Featured Comments

Totally understand that personal choice and preference varies widely, because of the image clarity and black levels offered by a TV. However, I cannot convince myself how someone who has experienced the immersion offered by a projector can ever be willing to go back to a TV, provided the projector was setup properly and with a good surround sound system to go with it. When we talk projectors to compare with TVs, we don't talk 100 inches. It is always about 120 inches or more screen size. Some simple reasons why I choose a projector over a TV.

A 135/150 inch TV is impractical in all ways thinkable. Unless display technology improves to give us a 1-2 mm thick panel, it is not movable once setup. You can't take it outside on a fun day for that back yard party or make it the pillion rider on your motorcycle for that get together at your friend's place.
A 150 inch TV if setup on the wall, adds a lot of load on the wall studs/joists, and even more so when you have subwoofers shaking your room. Setting up such a huge TV properly, without structural damage in the long run can be expensive.
If the TV ever needs repair, you have to invite the technician into the comfort of your theater room, and 2 more people to take it off the wall When TV dies one day, you will have to pay to get it off your wall and out of your home.
A DLP projector from a reputed manufacturer almost always fails from a dying bulb, color wheel, a fan and or thermal sensor-all three can be easily replaced by an average DIYer. Been there, done that, so I know what I am talking about. Good luck troubleshooting your 150 inch TV, as the number of components are much more, movability and disassembly are much harder.
When I feel like going to the theater, I buy the 4K disc off of amazon for $20 (unlimited watch for the whole family), make our own pop corn and sink into our recliners. Think not missing theater visits, when you still have that 98 inch TV. In last 3 years, the only movie I watched at a theater is avatar, way of the water for the IMAX and bigger screen experience, thanks to my DIY home setup.


Andrew Robinson and many other A/V enthusiasts might think otherwise, but once you've used a projector it is only practical to assume that projectors are here to stay.
Even Sony admitted this projector punches way above it's weight and lowered their entry level price for true 4k to below 6k (4.8k street) bc of it after it launched...

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. This is known by everyone in the industry that this is the projector to beat under $5000


Multiple independent shoot outs, nearly every publication documents this.
The price was 3k everywhere couple of days back. Can you name a quality true native 4K projector below $5000? I don't care about gaming performance either, but there a lot of people who do. I like my benq better because of superior color accuracy, but one cannot use it for games.

Quote from Amerijapoxicano :
Almost 10 years? It's been out about 7.5 years. Chill out.

I've had mine for about 6.5 years. Still on first bulb despite it past the expected bulb life. It messed up on me because of power supply issues at first, but Epson replaced quickly.

I sure do love it for movies especially. My friends often comment on the visual quality.

Video games I'd rather play on a 32" gaming monitor.

It just feels like a LONG time lol

Love my 5050ub. Movies in HDR are amazing. Epson support is great too if you have any issues.

The JVC is $5k
and the Sony is even more.


So no, not even close unless $2k+ is close to you.

Andrew Robinson and many other A/V enthusiasts might think otherwise, but once you've used a projector it is only practical to assume that projectors are here to stay.

I have both an Epson 4010 with a 120" screen and a full Atmos 7.2.4 setup in my basement and a 77" Sony OLED with Sony HTA5000 with the sub and rears in my office. More often then not, I find myself going into my office to watch both tv and movies, as well as play games. The audio is SUBSTANTIALLY better in my basement ( no comparison!), but I've just really grown to like the way OLED looks vs my projector. I sit about 7' away from the 77", when I'm watching the 120" I'm sitting about 13' away. Both are very immersive experiences. Honestly I wish I gave the projector more love, primarily because that's where the audio really just punches in my home, but I just don't use it, I keep going back to the OLED because I like the picture quality so much better. I have replaced the projector bulb once so far. I believe I have roughly 800 hours on the new bulb, so it's still plenty bright

If you have an Xbox and want to play it on both the TV and the projector, how do you set it up? Because the location of both doesn't match up. Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm still rocking a Epson 5040 now for almost 10 years and it's been amazing. I just swap in a new bulb and it's back to running like it's brand new. I got it running a 150" setup and an htpc with it running madvr for an outstanding image. The 5050 is definitely worth the money these days if you can't settle for these tiny little panels everyone has...
Would you mind sharing where you purchase your bulbs? They're very pricey for the 5xxx from Epson unlike their 2xxx which are $60

Epson UB series do an excellent job with upscaling to 4K. I have had both a true Sony 4K projector and an Epson 5040UB. At times they are very hard to distinguish. And the Epson was much better with gaming, if that is of any importance.
And the Sony is much better at movies....

Glad you posted this. I was wondering when Benq would have a semi-affordable native 4k pj. Ive been a Benq fanboy since the W1070.

You either buy a receiver with two outputs or if on a budget, get an hdmi switcher.

I wouldn't say much better. It's better. But it is also double the cost.

We have an 85" Sony 90H downstairs for general TV viewing, but when we watch a good movie we always go upstairs to the 110" and the 5050UB. Dark room, sitting close, popcorn, it's all something a TV doesn't replicate.

This is the scenario for a vast majority of the population that have experienced a projector in the comfort of their home, and I belong to the same category. A few others seem to appreciate the clarity and depth offered by a much smaller OLED TV even after experiencing a projector. How that is possible, I find hard to digest but that is why you say... to each his/her own look around (but I still don't get it LMAO)

I agree, I own this beast and it does gaming very well . Movies look great but requires complete black out room.. No ambient light or you will get wash out on screen.

I have enjoyed this machine as my dedicated full use TV / Movie and Gaming source.

I put a lot of hours each day on this machine and it works flawless.... the only draw back to EPSON projectors is their light bulbs are very very very expensive to replace and I been avg. about 6 month use at 6 hours of use per day before Bulb replacement is needed.

Depending on where you buy the bulb.... you could spend 80.00 used or 300.00 new.

That's the only complaint.
