Great picture/gaming, but RBE and no lens shift are dealbreakers.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
TL;DR: Great value with huge lens shift, but outdated lamp tech and poor HDR.

acidfly46I went to Best Buy Magnolia recently and saw a demo of a Spider-Man movie on the 5050 and on a 6k Sony projector. The 5050 looked great for the price
afroman787I have a 5050ub and was thinking of upgrading to a nz700. Worth it? Noticeable?

Sorry Epson projector 5050UB 4K pro HD
altaskingI have a 5050ub. Does it have the same 3D capabilities as your 6050ub?
AmbitiousUse8787I have the 5050UB. It is excellent and remains so even after 3500 hrs on the original bulb. I recently purchased a Hisense PX3 Pro UST for another room, and it doesnt match the Epson for filmic look. Also black levels aee better on Epson.
andychapman1If only the 5050 would stop going up in price. I almost pulled the trigger on one for 2500 at one point but figured it would continue to go down in price. Boy was I wrong itās up to 3700 now and I just canāt understand how a 6 year old electronic device has just continued to cost more.

Superb 4K/120Hz gaming and no RBE, but requires calibration.

Budget king, durable with good image, but RBE can be distracting.

Excellent 1080p contrast and quiet gaming, but low brightness for big screens.
