We purchased this product and was not disappointed. The wireless connection works great if setup and placed properly. Picture quality is amazing. The adjustable screen size feature makes it easy to setup the picture perfectly to our screen. Overall I would recommend this for anyone looking for a quality home theater. Very quiet projector. Just a note that this is a larger than average size projector because it delivers quality images.

Difficult to get the wireless transmitter to work (at all) or with a receiver.

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2021

Style: Home Cinema 5050UBe 4K PRO-UHD WirelessVerified Purchase

The wireless link is terrible. I have the transmitter 10 feet clear line of site to the projector. I get about 60% signal strength. To get it to work with my receiver I have to plug everything into the HDMI transmitter box instead of my receiver. This is no big deal, but it took me a while to get the volume to work. I had to use the wireless transmitter for video, then feed an HDMI cable out to my receiver. This was not a big deal, just not what I was used to. So now every time I change what I am watching on my fire stick, the whole transmitter box resets and I have to wait about 30 seconds for the link to reestablish. That is annoying… about every 2 hours I need to power cycle the transmitter box because the wireless link just cuts out and refuses to reestablish. Please save the money and go with the regular projector, not the wireless one. It will save you a lot of aggravation. Other than that the projector is great.

Very good picture quality

Style: Home Cinema 5050UBe 4K PRO-UHD WirelessVerified Purchase

I bought the 5050UBe model to replace the 5040UBe model while you can still get a projector that plays 3-d blue rays. It is brighter than the 5040 model and the picture looks more detailed. I think that it does a better job with 3-d. I am using it on a 153 inch diagonal 2.35 x1 Elite screen. I can quickly go from that ratio to 16/9 by pressing 1 button. It remembers the blanking settings

Burning smell

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022

Style: Home Cinema 5050UBe 4K PRO-UHD WirelessVerified Purchase

I first started to notice anusual smell coming from the epson projector 5050ube like a chemical oder. My call Epson customer support told on my concerns about the projector emitting a foul smell and they sent me a replacement, after few weeks I started to smell same foul odor coming from the replacement Epson projector so I call customer service again and praying about the unusual older and again they send me another projector this time they upgraded the projector to a epson projector 6050ub…once I noticed the same smell coming out from the third epson projector. There's definitely a serious problem with these epson projectors. I'm going to call Epson customer service once again and have them do a buyback. I mean it's getting to the point where it's making me sick from headaches and breathing problems. I strongly believe the smell that are coming from these projectors is the high heat emitting from the lamp inside the projector I'm considering buying a lazer projector that dont heat up. I strongly recommend buying these Epson projectors if you have a breathing problem or if you have a sensitive smell.

Great Picture Quality. Awful wireless performance on ube model.

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019

Style: Home Cinema 5050UBe 4K PRO-UHD WirelessVerified Purchase

I have no reason to go into great detail about the picture quality. It is amazing. However, I am very disappointed in the wireless performance. Since my Denon receiver doesn't support the latest HDMI standards I am forced to use the wireless transmitter to get 4k performance. Unfortunately, the wireless connection takes over a minute to connect and is very unstable, i.e. it constantly disconnects and could take minutes to get back and the only way to do it is to switch inputs to force it to try and reconnect. It is very frustrating.
To sum up. The picture quality on all sources using wireless (when it works) is outstanding and 5 star all the way. Wireless connectivity, which i paid $300 extra to get, is dismal, 1 star – not because the picture isn't great, but because it is unstable and frustrating to deal with. Worse – The transmitter is located only 10 feet away from the projector.

I love my new projector! You will, too!

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020

Style: Home Cinema 5050UBe 4K PRO-UHD WirelessVerified Purchase

I replaced a decade old 1080p Epson projector with the 5050UBe. The old projector was great so I stuck with Epson. But I'm still amazed when I watch movies with the new projector. Projectors have definitely come a long way since I last bought one. Picture is nearly as good as an LCD flat screen TV, and almost as bright. Thanks to HDR, colors pop! Contrast is great with very good black levels. 3D also works as well as going to the theater. Even the wireless HDMI works great although I don't like that it takes about 5 seconds to sync after you change sources. But once it locks in, I haven't had any drop outs. And of course much easier than running a new 35 foot HDMI cable through my attic which would have costs nearly as much as the wireless HDMI. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and definitely recommend this projector.
