Currently using a Sony 45ES.

Would this be a worthwhile upgrade?

Only 2000 ANSI lumens. No 3D. Suboptimal black levels. Not a smart projector with auto keystone or auto focus. Limited built in apps. For a similar price or less, you can get a Dangbei Mars Pro 4K laser, Xgimi Horizon Pro 4K LED, or Optoma UHZ45 laser. I tried to post deals for a couple of these but they kept being removed.

How does it compare to the Epson 4050UB?

2000 lumens is fine for a light controlled room (mine is 1800); 3D isn't really a thing anymore; I've yet to see a review that says the contrast is bad; keystone (? lol) and auto focus are inane—setting up a projector once is no big deal; I'd imagine most people are using a different device than the built in apps, but from what I've read, LG's OS is one of the best (it's actually a strength on most reviews).

I'd also imagine most people would be hesitant of buying a projector from a company with limited track record and whose company name looks like a random mishmash of letters you see on Amazon peddling trash products. Big purchases require a company is around to provide firmware updates and handle warranty claims (and spare parts).

Basically, unless you've demoed this projector or seen it in action, your comments are unhelpful to people looking to buy.

Somewhat disagree with your comments.

Just like you've mentioned, I've also tried multiple projectors ranged from $100, 2k/3k.
And currently owns Vava 4k, Optoma cinemax p2 and d2, Samsung premiere, and LG hu70lab and LG hu810pw (im not going to go over all portable projectors since they are not in same league, but do have Xgimi halo plus, elfin, and Wemax dice)

As Paranoid_yet mentioned 2000 ANSI lumen is sufficient enough in light controlled room. But real issue here is that each company's advertised ANSI lumens can be quite deceiving. Among projectors that you mentioned one projector that actually gives you over 2000 Ansi lumen is Dangbei Mars pro 4k. Measured ansi lumens of Xgimi Horizon pro is merely 1200 ansi lumens. (Per The Hook up review: https://youtu.be/ZDB_dqR2EWA)
By the way, dont get me wrong I do love Xgimi projectors..

Currently my go to projector for movie night is LG hu810pw which have brightness rated as 2500 Ansi lumens but fact is it is far brighter (or look brighter with high contrast ratio) than any projectors that I mentioned above.

Also 2 laser sources (by the way LG hu710 uses mixture of laser and LED source), with built in adaptive contrast, Iris adjustments function. It produces the best image that I've seen under 3k projectors.

And if you've used LG hu710, you would probably know that keystone correction is not really required on this projector (unless you are trying to project screen from extreme angle), since it comes with pretty wide/handy manual lens adjustment knob,
with Lens Shift: Horiz ± 24% | Vert ± 60%, you can easily move your sceen around without losing your picture quality.
On top of it, honestly, I would never recommend anynody to use keystone correction. You are sacrificing too much quality juat to make screen look right.

Also I'm not sure what you meant by limited built in apps? hu710 comes with the latest Web OS which provides flawless services to any major streaming apps you can name. (Of course including Netflix) And i believe it is far superior system than Android TV. Especially with extremely easy screen mirroring option, user friendly interface with fast response.

So what would you say about this replacing a Sony 45ES?

I have a $80 vanyko 1080p led and I love it. First time I turned it on I was blown away. Working great past year. I laugh at 80" screens now.

I imagine these things are far better. We don't watch enough to get anything else.

Why do you guys have so many projectors? Work?
Projectorphiles are like audiophiles?

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to see how Sony HW45ES performs.

Even though it was praised by many reviewers with its picture quality, Once I was spoiled by 4K resolution, I wasn't able to go back to 1080p (except for watching with small screen size with portable projector)

Also, I just couldn't accept the fact that $299 lamp needs to be replaced every <6,000 hours (6000 hrs in Low lamp mode, hours for high lamp mode wasn't even rated) plus as many of you guys already know brightness of lamp fall quickly as you use it longer. (normally decline 25% in the first 500 hours of use)

Brightness is listed as 1800 ANSI lumens which is not the best, but considering its contrast ratio, I believe that projector will actually give you deep black with very accurate colors.

No smart OS, No bluetooth connection, No wireless mirroring (unless you purchase optional wireless HDMI)

But If you are 3D fan, HW45ES supports it. (No 3D on LG hu701)
Also if you are gamer, latency is pretty low (1080p/60: 22ms)

connection choice seems very limited: 12-Volt Trigger, HDMI x 2, Network (RJ-45), RS232 DB-9pin, USB

If I have to make a choice, I would go with LG hu710, especially when it is on sale for $1500. (Sony HW45ES MSRP $1,999)

Hope this helps your purchase decision

In my light controlled bedroom and limited 75" screen size, 200 lumens is fine. But in my living room with a vaulted ceiling, 120" remote controlled screen, and daytime ambient light, I need at least 3000 lumens to get even a semblance of a watchable image. But at night, I prefer the image quality of the 2200 lumens LED Xgimi Pro over the 3800 lumens laser Optoma UHZ45.

If I had a place to mount it, I'd rather get a 100" TV for $5K or even an 86" OLED TV, because no projector in a similar price range can come close to the quality of a TV with ambient lighting. And during gatherings like a Superbowl party, most people prefer a TV in a room with the lights on over a dark enclosed space. (But no TVs nowadays can display 3D movies on bluray discs that I know of.)

As for apps, I much prefer using the Nvidia Shield TV pro over any built in apps. But for many people who don't have a dedicated light controlled room and want one projector they can set up anywhere and carry it from room to room and outside, built in apps add ability to cast without copyright restrictions are important to them.

From my limited experience, lasers are brighter, run cooler with less heat, noise, and energy, start up and cool down faster and last 20-30K hours (over 10 years), but suffer from less darker blacks. And single light sources suffer from the rainbow effect.

Dangbei Mars Pro 4K is an excellent projector I got for just over $1,200, but can't play 3D blu ray discs. The company says they don't plan on supporting it on this model, but says next year's model will be able to display it. You can sideload apps to run Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, YouTube, etc, but they'll also send you an Android stick for free for answering few questions.

The legitimacy of your comments in nonexistent when your second point is "No 3D". What year do you live in? Also, as others mention this projector has a wide selection of apps, but in either case a dedicated media device will always perform better than an integrated one.

Seems like you're shilling.
