Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • The UBP –x800 player is also highly recommended as it is quick and easy to use with some great features
  • The UBP –x800 player is also highly recommended as it is quick and easy to use with some great features
  • This is a nice feature because my previous projector lens got covered in dust before I noticed that I should clean it.
  • Love the lens shift feature and the electronic "shutter" to black out unwanted sides
  • I believe HDR to be the more impressive feature than Epson's 4K enhancement anyway

Reviews around lens (5.00 of 5)

  • It all happens while the lens is warming up or cooling down so it never affects the power up or down time
  • Good:*Black is black great better than 3600e*Wireless HDMI great works as expected a must have for my settings*Lens lid close automatically good*Silence operation*Electronic shift lens nice to
  • So far so good, great picture quality and lens adjust is magic not having to move entire device for adjustment
  • Pros:- Has an automatic open and close lens lid shutter that activates to protect the lenses from any dust and scratches.- Quite as it could be, very good especially with the power it holds.- Setup is simple and easy.- Wireless HDMI works at
  • I cleaned the lens once initially and noticed that the center 2” or so of it is almost flat while the edges taper off in a curvature as normally expected

Reviews around 4k enhancement (4.56 of 5)

  • The 4k enhancement, which most people will buy this for is very good.
  • I was skeptical at first on the difference the 4k enhancement would make
  • In clear, as a 1080p it is wonderful, as a 4K, it find it disappointing
  • When viewing 1080p blu ray material, there is a noticeable difference when switching the 4k enhancement on and then off.
  • According to other articles, the fastest input lag with 4k enhancement on is 28ms.

Reviews around image (4.46 of 5)

  • It's a sharper, more beautiful image, and no matter how much I adjusted the settings on this Epson I could not get it to look as good
  • Output great image with high color accuracy, but unfortunately the Epson didn't put a full speed 18gb HDMI chip inside, so you won't get 4K HDR 10bit at 60fps
  • Furthermore, it will display 1080p contents with a truly great image quality
  • Colors in HDR are much more vibrant, though to offset the darker image in HDR mode I have to change to Cinema Bright mode, and I often choose to switch from HDR2 to HDR1 mode
  • Sony produce a greatly darkened image on the screen.

Reviews around contrast (4.45 of 5)

  • it's hard to find fault in the 5040, with it's incredible contrast and truly black blacks
  • Contrast RatioThe 5040 has truly dramatic Ultra Black levels, utilizing an improved iris design that delivers up to a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.
  • ConclusionThe 5040's 4K pixel shifting, combined with increased brightness, and a vastly improved contrast ratio, make this projector well worth the upgrade.
  • The picture is incredibly bright, with excellent contrast
  • The new optoma uhd 60 projector is native 4k and simarly priced, but has significantly weaker contrast and black level

Reviews around color (4.10 of 5)

  • Color is great, plenty of light even in the daytime, very quiet (it's right behind my head about 3 feet over it), and positioning is super easy
  • The quality of the image is clear and crisp with amazing color to include black levels
  • The colors are amazing and the image is so bright, I had to turn it down to its lowest setting.
  • Most consumers are used to the exaggerated colors of LED and plasma TVs, although those colors look nice and vivid, they do not reflect reality
  • And most of all.. the image quality is AMAZING with accurate colors, excellent dynamic range, and deep blacks.

Reviews around screen (4.03 of 5)

  • Get a good theater sound sytem and a 4K player (at this point only Samsung and Phillips are available - and the Samsung is better) a good screen can be had for $300.00 or
  • beautiful picture paired with an acoustically transparent screen from Silver ticket
  • The screen was so vibrant, that it looks like they were closed!I haven't had this projector for 24 hours yet, but will update my review as I find out cool new things.
  • I have it projecting onto a 140 inch Seymour Enlightor 4K acoustically transparent screen
  • Above 120" screen size, most viewers will appreciate the increased sharpness of UHD content, but the screen will be dim enough that HDR content will either look washed out, or you'll have to calibrate the projector to maximize light output at the expense of color accuracy

Reviews around work (3.89 of 5)

  • We upgraded the receiver to a high end Denon received and paired everything with a master remote which has worked really well for us.
  • I dont recomend itIt only worked for five hours
  • It sucks having a dedicated home theater in my home without a projector because of short cuts taken and advertised features not working.
  • Actually prefer the look of DLP but could not afford $50K for a new 4K 3 chip DLP projector.
  • UPDATE: 09-18-2017After much fussing and trying out all three 4K capable blu-ray players (Samsung, Phillips, & Sony) on my own

Reviews around epson (3.86 of 5)

  • Really disappointed and I would have liked Epson to send a newer model where the issues are fixed.....after all I have the extended warranty.
  • In all my research into 4k-capable projectors, the Epson 5040ub and the JVC DLA-RS400U stood out in the sub-$5000 range
  • Epson is garbage
  • case you are wondering I upgraded from my still working great Epson
  • I returned the Epson 4000 because the poor black levels in dark scenes distracted me enough to pay more for the “ultra black” levels available in the Epson 5040

Reviews around thing (3.82 of 5)

  • works but for as much money as this thing cost it MUST work as advertised!Well, I will call epson Monday and see if they will try again...
  • Picture quality is the most amazing thing I have ever seen
  • I love this thing, but I also learned my lesson the first time and picked up the 4 year Square Trade warranty.
  • the thing is a monster, electric shifting, screen size moving up and down and left to right makes a big difference in my install to an existing location 11 feet off the ground.
  • I did a lot of research and read many reviews in a few of them i found reviewers trying to find negative things to say about the awesomeness of this

Reviews around unit (2.02 of 5)

  • Fortunately the seller accepted the return of the defective unit
  • (We know how difficult that it) and Epson sent me a refurbished unit.
  • Although not capable of native 4K playback, Sony makes a unit that does for around $10k, the picture quality is amazing
  • Bought a second unit and that unit also died on me after five months
  • Don't take me wrong is a great projector, however I can't justify yet if is worth double of the 3600e which is a great unit

Reviews around fan noise (1.54 of 5)

  • FAN NOISE-Minimally audible fan noise on medium setting
  • The fan seemed a bit loud to me when I was testing the projector initially on the table top, but after having installed it on the ceiling, I hardly notice the fan noise at all
  • If I use the "Native" resolution, the 1080p contents are scaled up to match the 4k resolution and the image is not as good as with the Epson 2040 which has a native resolution of 1080p and does not do any scaling
  • As soon as I switch to HDMI1, loud cranking fan noise starts
  • The UBP –x800 player is also highly recommended as it is quick and easy to use with some great features

Reviews around input lag (1.47 of 5)

  • The last 2 things that were important to me were input lag for gaming purposes and HDR.
  • According to Rtings.com, most people will not notice input lag below 40ms.
  • Can't play it on this projector because the input lag is pretty bad.
  • Can't play it on this projector because the input lag is pretty bad.
