    I want to point out that this is my first home cinema projector and wow this is an amazing projector. It produces beautiful, bright images. Approximately 11 feet away, I am projecting on a 100-inch screen without an issue. The projector does support 4k signals, but it isn’t “true” 4k. The HDR features are limited to 4k30. I have movies nights with my young daughters, and watching movies in 3D (Frozen), I must say it is like being in an IMAX 3D movie. We were playing games from the PS4 pro without any issues, lag, or anything else. The performance is breathtaking. I forgot to point out that the blacks are very nice!! The projector is overall almost silent. I don’t even hear it while it has been on for some time. From out of the box to setup, took very little amount of time (I already had the HDMI and network cables installed). With my previous statement that this is my first home cinema projector, I was shocked by the LARGE footprint that this projector has. I have it set on one of my wall shelving. With this being my first projector, my daughters and I are very pleased with this! We love our movie nights and able to play games on the big screen.

    I have always enjoyed home theater, but I have found myself falling into a peculiar pattern over the last decade or so. I would buy a TV, and LOVE it.... for about six months before I started researching the next best thing. I needed more size, then I needed more resolution. Buy, research, buy, research. It wasn't long before I realized that I needed the flexibility, and sheer image size of a projector. This for the most part ended the vicious cycle. Until 4K showed up. Is the Epson Home Cinema 4000 the projector to finally end the cycle of always feeling like I need something more? I believe it is. Read on to find out more on why. I would like to add a few quick notes about my experience with projectors to this point as they are my basis for comparison with the Epson Home Cinema 4000. I started with the BenQ W770ST at 720p. It had good build quality, and put out a nice image, but at only 80" I was immediately apparent that the resolution wasn't high enough. I also found out that I was highly susceptible to the "Rainbow Effect" (RBE) associated with DLP projection technology. In the end this projector was not for me. That led me to the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2000 at 1080p. It has an excellent build quality with a picture to match, and its 3LCD projection technology doesn't produce RBE. I knew when I was ready to make the jump to 4K that it would be with an Epson 3LCD projector. When the day finally came and I opened the box for my new projector it was immediately apparent that I was stepping things up in every way. For starters the projector is HUGE! So much so in fact that I was unable to use it in the same room as my last projector. It's physical size dominated the ceiling of the small room, and it couldn't quite match the short throw of the Epson Home Cinema 2000. This beast needs room to breathe. It was because of this that I decided to set it up in our converted garage where there was more space to work with. The unit is ceiling mounted, and is projecting from approximately 12 feet on to a 100" screen. My suggestions for setup would be to consider your available space carefully. Make sure you have a sturdy mount that locks down position well, and preferably uses 4 points for attachment instead of just 3. There is some very helpful information in the online user's manual that will help you determine projection distance, and placement. Also mounting the projector is a two person job. Plan accordingly! All you have to do is get the projector mounted reasonably close, and you can make your final adjustments to the image using the excellent lens adjustment features all on the included backlit remote. This includes picture size, location, focus, and keystone. There is a lot of flexibility here, and it left me very impressed. Now it was time for the fun part. Testing! With a press of the power button the lens cover automatically opens (this is so cool), and you are ready to go. The first thing I noticed is that this very large projector is.....quiet. Very quiet. Much more so than my Epson Home Cinema 2000. The larger size means a larger fan which in turn means less noise. I was pleasantly surprised by this. My test were conducted using a Samsung soundbar setup via HDMI, a Comcast HD cable box outputting at 1080p via HDMI, and an Xbox One S via HDMI for its ability to play 4K Ultra Blu Rays, and stream 4K Netflix. To put it simply this projector is STUNNING. Of course the results are heavily dependent on your source material. Taking this into account things like cable tv have never looked better with the upscale to 4K, and it only gets better from there. Netflix in 4K is amazing. I was immediately noticing details from my favorite shows that I had never seen before. And then the main feature. Planet Earth II on 4K Ultra Blu Ray with HDR. This was simply BREATHTAKING. It's honestly more than I could have hoped for. HDR is the true star of the show here. While it is true that this is a 1080p native projector with 4K enhancement I am here to say that it is worth every penny. There is no reason to spend thousands of dollars more for native 4K. Again, the picture is simply incredible here. The projector has plenty of picture modes, and enhancements to play around with, and the bulb can operate in three power consumption modes that will affect its overall life span. These are ECO, Medium, and High. So far I have kept it on medium, and been very satisfied. The projector also deals very well with ambient light, and I have had no problems getting a bright and crisp image day or night. The only thing that I can really criticize here is the price of a replacement bulb which currently sits at about $299.99 although that is not out of the ordinary for a projector of this caliber. It's just a little jarring coming from the Epson Home Cinema 2000 with its $99 bulbs. To conclude this review I want to say that this projector is simply amazing. If you are on a budget check out something like the Epson Home Cinema 2040. If you want the best bang for your buck in a 4K projector to date then you've found it in the Epson Home Cinema 4000. Don't waste thousands of your hard earned dollars on the alternatives before you see for yourself what this thing can do! It has finally broken my vicious cycle of always feeling like i'm missing out on something, and wanting more. I am confident that it will exceed the expectations of a vast majority of the people who buy it. I would like to finish with a HUGE thanks to Epson for this wonderful piece of technology.

