Our Verdict
NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII Wins
Superior for gaming with 4.2ms input lag and true native 4K. Choose Epson for slightly higher brightness at 2,500 lumens, especially if its pixel shift 4K and traditional throw are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this comparison
Which projector is better for gaming?
The NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII is superior for gaming due to its extremely low input lag of 4.2ms. While the Epson offers a 120 Hz refresh rate, its input lag isn't specified, making the NexiGo the clearer choice for competitive gamers.
What's the main difference in their 4K resolution?
The NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII offers true native 4K resolution. The Epson Home Cinema LS11000 achieves 4K (3840x2160) using pixel shift technology, meaning it's not a true native 4K display.
Which projector offers better brightness?
The Epson Home Cinema LS11000 has a slightly higher brightness at 2,500 ANSI lumens. The NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII provides 2,400 ANSI lumens, a negligible difference for most viewing environments but Epson is technically brighter.
Does the NexiGo's ultra-short throw (UST) offer a significant advantage?
Yes, the NexiGo's 0.21:1 throw ratio means it can project a large image from very close to the screen, saving space and simplifying installation. The Epson is a traditional long-throw projector.
