Testimonials
This was a move up from an Epson 5030ub, so bulb based 1080p to native 4K laser is quite the jump. I'm projecting on a 135" budget 1.0 gain grey screen and the colors, contrast and brightness are spectacular. I sit about 14' away and the detail and sharpness of the image is so much better than what I was used to. I love that Epson for what it is but this is in a different league.
