That is the traditional time for Epson to launch home theater projectors, although sometimes they have launched lower end home entertainment models at CES or other times.Įpson tells me that while the step down HC4010 and PC4050, have many improvements, there were a few new features and capabilities that were just not ready in time for a near year-end launch of a new UB projector. The Home Cinema 5050UB - aka HC5050UB - replaces the earlier HC5040UB, which has been shipping for over 2.5 years! Many expected this projector to be launched last fall, at CEDIA and IFA, along with the Home Cinema 4010 and Pro Cinema 4050, which were launched just a few weeks apart). (good for Epson) Days ago I was speaking with Epson folks, discussing this new model, and learned that the Home Cinema 5050UB is off to an even hotter start in sales than the HC4010 was. I had previously written that the model below this 5050UB - the HC4010, launched last fall - was selling so well that there were significant back orders. Projector Reviews full, in-depth review of the HC5050UB is in the works.Įpson Home Cinema 5050UB (aka HC5050UB) projector: 4K capable, loaded with features and abilities! Put another way: although I am most enthusiastic about the HC5050UB, I get to downplay some of the usual hype that goes into manufacturers own advertorials. The great thing about my getting to write this Advertorial with Epson is that I get to drop in my opinions, instead of it being all manufacturer's usual marketing. Expansive and capable eature set, there are few projectors anywhere near the price that can take on this Epson, feature for feature. as long as you have some reasonable lighting control. Great in a dedicated home theater or "cave," yet also happy (thanks to 2600 max lumens) to work well in media rooms, living rooms, dens, family rooms, etc. Great black level performance, especially considering the price Basically, we're talking $1500 - $5000 range.Įpson's Home Cinema 5050UB is about many things, especially: Regulars have long known that I have considered most of the UB projectors (over the years) to hold the honor of being the best value among the relatively affordable serious home theater projector that isn't ridiculously expensive.
