projectors, including the Grand UST model we featured earlier in the week, are available now.
