Epson
Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS650
The cheap way into a laser TV, and the one that behaves most like furniture: 16 lb, a console-style cabinet, Yamaha 2.1 audio with a subwoofer, and Android TV.
Best for: A bright den where a 100-inch picture matters more than pixel count
AWOL Vision
AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro
The gaming ultra-short-throw: 15 ms at 4K/60 and 8 ms at 1080p/120, which is unheard of in a category where 30 to 50 ms is normal.
Best for: A laser TV that has to serve a console as well as a streaming stack

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS650: what it gives up
- 1080p panels with no pixel shift — 4K goes in, 1080p comes out
- The 0.28 throw ratio needs roughly twice the wall clearance of a 0.16-class UST
- 36 dB is the loudest normal-mode fan figure of the laser TVs here
- Single-laser phosphor, so no wide-gamut tri-laser color
- No 3D, no Dolby Vision, no HDR10+
- The lens is completely fixed — no zoom at all — so one screen size means exactly one throw distance
AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro: what it gives up
- 2,000 ISO lumens is low for a projector that has to fight room light
- 2,500:1 native contrast is the lowest of the USTs here
- Android TV rather than Google TV; the app experience is a step behind
- AWOL is a small brand with limited service infrastructure