    Epson Home Cinema 4000 with 4 k Enhancement (2017 model) This Projector creates a new standard in the Home theater realm it is on par with High end 4k projectors in image quality and brightness at less than a third of the cost! When I received this unit for review I was surprised at it size and weight compared to previous Epson projectors. The design is aesthetically pleasing unlike earlier industrial designs. The system uses a new lensing system with fully motorized focus, zoom, position adjustment and keystone adjustment. The 4k enhancement uses pixel shifting technology and 2,200 lumens rated light output and a 3 chip LCD engine to support HDR 10 and 100% DCI-P3 color range. The projector accepts full 4k UHD input. Epson uses Ultra Black technology to enhance the black levels with up to 140,000:1 contrast ratio. That this all means to you is the picture is fantastic! This projector supports screens up to 300 inches wide. Oh did I mention that this projector will also upscale 1080p resolution that exceeds full HD! The projector is very quiet even in full brightness mode. The internal fans still keep the projector pretty cool during use. This makes it ideal for Home theater use. Features A cool feature is HDMI link, allowing the controller to import the control setting of a connected device with a push of a button on the remote. This feature even worked with my Amazon FireTV. Speaking of the remote it is full featured and can control all of the settings of the projector. There is a control panel on the projector on the left front side so you can adjust setting without the remote. As I mentioned above the lens can be adjusted remotely, this is a great feature and a big convenience compared to lower level projectors. This projector is 3D capable, you will need to purchase active 3D glasses from Epson or an aftermarket supplier. Connectivity As for connectivity the Projector has 2 HDMI input ports (1x HDMI 2.2 and 1XHDMI 1.4). There is a 300ma power port for those aficionados that may want to use Optical HDMI. There is an USB port for service updates and USB accessories (most commonly the wireless Epson dongle sold separately for $99). There is an Ethernet port for network connectivity and a PC VGA input. The ports are rounded out by a RS232 and trigger port for wired control. One thing missing is a separate audio output. New AV receivers use HDMI, if you need separate audio out from your device you will have to connect with Bluetooth or buy a HDMI to HDMI and audio (optical and 3.5mm analog stereo) splitter. There are a few that support HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 video pass through. I found one from AV access and another from Vanco on Amazon. Support and Warranty This projector is covered by a 2 year manufacturer warranty with Epson Priorityline® toll free support. I called the support line and got right through to a support specialist. Bulbs are covered for 90 days. Support page and utilities https://epson.com/Support/Projectors/Cinema-Series/Epson-Home-Cinema-4000/s/SPT_V11H715120. You can download a lot o cool utilities here as well as mobile apps for IOS and Android. Just a note comparing the New Home cinema 4000 to the Home cinema 5040UB for about $300 more you get 2500 lumens vs 2200 and 1,000,000:1 instead of 140,000:1 contrast ratio otherwise the rest of the features and even appearance are the same. The 5040UB would only be a better choice if you want to view 4k content in high light environment. I highly recommend this projector it is quiet and has a fantastic image quality.

    Absolutely an incredible improvement over my prevoius 1080p Epson projector! After I updated the firmware for the new HDR settings, the picture is as good or better than on my Samsung Q7 Qled 4k TV! Displaying on my 133” inch screen in my dedicated theater room in the basement, my wife no longer wants to watch movies on the 55 4k TV. She absolutely loves the 3d quality also! For the sale price, this projector is such an incredible value!

