- Key Specs
- Product Weight: 24.7 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)
- Light Source: Lamp
- Resolution: 4K (2160p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Color Brightness (IDMS): 2600 lumens (Measurement of the device's color light output measured accordance with standards established by the Information Display Measurements Standard (IDMS). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the color quality of the projected image.)
- White Brightness (ISO): 2600 lumens (Measurement of the device's white light output measured in accordance with standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the quality of the projected image.)
- Contrast Ratio: 1000000:1 (Measured difference between a displayed image's brightest whites and darkest blacks. The larger the first number, the more detail and color that can be displayed.)
- Projector Use: Home Theater, Gaming
- Projector Throw Type: Standard Throw (The distance from the screen that the projector can be placed to project images. Standard throw projectors typically need to be at least 6 feet away while short throw and ultra short throw projectors can be placed closer to the screen for use in smaller rooms.)
- Portability: Fixed (Fixed projectors are ideal when creating an authentic theater atmosphere in your home. Often designed to stay in one place they may require significant recalibration if moved. Portable projectors, weighing around 5 pounds, are easy to move, but will still require set-up calibration and often have technology to reduce the complexity. Ultra-portable projectors are very light, often battery-powered, and ideal for on-the-go use.)
- Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Display Connector(s): 2 x HDMI 2.1 (The number and type of connectors used to connect to an external display.)

- Color Brightness (IDMS): 2600 lumens (Measurement of the device's color light output measured accordance with standards established by the Information Display Measurements Standard (IDMS). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the color quality of the projected image.)

- Light Source Life (Economy Mode): 5000 hours (The light source's estimated length of operating time when economy mode is enabled.)
- Light Source Life (Normal Mode): 3500 hours (The light source's estimated length of operating time when normal operating mode is enabled.)
- Contrast Ratio: 1000000:1 (Measured difference between a displayed image's brightest whites and darkest blacks. The larger the first number, the more detail and color that can be displayed.)

- Digital Keystone Correction: false ("Keystone effect" refers to the distortion of an image when it is projected on an angled surface or when the projector is positioned too high or too low from the center of the display. Projectors with a digital keystone correction feature are able to scale the image as needed before it is projected, resulting in the correct image orientation no matter where it is displayed.)

- Maximum Aperture: f/2 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

A: The big difference is black levels. If you're going to watch movies in a completely light controlled room, then the 5050UB will be the better choice, otherwise save the $$$ and get the 4010. I have a 5050UB in a completely light controlled room and the blacks are great. But as soon as I open a door or allow light past my blacked out curtains, the black levels become mediocre.
A: Hi Jose, The Home Cinema 5050UB is typically used in home theater setups where an A/V receiver sends video to the projector and audio to a surround sound system. It does not have Bluetooth or audio output jacks. You would need to purchase an external device to send sound to Bluetooth speakers. Other Epson projector models have built-in speakers and/or Bluetooth sound capabilities Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Excellent projector
I've owned the Epson 5050UB for about 2.5 years at this point and put nearly 600 hours onto the bulb. I got it for $2,500 at that time. After 2.5 years, I still couldn't be happier with this projector and would buy it again at its current price of $3,800. I project onto a 110" Elite Screens white screen with a throw distance of about 19 feet in a light controlled purpose-built theater and the visual quality is striking. Blacks are deep, the contrast makes images pop, and color accuracy is spot-on. I had to use the lens shift with where I was placing it and it gave a perfect result. If you need flexibility with your projector placement, this Epson is a great choice. I use the projector mostly for movie watching. I also have a Sony 85" X950H TV in the same room that I use for video games (much better performance on a TV), live sports, and some movies (the TV has Dolby Vision while the projector only has HDR10) and the projector provides as good of an image with a much larger screen when lights are turned off. I use a hush box for its placement and use ECO mode because it's plenty bright enough at that setting (at least until the bulb starts to dim in the future) and its operation is silent, even when sitting in my back row of seats directly under it. I really couldn't be happier and plan on using this model for years until it eventually dies. I highly recommend this for light-controlled rooms.

Excellent
Much brighter picture than Sony or even an Optoma 3200 lumen projector I have seen. Makes it watchable in less than perfect darkness. I still enjoy the extra brightness as well in the dark. Nice sharp picture with its detail enhancement. If you buy a CinemaScope wider screen (maybe 200/300 bucks) the motorized lens will allow you to eliminate annoying black bars at top and bottom in movies such as Avengers. Love this projector. Noticeable upgrade from the 4010 in blacks, color, brightness and contrast. Picture included probably will not do it justice.

Excellent 4K quality home theater projector!!
I bought this Epson 5050UB projector to replace my 9 year old Epson 6010 PowerLite Cinema Pro projector (in my dedicated home theater), and am very happy with my upgrade. The image is noticeably sharper (using new pixel-shifting technology), and the black areas are noticeably darker (with higher contrast overall).... I highly recommend this projector! :-)
