Just bought one from you guys! My third one from Projector People.

can't wait to get mine. been waiting to see one in action. thank you

Everyone will say, "Enhancment". Looks like it actually improves image. These projectors are getting huge for home. Budget 4K...I might get one in addition to my Panasonic 8000U. I've had my eye on this one. Most content isn't close to 4K. You guys are the best.

We've just got ourselves one of these, ur first movie on it was "Pitch Black" which on the epson lived up to its name. On our previous projector, an Optoma HD33 it was more "Pitch Murky Grey".

is this a passive or active 3D? Does the 2D-3D conversion include converting a side by side 3D image into a 3D image? A lot of my Plex 3D library is in Half Side By Side 3D.

What projector screen are u using? It looks amazing on it.😁❤

Hi Dave, You spoke a little about this projector having PIP (Picture in Picture), which peaked my interest. I have a 110 inch screen. With the PIP option what size can I get the 2nd picture up to? My current projector only allows the 2nd picture up to a size of 20 inches, which is impossible to watch a 2nd sporting event (just to tiny), so the PIP option doesn't get used. I'm really hoping the 5040 will be able to make the PIP (2nd picture) 40 inches or larger. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

can you please run a xbox one s on this projector want to make sure the features are compatible before i buy.

how good is the 3d?

How are they getting 4k picture does it compare to a jvc or is it more compared to native 4k that sony makes

Just purchased the 5040 Wireless and I am only using the wireless transmitter from about 12 feet away from the projector so I am not sure if I am getting full 4k benefits from my Sony 4k dvd player sending the signal wirelessly. Al so I need some advise on a good to really good screen a relatively cheap one because I spent all my money on the projector or is there a certain kind()color, brand) of indoor paint, roller, brush I should use to cover my wall until I can afford a decent screen? Thanks in advance. Rod D.

Confused on what the 4K enhancement is exactly. Does it upscale 1080p content to "4K" using the pixel shifting... or does it only work when you send a native 4K signal and the it uses the additional resolution to then use pixel shifting to give it a near "4K" look? I know it isn't true 4K but trying to figure out if getting a UHD blu-ray player will provide an actual benefit or not with this projector. I understand that this projector will accept HDR from UHD content/gaming/etc but have heard varying reports on success handling it. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

this projector has 2 HDMI ports, are they different? wut i mean is do they both support HDR and 4k enhencement ? or only the main hdmi port supports it? thanks

I wish they would offer this in black (I know the pro version is but its a grand more) I'm debating this or the JVC420. Is there a concern about it not being 18gb like the JVC?

We just got installed and when we play movie on netflix through Roku or Apple TV its more of rectangle, more wide than tall. Whats the reason?

If you use this for streaming, how do you hook up the audio to a receiver?

Can the 5040ub be placed on a high shelf? I'm not sure if it'd need to be flipped if placed high. My ceiling is 9ft and I have a shelf around 7ft

The horizontal lens shift is listed as 47% but in the your demonstration it only moves a tiny amount. Did you move it to the extremes in this video? Maybe it was because there was vertical shift offset so it couldn't go the full 47% in the horizontal at the same time?

Nice review. How does this compare to the Sony 500es?

Could you give your screen size and throw length used here?

Will it still work if you mount it to the ceiling?

Will this work on my Xbox one? Is there a lag when you play gaming? Thank you.

I read it has 1080p chips, but with some kind of trick it displays 4k. What is the trick behind this?

Is the Xbox one s compatible now with the update? Are most of the boxes checked. Thanks

I believe this is the equivalent of the TW8300 sold in Asia. Hi I've sold a number of tw8200s and tw8300s in Singapore, but I haven't got a chance to see the TW8300 in action yet as I no longer stock in higher end units, due to market saturation. I do have a demo unit for the entry level TW5350, I'd like to know how is the frame interpolation on this model? I realise with the Epson TW5350 on default setting or lightest mode, customers tend to get a bit of "motion sickness" watching for too long. So they prefer to turn frame interpolation off. How does the interpolation on this model compare to the TW5350? I feel the noise reduction feature on the TW5200 was better, and on the whole a better projector. But I still find Panasonic's frame creation way more realistic and easy on the eye, compared to Epson. Since the AE4000 all the way to AE8000, pity panasonic no longer focuses on home theatre models.... to my knowledge.

isnt that image inhancement the same as super resolution in the older models?? It even has the same amount of steps

Not sure about the aspect ratios yet haven't had quite enough time. The movies are very much cropped just like the theatres and cable shows and HBO, Cinamax all that stuff in their recorded ratios looks good. Lots of fine tuning adjustments on this unit 6040UBe. You can spend lots of time fiddling around with it and then you can put the settings in memory for next time. Rod D.

um yeah, so are we supposed to see the dramatic effect of 4K downscaled to 1080p, then pixel-shifted back to "faux K" on a KZread feed that is only streaming in 720p?

So is this projector better than the Jvc-dla 700r and the 900r? I saw a video where this projector was rated higher. I asked another projector people near me is this projector better and they said no. so I'm confused as to why people would rate the epson so high then.

It’s going to be really close. You need exactly 10’5” from lens to screen to fill the 106" diagonal. But, you also need to take in account a little room in the back for the cables to sneak in and hook to the connections in the back. If any measurements are off, I’m afraid the image will be too small to fill the 106”.

Hello! Recently, you advised me to buy epson 7300 (I choose the projector from: epson 7300, sony45, panasonic 8000). But tw7300 among them has the lowest contrast! And in one of the reviews I read, the contrast even in low-cost dlp- projector will be better (maybe). I have no money to tw9300. Does my sense to save for tw9300, if my room was not ready and she has white walls and ceiling? Or maybe it makes sense to me to take tw9200? Its price from us, as that tw7300, but it contrasts, as in 9300! What should I buy now? 4k and hdr does not interest me. In general, I see in contrast the advantage when watching movies at night, but the room with light walls and ceiling, if the buy - tw9300 or tw9200? (Screen - 110, the distance between the projector and the screen 3.50m).

Last year, I bought an Optoma UHD60 after good reviews. It is the worst projector I've ever had. I started back with the Infocus IN72, 420hd. This Optoma has white washout on most all content, especially if it isn't 4k. Watching Netflix or anything with mixed 4k and not, is frustrating as it has to constantly search for source when content switches resolution. KZread does it all the time. Netflix trailers are not 4k, neither are the info screen for shows. You have a blank screen for several seconds while the projector figures out what to do. How is this Epson on switching between resolution? I just realized this review is 2 1/2 years ago. Sad that I am looking at an old model to replace my new one.

So you want to show 4K video "Just outside the building" As a person you go outside, where you look straight up into a tree as if God was up there! Then you go closer and closer to the tree, constantly moving, until your nose strikes the tree. And exactly in this strange position "The truth about a projector" is read, nor from a liver like in the old Babylonian empire, but from the bark of the tree! You might have taken some cinematic footage, holding the iPhone still and having the objects move around in the foreground on a mostly static background. Just like making film.
