When a manufacturer launches a new projector, it’s a big deal. But when a manufacturer launches new projectors after years of waiting, it’s an even bigger deal. Epson did just that a couple of months ago with their new 5050UB and 6050UB 4K PRO-UHD projectors. And while neither of the two new projectors offer native 4K resolution, Epson projectors continue to be a popular choice for home theater enthusiasts.
The Epson Home Cinema 5050UB Projector
This model’s predecessor, the 5040UB, was quite a hit when it launched in 2016. For years, fans have been eagerly waiting for an updated version. Enter the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB projector. During the years between products, Epson clearly worked hard to improve picture quality and performance. Perfect for the DIY-home theater enthusiast, the Epson 5050UB features:
- 4K Pro-UHD technology, also known as pixel enhancement – shifts pixels diagonally in an effort to mimic 4K resolution
- Full 10-bit HDR color processing and Precision HDR Adjustment – delivers a spectacular picture and allows for fine-tuning HDR performance in real-time
- Outstanding brightness – boasting 2,600 lumens for color and white brightness, the projector performs well, even with some ambient lighting
- Flexible lens system – whether being placed on a shelf or mounted from the ceiling, the lens can shift up to 96% vertically and 47% horizontally, allowing for easy adjustments
The Epson Pro Cinema 6050UB Projector
The newest member of Epson’s Pro Cinema line, the 6050UB, also recently debuted. As one would expect, the 6050UB includes many of the same features as the 5050UB, but with additional enhancements.The 6050UB offers more powerful image processing and advanced pixel-shifting capabilities. It also comes packaged in a black case instead of white and includes a mount, spare lamp, and a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.
