Epson to launch new flagship projector at ISE 2026 in February

Epson has announced an up-and-coming new flagship projector for commercial use that promises to set a new standard for “performance, precision and versatility” in larger venues. Few details were revealed, but the company said it’s planning to showcase it at the ISE 2026 event that takes place in Barcelona, Spain, in February 2026.

The company, which is known for its exceptional quality projectors, said the new flagship is going to be a “high-lumen” model with 4K resolution, though it has not yet released any details on the kind of light source it uses, nor its peak brightness and image size. What we do know is that it’s designed to be used in large venues. It will also come with a new type of integrated cooling system and multiple connectivity options, which should ensure it’s both reliable and extremely compatible with different media sources.

Epson said visitors at ISE 2026 will be able to experience the new projector in all its glory at the “Infinity installation” at its booth. The experience is said to be created by Luca Rapis of One Thousand, and will feel like an “endless column of light” that surrounds visitors in a “dynamic, layered environment designed to engage both the senses and the imagination.”

In addition to the new projector flagship, Epson said it will unveil a new generation of professional lenses that are meant to enhance installation flexibility and allow its new model to be used in various different situations.

A second product on display at ISE 2026 will be a new kind of interactive, ultra-short-throw projector that’s designed for collaborative education in classroom environments. Again, details are scant, but the company promises large pictures, high resolution and brightness to ensure clear visibility from every angle, and an “interactive display”, which suggests some kind of way to interact with elements of the image, perhaps using a laser pointer of some other kind of device. We’re really not quite sure, but it sounds enticing. Epson said its new classroom UST projector will also use less energy compared to standard display technologies.

Epson said it aims to demonstrate how projection can “outperform flat panels and LED displays in creativity, flexibility, and visual impact.” We’ve no idea of how much these new projectors will cost, nor when they’ll be released, but we imagine they should be available sometime next year, and we don’t expect them to be cheap.