    4K and HDR, with some Asterisks

    I'm going to start out by saying that I love this projector. The picture it puts out is amazing and way beyond anything I was expecting. I never experienced such a large picture in my own home and having 4K* and HDR* (more on those later) makes a good projector even better. I will start out by saying this thing is an absolute beast. It's about 20in wide x 18in long and weighs around 25 lbs. You'd better have a solid mount or shelf to put this thing on. I ended up buying some brackets and shelf from home depot and mounting it to the studs in my room. For ports, you get 2 HDMI, 1 VGA, USB, and a LAN port. Only one of the HDMI port is 2.0/HDCP 2.2 compatible, so for any 4K or HDR content you are viewing that's the one you'll want to use. For my purposes I am only using HDMI1 and running that out to my receiver and I suspect that will be the use case for most other people too. The initial configuration and setup was pretty easy. I have this in a pretty small room, but from about 7-8 feet away I'm able to project an 80 inch screen on my wall. From there, the menus get a little more complicated. It's important to note that there's only one picture mode on the projector that supports HDR and that's Digital Cinema, so you'll want to leave it set on that and change the other settings as needed from there. I cannot describe how good the picture this thing puts out is. It looked amazing just on my off-white wall and looked even better once I got the screen setup. The 4K picture quality from my Xbox One S is very crisp and detailed. Technically this projector natively outputs at 1080p, but uses some kind of pixel shifting technology to achieve 4K. I don't quite understand what's going on there, but the picture looks great regardless. As with any projector, this is going to work best in a room that you can remove ambient light from, ideally a basement. I have it in one of my upstairs rooms and it looks pretty good even with some ambient light coming in through the windows. Still, I'm investing in some blackout curtains for the long term. My biggest problem with this projector is the HDR. It took a lot of fiddling with my Xbox One S, receiver, and the projector just to get the signal to transmit it at all. This projector can only handle HDR10; that's fine since that's all anything you buy out there is going to put out at this point, but it will only handle HDR10 content at 24Hz over a 4:2:2 signal. This pretty much limits me to watching only 4K Blu Ray movies in HDR, at least on my Xbox One S, and that was only after enabling the correct settings. The Netflix app will not display content in HDR since that all runs at 50 or 60 Hz. I imagine that is the case with most other apps on the Xbox One S and other devices. This is a huge letdown for me. Granted, it took me a few days to even realize I was not getting HDR images, but this should be able to at least receive a wider range of images and convert them as needed. Maybe it's some kind of hardware limitation, but to me putting the HDR label on this is a bit of misnomer because there is such a narrow range of sources that will even display it. Maybe Epson can fix this in the future. I still love this thing. I'm disappointed about the HDR, but it looks great regardless. I will definitely be watching all my movies on this now.

    Awesome home projector

    The Epson Home Cinema 4000 is by far the best performing home projector I have seen. This is my second projector to own, my first was an off brand that was only usable in a dark room. The Epson doesn’t have this problem, it is bright at 2200 lumens. Daytime viewing is possible even on the “ECO” lamp setting. At nighttime I found myself turning the brightness down, it is almost too bright! Part of my issue is the fact I am running it relatively close to my screen at 12’ away or half of the recommended distance. I don’t have a very large screen (only 80”) so I had to put it closer than would be ideal. A trade off is the screen is brighter, but the picture is still sharp and colors remained vibrant. The optical lens adjustment allowed me to run it this close and the lens was easy to adjust with the remote or on the projector itself. The projector also features lens and calibration memory settings for recalling your perfect setup for a given distance and screen. If you aren’t going to mount the on ceiling, be sure you have a dedicated spot as this is a large projector (18”x20”x7”), as are most home theater projectors of this caliber. A huge plus for me is the fan. In ECO mode the fan is practically silent, but kicks up when running dynamic colors. The fan noise is audible when running Medium or High power modes, but the noise is comparable to other projectors in this range if not quieter. My only issue with the projector is the brightness, however, I can’t fault the projector for the shortcomings of my own setup (relatively small 80” screen and short throw). The projector is 4k capable, but from what I have read it is using pixel shift for sudo 4k projection. I haven’t tested any 4k video yet, but the upscaling of 1080p content looks phenomenal. I also tested a few PS4 games with HDR and found the picture to be better quality than my TV while still maintaining low latency. I recommend this projector for someone looking to upgrade their current setup or wanting to have their very own high-end home theater experience.

