Epson Home Cinema 5050UB 4K PRO-UHD 3-Chip Projector – Enjoy Ultra-High Definition Cinematic Experiences at Home

Mark O.: Epson knocked it out of the park with this one! My first impression was wow this thing is gigantic. I had to use a low table to support it in my setup but the lens shift easily moved the image where I needed it. The image quality (clarity, color) absolutely blew me away. The entire image is in perfect focus with the flick of the lens focus feature on the remote. Lens positioning can be saved in memory as well. Previous low end projectors I had could not be focused at the 4 corners. I was lucky to get this on sale for Black Friday but it’s worth every bit of $3000. I highly recommend this product.

Briyani: I came from epson 2030 1080p projector which has a good image. But the 5050ub definitely has a richer image which is really more noticeable with 4k content. Deep blacks, crisp sharpness and rich color. The only thing, this projector is huge. Like 2.5 times the epson 2030. This projector is best suited for a large home theatre room, but i love the quality so i will make it work for my set up. superb image quality!

Jay B.: If you can get past the price of how astronomically much this costs which seems like a total scam at first, this actually is the best prosumer option for you. It’s rated highest by all the people in all the leading reviewers. This is my second Epson now. The main reason I get this is because of the quality and versatility. I have an offset layout of my house where I can mount the projector and typically you have to have something dead in line with the screen. This one has enough features to where is can adjust the image in all directions and the zoom/sides, too, which is important to size the screen borders correctly. The focus is super precise and is motorized so you don’t have to literally do it on a ladder and there’s a lens lock feature on the remote so you can’t accidentally change an otherwise pretty set picture totally mess it up without some effort. The best thing is that even if you do manage to lose or somehow break this lighted remote, there is a very small amount of controls hidden behind an easily accessible little door, plus the replacement remotes are readily found online for $75 or less. and The brightness of this newer model projector is...

KcMsterpce: I purchased the LG HU80KA a year ago to test the practicality of having a projector set up within my living room.
I also own the LG OLED65C7, which I use for viewing 4k UHD content in "beautiful" mode.
The HU80KA has helped me realize that I have a reasonable amount of space for projector use; also, I quite enjoy 110" screen size versus a now-measly 65 inch display. It's hard to go back from that.

With that said, I decided to get the 5050UB instead of the JVC NX7 due to zero JVC dealers within my area. I would have to hand-carry a unit onto a plane and bring it with me in order to acquire one. Furthermore, the price range is significantly higher than the Epson. The idea of carrying a 50-pound package (in the box, 44lbs for the projector itself) through customs and flights, getting jostled and possibly destroyed in transit meant that I wasn't sure the risk was worth the benefit.
So here I am, watching Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 with the Epson 5050UB, mouth agape, and an unwillingness to stop watching anything and everything possible, all at once, out of sheer joy from my visual experience.

If you want to know more about the HU80KA, I...
