Rated 5 out of 5 by JeanetteD from LOVE Epson projectors! I sure do! Just upgraded to 5050UB (had 5040 with nearly 30,000hrs over 6 bulbs) thru Epson website and having Best Buy put it in the same mount as 5040, same mount was a nice surprise. Hope 5050 bulb gets 5000hrs in ECO like the 5040 did. Courtney in Epson technical was great and so patient thru my many questions via emails. Wish bulbs a bit less expensive but for the quality and hours you get well worth it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JimSc from Stopped Working This has had issues off and on since I first bought it. There are much better options out there - spend a little more on a more worthwhile brand and avoid disappointment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phredric from Beautiful picture Bought as replacement for aging unit. Simple install and setup. All focus and unit adjustment internal, no ladder anymore. 13.5 feet side to side picture, better than real theatre any day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SteveMN from Great projector I don't know that there is more I can say than has been written. This is a well reviewed projector. I've had mine about a month, it has 50 hours on the bulb. It looks great! One of the main reasons I got it was for the lens memory and automated shift and focus. I set it up with a constant image height screen. In 16:9 mode, it's 110 inches, and in 2.4:1 it's 140 inch diagonal. It sits about 19 feet from the screen, and is mounted in a ventilated soffit near the ceiling. My wife was not really happy about the price, and questioned the value. But now that it's installed, she loves it. It's a major step up from our previous inexpensive DLP Optoma projector. Far better blacks and contrast, much better sharpness and color. Just a different world in terms of picture quality and overall satisfaction. If you are on the fence, just get it. You won't be disappointed. No, it's not "real 4K" and no, nobody will know except you and other projector geeks. It looks fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MoonStorm from great for playing games and watching movies I've been enjoying this projector in the basement for two years now, for both playing games and watching movies in 4k. I'm a tiny bit disappointed for the lack of split screen for those impromptu LAN parties.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DustG from No cool down sequence I had this projector and had to return it several times before returning it asking for a refund. The LCD panels inside the projector were overheating while sitting without a cool down causing the image to eventually project color blotches on the screen. When I called they tried blaming my inputs, hdmi cords, and screen itself. I asked customer service why I could not hear a fan running after powering down and they said it wasn't needed. Its a shame cause I had high respect for epson projectors.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DonaldoTX from BEWARE if you have need horizontal keystone correction I purchased the 5050UB as a replacement to my now defective 3020e. The anticipation of what I believed to be a significant upgrade was meet with somewhat mixed experience. My 3020 was installed ~6yrs ago and worked great in my media room that required it to be installed on the ceiling in the corner of the room to avoid a ceiling fan. Picture was very good. I purchased the 5050UB as a plug and play replacement but soon discovered that it did not share the same multi dimensional keystone correction as my 3020e. Bottom line if you want to purchase the 5050UB be very sure that you have a nearly perfect projection path that is straight on to your screen or your picture geometry and pixel resolution will be seriously compromised. Good news - the lens shift digital adjustment magically will correct the need for vertical keystone requirement. Meaning you can keep the projector up fairly high on the ceiling and shift the lens down to where it is virtually perpendicular to the screen. Picture is as advertised when viewing full HD or 4K content. 720p or low HD not so good. So if you like to watch CBS content on DirecTV you will be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RedRockGrandpa from Wonderful picture. So glad I upgraded I've had an Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 1080p projector for about 10 years, and it was a nice unit. This new one, however, is really a step up! Over twice as bright, plus it has motorized lens functions where the earlier one didn't. The only downside, in my view, is the much larger size, but thankfully I was able to deal with it without a lot of effort. There are very few projectors available (at least that I could find) that would work in my theater; the distance to the 92 inch 16x9 screen is 16 feet. This projector's exceptional zoom capability allows this to work where most other projectors would need to be much closer to squeeze their image down to fit my screen.
