• Reviews around 4k enhancement (4.56 of 5)

    Epson Home Cinema 5040UB 3LCD Home Theater Projector with 4K Enhancement, HDR10, 100% Balanced Color and White Brightness, Ultra Wide DCI-P3 Color Gamut and UltraBlack Contrast

    • The 4k enhancement, which most people will buy this for is very good.
    • According to other articles, the fastest input lag with 4k enhancement on is 28ms.
    • When viewing 1080p blu ray material, there is a noticeable difference when switching the 4k enhancement on and then off.
    • I was skeptical at first on the difference the 4k enhancement would make
    • The 4k enhancement and the other onboard picture processing result in a picture much sharper and cleaner than my previous JVC projector and on my samsung led tv
    • The 4k enhancement really does work
    • Actually prefer the look of DLP but could not afford $50K for a new 4K 3 chip DLP projector.
    • I'm back here to tell you that if you want to take advantage of the 4K enhancement (HDR) for this projector you'll need the Phillips 4K player (only it puts out a signal in the range this projector needs to put the best possible 4K image on your silver screen).
    • There is a motor involved in the 4K pixel shift or "4K enhancement", this means you might be able to hear a light hum/buz in very quiet conditions
    • In clear, as a 1080p it is wonderful, as a 4K, it find it disappointing
    • You are not going to get a perfect 4K, but I hardly notice the difference anyways
    • UPDATE: 09-18-2017After much fussing and trying out all three 4K capable blu-ray players (Samsung, Phillips, & Sony) on my own
    • 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
    • The UBP –x800 player is also highly recommended as it is quick and easy to use with some great features