    Extremely happy with this projector no regrets coupled with elite 120h screen for impressive 2k picture, it's not full 4k but does very good job with good sources, suggest control light for best results, sale price of $1999 was well worth it for big screen viewing, quiet fan and is plenty of lumens especially if control room lighting, excellent color and picture except for most discriminating viewers, haven't used my 70" 2k tv since bought it, love the huge picture, 3d not bad depends on the source but always seems that way no matter what tv is used, usually would rather watch in hd rather than 3d, also like the motorized picture adjustment makes it worth the extra money over manual adjustments any day

    Great Upgrade from Entry Level Projectors

    The setup for the Samsung - Epson Home Cinema 4000 3LCD Projector with 4K Enhancement and HDR wasn’t challenging. I deal with projectors daily at my workplace but even if I didn’t, everything is clearly labeled and a quick start guide is available to get you up and running fast. This projector needs an external audio source, such as a soudbar, and it doesn’t come with any cables other than the power cord. Cables you may consider getting are an HDMI 4K ready cable (Best Buy’s Insignia brand words great) and an optical cable to connect to your soundbar. Some of the features of this projector include 3D viewing (requires Epson or Epson compatible active RF 3D glasses), 4K resolution and HDR10, though not the Dolby Vision HDR as per Epson customer support. Another feature that is always great to have is the ability to send your PC/Mac image wirelessly to the projector, if you connect it to your home network. This projector’s performance is outstanding. The same day it arrived, I was expecting a pull-down white screen. However, the projector arrived first. In my haste, I made a makeshift white screen with a bedsheet and a backdrop support that I use for green screen video edits. On that, it looked amazing. Within an hour, my white screen arrived. I was impressed even more on an actual white screen. The projector itself isn’t loud but does generate quite a bit of heat. This Epson Home Cinema 4000 exceeds my expectations. I connected mine to an Xbox One S, which is 4K compatible. I purchased the movie, “Passengers” in 4K. My wife, at first, couldn’t tell the difference between 4K HDR and what we already had. It wasn’t until the movie reached a dark scene with bright colors that my wife literally said, “Wow, I can see the difference.” She sat through the whole movie in awe of the imagery. After the film, I upgraded my Netflix account so that I can watch 4K content, which is 11.99 a month, just two more dollars than your regular plan. Upon opening the Netflix App on my Xbox One S, the app immediately recognized my new plan and I could search for 4K HDR content. Netflix recommends that you have an internet speed of at least 25 Mbps down for you to be able to stream 4K content. At 100 Mbps down, I had no issue watching Daredevil in 4KHDR. The last thing I tried was video gaming. Of course, the Xbox One S doesn’t support 4K gaming, but it does support HDR in a few games. Namely, I tried Forza Horizon Sports 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda, both of which support HDR. It was an amazing experience seeing the colors come to life on a video game that I thought it couldn’t look any better. I feel it’s more noticeable when your game puts you in dark scenes, like driving your car at night or exploring dimly-lit corridors. If you are serious about having a home cinema, then the price for the projector in terms of value is high, but worth the investment. Keep in mind that you do need an alternate audio source like a soundbar and provide your own 4K ready HDMI cable and possibly an optical cable. I highly recommend this product for people who want to replicate a theatre and have the space for it. This projector is not easily portable, as its 7 ½ inches in height and 22 inches in width, so make sure that where you want to put it can fit those dimensions with room for the machine to vent. It isn’t loud but does get warm on the left side, where the vent exit is. If you have limited space in your home but still plan on purchasing this projector, it is possible to resize the screen to a smaller size. Overall, great purchase for cinephiles.

    Excellent Home Theater Projector For 4K Content

    "I might not ever want to go to the movies again." was what my wife told me after we finished watching a movie with this projector. I have a pretty decent 4K tv with HDR that honestly looks pretty darn good, but nothing beats watching a movie on a big screen, I have a protable screen I can set up in my living room to use a projector on. fully extended it is about 100 inches. Setup was incredibly simple and the instructions it came with are great. took me about 15 minutes to set up get into focus and start watching movies. I put in a couple of 4K movies and was wowed by what I saw the colors and details were magnificent. black levels were very good and the bright highlights also looked great. I am very happy with the picture quality. If you are looking for an excellent projector to watch movies at home but dont want to spend 5 or 6k for a higher end model, this Epson projector will work great. Highly recommended!!

