Review on 🎥 Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K PRO-UHD Projector with HDR - Immersive Home Theater Experience by Johnny Bloomer

I'm a home cinema enthusiast, I've had several high quality projectors over the years so I was keen to try Epson's new product. I've owned a few Epson projectors, but they were mostly small, portable units designed for business use. They've always been solid and offered great performance at a reasonable price, but I haven't had one in my home theater yet - the new 4010 is my first experience and I'm definitely impressed. First surprise. For me it was the size of the box - it's a big projector. I'm used to the small Epson handhelds you throw in your luggage on a business trip. 4010 isn't that it's huge. Of course, in a home cinema environment, this doesn't matter, size doesn't matter - once you've got the projector set up you basically leave it alone. However, Epson definitely wins the award for the biggest projector I've ever owned. Once you get past the larger dimensions, you'll find that it's a far cry from the Epsons I've used in the past: the build quality, fit, and finish definitely scream "exquisite home theater" rather than "road warrior." ". Large size However, it has an obvious advantage: it is a really quiet projector. There are numerous air vents around the large body, making the fan noise barely audible even when you are sitting close to the projector. Projector size and weight. My current projector is in a 300lb motorized Da-Lite mount but I wanted to mount the 4010 without taking apart the current unit in case the Epson wasn't what I was hoping for. Instead I turned to an older ceiling mount and had no trouble installing the big Epson. Once installed, installation is fairly easy thanks to the motorized lens controls. There's a wide range of 2.1x magnification, giving you plenty of flexibility to fill the screen from different positions, and in just a few seconds I was able to get the perfect image for my screen. Most people will probably only connect HDMI 2.0 (with HDCP 2.2) to some sort of AV receiver or video switcher, although there's an older HDMI 1.4 port, as well as a VGA port for computer use. In my setup, a single HDMI cable is enough and also provides a clean install. The remote works well and appears to be of high quality, but I haven't used it since the initial setup. I have home theater equipment hooked up to a Logitech Harmony setup that allows me to use Revain Alexa to control everything and I'm happy to report that I've had no problems plugging the Epson 4010 into this setup integrate. In terms of image quality, Epson just amazed me at how good it is. All images are incredibly sharp and clear, and the HDR colors are some of the best I've seen in a cinema, regardless of the cost. Blacks are good and whites are clean and bright without the harsh artificial effect I sometimes see with other projectors. I've always been skeptical about various 4K shift technologies, but this projector convinced me that it's definitely better than any 1080p projector I've seen, and while I can't test this projector in parallel, it is At least in terms of quality, it is in no way inferior to most 4K projectors that I have heard, even if it costs a fraction of the price. Of course, like any other projector, Epson looks its best when displaying original signals at the highest quality. I have several 4K Ultra HD HDR discs and they are absolutely amazing on the Epson 4010. I would probably say these are the best pictures I have ever seen at home. But sometimes I overlook the fact that I also like how Epson works with inferior sources. My cable provider (Spectrum) seems to carry over compressed signals at a low bit rate, and yet it still looks acceptable on a 100" screen on Epson. 1.3 boosting a 100" Stewart screen in a special and rather dark 24' x 20' room. It has been professionally calibrated, installed accurately and my original hardware is some of the best so I know I have the In my back-to-back tests with Epson, I was quite surprised by the results, especially considering that this Epson projector costs less than a third of what my JVC projector cost when it was new The Epson is also noticeably brighter than my JVC and that makes a big difference too.My JVC is a wonderful projector but at 2000 lumens (probably less for a three year old lamp) it's a little underpowered.Epson at 2400 lumens is a lot better. I would like 3000-4000 lumens in a dim cinema, but 2400 lumens is enough for a screen in the 100" range. Overall, Epson has a winner that rivals most home cinema projectors, regardless of price. It i It's amazing that you can have something this quality for under $2,000 and we hope it brings amazing home theater to many more people. Theater projector, Epson has a lot to offer and unless you're willing to spend a few times more it's hard to think of a better choice. This is a product that I fully recommend.
