Epson Home Cinema 5050UB

“5050UB owner here, got the vertical stripes a little over 3 years of ownership, a year or so after the warranty ended. Super disappointing, my first Epson lasted much longer with no issues.”

“I love the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB 4K PRO-UHD- $2500 rn from $3000 on amazon. Lots of give in the screen positioning and throw distance. Had mine for a year and love it.”

“What I experienced going from a 5050ub with pixel shift to a native 4k jvc is that I could see with the 5050ub what I would call 'pixel hopping' it was very faint but I could tell it was there.”

“I have the 5050ub placed right above my listening position and I can hear the projector especially during quiet scenes. It's not unbearable but something I do notice.”

“the 5050UB is capable of great image quality”

“I have been very disappointed with my epson 5050ub performance in hdr on windows and in plex, and it was not really resolved when testing on a nvidia shield”

“I was looking at them and ended up buying a great condition Epson Cinema 5050UB as an upgrade. I’m thrilled with the performance bump over my old projector”

“It's a great projector until it's not. Dust blobs are a ridiculous problem and it's a shame there's not a simple owner friendly way to fix the problem.”

“I would never buy another Epson projector. My 5050UB just died about 3yrs after I bought it new. It did not even last the life cycle of a single bulb.”

“I stuck with the 5050ub for about a month then ended up back on the C3… the black levels just weren’t there.”

“I bought a couple projectors that were new tech at the same cost and they didnt stand up. The Epson5050UB really is GOAT”

“I returned 3800 and got 5050ub. It is definitely better than 3800 but quite frankly I can’t see enough difference for spending so much.”

“Had 5050ub, but sent it back… the picture was great but it was a monster, I need (want) something smaller in the living room.”

“I replaced it with a 5050UB. Much happier. Way more light and it's quiet.”

“my first lamp just died with only ~500hrs. Not heavy use, always low brightness, used in a cool basement room. Was expecting the advertised 3000-5000 hrs under those ideal conditions.”

“I just got epson 5050ub on black friday. Was debating between this or hisense c2 but ended up with epson. Absolutely blown away by the quality. Currently projecting 150” from about 13 feet”

“Still bummed I didn't get more than 5 years out of the Epson.”

“5050ub owner here and what I really want is better motion handling. Compared to my plasma, the 5050ub is a blur.”

“For SDR I agree with you. The Epson 5050ub is the best $3000 projector. It’s also the lowest price /best option projector for large rooms. If, however, your focus is HDR and/or games and you have a smaller space I think the 5050ub has already been bested.”

“I've had a 5050UB for coming up on 2 years and have had no issues. It's my second Epson projector and I had no issue with the prior one either. It puts out a great picture.”

“I have the 5050ub for about a year and use it all the time. Looks best on a darken room but I can use it with some light if the source is bright like sdr tv and what not.”

“I have a decent projector. 5050ub. HDR is never on. Tone mapped to sdr.”

“my Epson 5050UB did actually short itself or something or I got shipped something defective and the main board was fried only a couple of inconvenient months after my warranty was up. But fortunately (and this is why I'll happily endorse them here) I found out from extensive googling that Epson has a flat rate repair program for like $300 or $350ish (can't r”

“I just bought a 5050ub for my basement last week. I have one large window about 20 ft away from my screen, no complaints about the brightness. Sure, it's not as bright as a TV, but it's pretty damn good.”
