Overall a 5050UB within spitting distance of $2000 (in post covid inflationary pricing times) is a massive bang for the buck and by far the best value. Yes this projector is long in the tooth but it was so far ahead when it came out that it's still a great choice today.
The 11000 is slightly sharper but the black levels are a deal breaker. The 12000 has the improved sharpness and the good blacks but is not worth 2x the cost. The 5050 will still blow you away if you've never owned a premium (but not elite) level projector before.
Just be warned all of them are a beast size-wise.
- It has a manual HDR tone map slider - HDR typically is quite dark on projectors and this helps alleviate this. The HDR tone map slider is one thing that differentiates this from epson 5040
- this projector will handle 18 gbps HDMI 2.0 for 4K 60. Epson 5040 was only 10.2 gbps interface so could only do 4k24 HDR and 4k60 with 4:2:0 chroma
- Epson projectors have advanced motorized zoom lenses with a lot of motorized frame adjust and lens memory. This is important if you have a 2.35:1 screen like I do. I press a button and the image enlarges to fit my 2.35:1 screen so I see movies like they were intended. The epson projectors are by FAR the least expensive projectors with an advanced motorized lens system like this. most cheap projectors you need to get on your ladder and adjust manually
- contrast is important for perception of sharpness. The cheap DLPs that can produce true 4k images have worse contrast ratios so many of the reviews state that these higher contrast epsons appear sharper to the eye than something like a BenQ ht3550 or ht3560
- this projector still supports 3D. LS11000 / LS12000 do not. The JVC NP5 does but that is $6k
just a few ramblings for those interested who do not want to read the 20 page reviews . . .

We had an old Epson 3500 and used it as regular TV. It took 6-7 years for us to reach 4000 hrs.
But yeah it's gigantic.
If you're using in a non light controlled living room then brightness is more important because the black floor would be ruined by ambient light.

my 5040 has finally started showing lines on the screen so I'm in for one.
