Features

Key Features

4K PRO-UHD¹ Projection Technology

Advanced processing for resolution enhancement, color, and image processing, resulting in an exceptional new 4K home theater experience.

True 3-Chip Projector Design

Advanced 3LCD technology displays 100% of the RGB color signal for every frame. This allows for an outstanding color gamut while maintaining excellent brightness, without any "rainbowing" or color brightness issues some may see with other projector technologies.

Pixel-Shift Processor

Advanced pixel-shifting processor precisely controls three high-definition LCD chips to parallel process millions of pixels of information. This new type of resolution enhancement technology¹ results in an exceptionally sharp 4K visual experience.

HDR Processor

Full 10-bit HDR² color processing accepting 100% of the HDR source information to faithfully reproduce HDR content for an exceptional visual performance.

Digital Imaging Processor

Realtime 12-bit analog-to-digital video processing for smooth tonal transitions, while helping to eliminate banding, blocking and other compression artifacts from the final visual performance. This powerful processor faithfully reproduces the source material.

Outstanding Brightness

Capable of displaying 4K content at an incredible 2,600 lumens for both color and white brightness³. This not only provides for a wider performance envelope, but allows for an exceptional HDR performance.

Other Features

Epson UltraBlack^™ Technology — Epson created a Proprietary Compensation Filter that controls the polarization of light itself. This allows Epson to suppress any stray light within the signal, producing an outstanding Dynamic Contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

Precision HDR Adjustment — Realtime HDR curve adjustment allowing for 16-steps of control to fine-tune the HDR performance – regardless of the content being displayed.

Extreme Color Gamut — One of the first commercially available home theater projectors capable of displaying the full three-dimensional DCI-P3⁴color space. This extreme color performance is 50% wider than typical 1-Chip Rec. 709 projectors and allows for a truly professional level of color accuracy.

Epson Precision Lens Technology — Designed for zero-light-leakage, all Epson Precision Lenses utilize a proprietary 15-element precision glass structure for outstanding image clarity and edge-to-edge focus uniformity.
