Epson has introduced two new Home Cinema projectors designed to deliver an immersive 4K experience to DIY home theaters. The Home Cinema 5050UB and wireless Home Cinema 5050UBe 4K PRO-UHD projectors feature 2,600 lumens of equal color and white brightness, HDR10, and Epson UltraBlack technology.
Leveraging full 10-bit color output – plus proprietary dedicated processors for resolution enhancement, HDR and image processing – the new Home Cinema 4K PRO-UHD projectors are designed to display incredible color accuracy, brightness, and image detail.
“The new Epson Home Cinema 5050UB and 5050UBe projectors are worthy successors to our highly-acclaimed Home Cinema 5040UB and 5040UBe,” said Rodrigo Catalan, senior product manager, Projectors, Epson America. “By retaining the outstanding black performance from the previous generation and adding our latest 4K PRO-UHD resolution enhancement technology, we’ve raised the bar again with the new Home Cinema solutions to deliver top contenders for the best DIY home theater projectors available today.”
The Home Cinema 5050UB and 5050UBe are powered by Epson’s 4K PRO-UHD resolution enhancement technology, an advanced, high performance optical engine that generates high color and white brightness, color accuracy, and dramatic contrast with HDR10. Epson’s latest projectors fully support 4K HDR content at a full 60Hz for outstanding display of the latest 4K HDR content and next-generation gaming hardware. Featuring a dynamic contrast ratio up to 1,000,000:1, a wide color gamut displaying the entire DCI-P3 color space, and Epson’s proprietary 15-element glass projection lens, the latest Epson Home Cinema projectors offer an exceptional 4K experience to power any DIY home theater build.
The Home Cinema 5050UB and 5050UBe offer wide lens shift of up to ±96 percent on the vertical axis and up to ±47 percent on the horizontal axis. For extremely accurate color reproduction, the new projectors feature low Delta E and include a CalMAN pattern generator calibration tool. Plus, with Epson’s advanced 3-chip, 3LCD technology, the projectors display images free from any distracting rainbow effect or white segments.
The Home Cinema 5050UBe (MSRP $3,299) and 5050UB (MSRP $2,999) 4K PRO-UHD projectors are now available through select e-tailers and the Epson online store. Each model comes with Epson’s unsurpassed service and support including toll-free access to Epson’s PrivateLine priority support, 90-day limited lamp warranty, and free two-business-day exchange with Extra Care Home Service.
