Home Cinema 5040UBe WirelessHD 3LCD Projector with 4K Enhancement and HDR

The 9300 is the same as the Epson 5040UB/6040UB. On the used market it still performs very well as a solid 1080p product. You do need to be aware that Europe is cutting down on traditional lamps being available for sale. This is a massive issue long term as you won't be able to get new lamps for your projector at some point. You may need to get a couple of them to keep until the projector is dead. But, the projector itself is quite good. The lens on it is amazing with extensive zoom range and lens shift. It is a LARGE projector, so don't be surprised by it. You can read tons of reviews of the 5040 from Epson that are out there. All of them are likely to be really strong about the performance.

Had a pro 2 for a few months. It’s absolutely fantastic the blacks are very good the picture is excellent, colors are very vibrant and it’s the best 3/d I’ve seen on any home projector. I have a 150 inch white screen 1.2 gain I think. Had an epson 5040 before the pro 2 and the pro 2 is far better in every way. Can’t comment on the other 2 cause I haven’t seen them in person. Good luck.

I have a Epson 5050ub, but the 5040 is just as good. I had 5040 and upgraded and didn't notice a difference. Maybe if the picture were bigger. I have a 100 inch grey screen from 10 ft away. I did buy Elite Screen ALR fabric and stapled it onto a frame I built. I love my projector and got it used on marketplace. If you want a more budget friendly projector I really liked my BenQ w1070 used I got on marketplace for like $150. My 5050ub hasn't really dropped in value since I got it a couple years back. Buy quality and buy used to save money.

I got into one for similar reasons. It was cheap and I was trying to get my HT setup to see if I would enjoy it. I splurged a bit more on the audio equipment because I wanted to feel the sound more than the picture. It worked for a couple years until I finally upgraded to an Epson 5040UB. Obviously the picture is a TON better. But it should be for like 20x the price too. I gave the cheapo to a coworker for his kids and it’s still working. They serve a purpose, they’re not the best, but I think they’re worth the asking price considering the price is less than a 1/3 of what I spend on a trip to the grocery store.

A great little video on why a screen is not always necessarily needed (going from a fairy expensive screen to just the wall) for an amazing image. https://youtu.be/Xaj-xeYFBfo?si=tdUZroN64jRzZ7Sl A darker color will absolutely make a difference for your light spillage...if you want any type of home theater experience with contrast that is quite important. I would even go as far as a carpet for in front of the screen to further reduce that light spillage. https://a.co/d/01CPuaGu If you do not want to paint your walls (which again is not for everyone) then another solution for around the screen and ceiling is this felt which almost completely eliminated all spillage... https://a.co/d/007FwbcR As far as projectors go the 'lifestyle' projectors are absolutely a fantastic product with exceptional image, brightness and clarity. I owned many Epson products including their UB line 5030UB, 5040UB and 5050UB and I have not gone back to those for a reason. JMGO has their upcoming line in the N3 Ultimate that will have optical zoom, optical lens shift and Dolby Vision making it VERY hard to beat.
