The L890E's body and lens at lower brightness: 6,500 lumens (ISO 21118, the same for color), a 3LCD WUXGA panel with 4K Enhancement (pixel shift to about 4.6 million pixels, not native 4K), a 1.6x manual zoom (1.35–2.20 throw), wide manual lens shift (±50% vertical, ±20% horizontal) and a laser rated 20,000 hours in normal mode and 30,000 in Extended mode. Epson lists curved-surface geometry correction. A 100-inch 16:10 image needs about 9.6 to 15.5 ft from the screen, per Epson's throw table (the same lens as the L890E), so it mounts behind the golfer in a deep room. At $4,169 at Indoor Golf Outlet it is $1,418 less than the L890E for 1,500 fewer lumens.
