Epson - Home Cinema 4010 4K 3LCD Projector with High Dynamic Range - White

I ordered the 4010 from Best Buy on Monday and the expected delivery date was 10/03/18. However, I got an email last night that my projector had arrived at my local store already. Being the impatient person that I am, I ran over and picked it up. I am coming off a Sony VPL-HW40ES, and I was pleased with that projector's picture in a light controlled setting, but not with any ambient light. My use splits about 50/50 between watching movies in total darkness and watching sports with the lights on. I am by no means an AV expert so take this review with a grain of salt, but so far, I am very impressed! I understand this projector has limitations but, for me, it hits the current sweet-spot on 4K, ambient light performance and price. I didn't have the budget to spend more than $2,500 on the PJ and I wanted 4K capability. (I know it’s not true 4K) My initial thoughts with absolutely no tweaking to the settings. 1) This thing is massive! I assumed, incorrectly, that the ceiling mount from my existing Sony would work and it’s not even close! The mounting arms are nowhere near long enough. 2) The colors out of the box look fantastic! Again, I am no AV expert, but to me the colors look better and deeper then the Sony. 3) 4K Sports on DirecTV look amazing! I re-watched an old 4K recording of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament and couldn't take my eyes off it. Excited to watch the ND/Stanford football game in 4K Saturday night! 4) Viewing in ambient light is much much better than my Sony and it’s really not even close! Overall, I am very pleased with the 4010. I know the chipset has some limitations (not having the 18gbs chipset) and it’s not true 4K, but for me it’s the right tool for the job. This is my 3rd PJ and I upgrade about every 3-4 years and this unit will be a nice bridge until I can afford a true 4K model with enough lumens to handle my ambient light needs. Here are a few photos from last night’s initial setup.

it can do 3D! Seriously, how cool is that? it's pretty much plug and play and so easy to use. it's a little big, but not a huge deal as it's worth the size for all the features it has. i'm loving it and can't wait to use it more and more.

Setting up a home theater? Now you can enjoy the ultimate 4K experience for your DIY Home Theater with the Epson Home Cinema Projector available at Best Buy. I am so excited about this home projector. Being able to enjoy the ultimate 4K experience in your own DIY home theater elevates the experience and enjoyment of your home theater. The Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro-UHD Projector has Advanced 3-Chip design and High Dynamic Range which means theater like projection. Most of our households have cable television and/or a blu-ray player that we use to watch programs or movies as a source of entertainment. But the ultimate 4K experience is watching your favorite sports team beat their competitor using the Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro-UHD Projector for the ultimate game experience. Take a peek at the clarity the Epson Home Cinema 4010 can produce in your home. The colors are vivid and the size is bigger than life on our bedroom wall! The Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro-UHD Projector displays your favorite shows, movies, sports, and games the way they were intended to be viewed – on a big screen with bright full-color stunning resolution and free from objects and distortions normally found in other projectors. Your family and friends will enjoy the exceptional viewing experience that the Epson Home Cinema 4K Pro-UHD Projector gives your movies, sports, and games. The few requirements needed to set up and enjoy the Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro-UHD Projector is a room or area where you can place the projector at least ten (10) feet away from the wall or screen, a HDMI cord and a blu-ray player or streaming stick to feed content to the projector. We set up the projector in a spare bedroom that my husband wants to make his media room. As you can see, the picture is amazing just projected on the wall, however, you can also use a projector screen if you do not have a solid wall or if you want to take your projector outside or to another location. Depending on the size of your room or the location you plan to use the projector, it can be mounted from the ceiling or on a wall shelf. The Geek Squad® at your local Best Buy would be happy to help you with the best setup option for your home. I was surprised to learn that the projection area ranges from 50” to 300”! How cool is this when you want to have movie night outside (by the way – the garage doors make a great projection screen)! If you enjoy going to the movies, you will love this projector. The large screen provides a theater experience at home. Winter is coming soon, followed by for most of us..months of stay inside weather. The Epson Home Cinema Projector would make an awesome gift for the family. Find more information and how to details at your local Best Buy Store.

Movies are a big thing in our family and we recently replaced our old projector with this new one and we love it! Set up was a breeze and I had it up and running in no time. My first immediate reaction was WOW, the picture quality is incredible. Not having 4K then having 4K you can really see the difference. The projector has 2,4000 lumens of color and white brightness which basically means you are getting full, bright color and the picture is not distorted and pixelated (like our old projector was). A while back I had priced replacing our old projector and found that 4K projectors were pretty pricey so this price point is really good in my opinion!

I've never been so excited to receive a new piece of technology as I was this Epson 4010 Home Cinema. And, it doesn't disappoint! Children of all ages, ours especially, were beyond excited at the thought of hanging with a group of friends and watching on the big screen. And I'm talking kids from four to fifty-four. It's unanimous among our group of 10+ families: the picture quality and depth of color from the 4K capability on the Epson Home Cinema is BETTER than the movie theaters. It's not cheap. Coming in at $1999 before tax, it's a big investment. However, the rewards are priceless.

Awesome projector for the price, I have it set up in my basement, so it's a pretty dark room, picture is awesome! It even works decent when the lights are on. Only negative is the size... It is a huge beast! Remote control is nice as well, although I use a Logitech Harmony Elite with it.

Don't hesitate to update to the faux 4k era of projectors. I bought this with the Epson mount that BB also sells and it's a big improvement from a mount I purchased at a discount retailer. Looks great with some ambient light. Looks stunning in the dark. I use this with NVidia Shield (Netflix HDR, Amazon 4k, HBOGO 1080p, Kodi, etc), UVerse Cable, Nintendo Switch, SNES/NES Classics, and XBox One S as my 4k Blu-Ray player. I mounted this almost flush against the ceiling because the lens shift allows you a lot of flexibility. The ability to focus and zoom via the remote is really convenient too. Switch games are great and no one noticed any lag on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when the processor was set to "Fast".

My husband was in complete awe of the picture quality of this projector. Having worked in the bar & restaurant industry for years he's had lots of experience with setting up projectors for sports and he said this one completely blows them all out of the water! Even in broad daylight in the sunniest room in our home this projector delivered an amazingly bright, clear picture. And watching our favorite movies on a giant screen just took movie night to a whole new level. We hooked ours up to a streaming service and it was super easy. You can adjust the size of the screen to an impressively large picture and I like that you can adjust the height up and down with just the press of a button for a precise set-up.