    Only one word describes this projector: Wow. I just bought a new house with a large media room and I really wanted to do a projector. Enter the Epson Home Cinema 4000, a machine that can deliver up to a 25 foot picture and has 4Ke and HDR that won’t break the bank. The first thing you will notice is that it is big and heavy. This isn’t what you’d find in your typical business conference room. Due to its size, you’ll need to give thought as to how you want to mount this thing. For my application, I mounted it on top of a large entertainment center which has been repurposed for my Bluray storage. It also generates a lot of heat, so it needs to be placed in a location with adequate airflow. The vents are on the front. To the right side of the lens is an air intake and an exhaust on the opposite side. The intake has a little door that allows access to the air filter which should be changed periodically. The projector will warn you if you fail to take care of the filter and the temperatures becomes too extreme. Regarding maintenance it also has a lamp timer which will inform you when it is time to replace the lamp. Once you get it mounted you can adjust the focus and zoom with the remote. Yes, it is powered, there is no need to manually adjust these on the projector itself, which is a really nice feature for a projector in this price range. Another nice touch is the lens cover that automatically slides open and closed with the projector power. It will natively output a resolution of 1920x1080 at a 16:9 ratio. This is the same as your typical widescreen TV. Wait, 1920x1080, you ask? Isn’t this a 4K projector? This is where the 4Ke or “4K Enhanced” as Epson calls it comes in. The way it works is the projector displays a 1080p image and then it rapidly shifts its lens so that it produces another set of pixels that are slightly offset from the native image. This process alternates and is so fast your eye cannot see it. In the end, there are not as many pixels as true 4K but double that of 1080p. The effect works well and since my seating is about 12 feet from the wall I don’t think I could even perceive the extra pixels of a true 4K projector. Performance is outstanding, especially at this cost. I feel like I’m in an actual theater. I paired some active 3D glasses I had from an older Samsung TV with it and watched the Avengers (2012) in 3D. It was just as I remembered when I saw the same movie in the theater. I have it set up on my wall at about 120". The large screen size and high resolution really immerse you in what you are watching, no matter what it is. I watched live action, animated, gaming, even some old TV shows from the 80's in SD and they all looked fantastic. The 4K upscaling works really well independent of what the source is. I don't have a UHD Bluray player yet so to test 4K content I used YouTube and Netflix. Typically streaming services will suffer from "banding", which is an artifact of video compression where you can see the color changes in dark scenes as "striped gradients". This projector does a very good job of minimizing or eliminating that effect. Streaming sources at 1080p or 4K were very impressive. Sadly, despite my love for Blurays I can see how a streaming only future is inevitable. All in all, this projector is the one to have for almost any home theater room and will surely impress your friends, especially those who who have not adopted 4K yet. My next steps are some new speakers and a professionally mounted screen!

    Going from a standard 1080p projector to the Epson Home Cinema 4000 with 4k enhancement and high dynamic range (HDR) was such a noticeable upgrade in picture quality that no avid home theater connoisseur on a budget and trying to avoid the prices of full 4k projectors should even think twice about. The picture is incredibly clear using a HD source, such as a gaming console or streaming stick, displayed on a matte white 100" screen. The 2200 lumens are enough to watch anything on it with lights on or windows uncovered. The on-screen user interface/menu for settings was very easy to use and tune to whatever you have displayed. It has two HDMI inputs as well as an optical HDMI 300mA connection, a USB, LAN and PC connection. It has a motorized lens and shutter that opens and closes when in use. One drawback is there is no on-board speaker for sound which I actually was using on my last projector. The projector itself is quite large and heavy however you would also sacrifice quality for size therefore this is a higher end projector compared to the more compact portable types; this should be mounted on the ceiling because forget about moving it around or traveling with it. The remote somehow automatically paired to the streaming stick I plugged in which was a pleasant surprise; I'm not sure what other specific devices this would work on. I also had to use a HDMI splitter in order to hook more HDMI sources up to it but most receivers have that option now. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a home theater projector because you definitely shouldn't regret it, you definitely get what you pay for.

    Definitely worth the investment. Great picture with great contrast and good illumination even with ambient lighting on. Matched this with a 150” Elite screen for great movie events with the family. Changes the whole movie night experience. Automated lense adjustment with auto zoom functions was a huge plus. You can really offset the projector and still adjust for a perfect picture. At 18’ away I easily project a perfect 150” picture. Keystone function allows you to project at a 30 degree offset from center with no problem. I coupled the projector with a Bluetooth hub that plugs into the back of the projector for the elimination of running an extremely long HDMI cable from my receiver.

    I purchased this projector after hours and hours of research. I needed to replace an 8 year old Optima HD20. It was a difficult decision to spend $2K for this projector versus $500 - $800 for a standard 1080P projector. What the research told me is that I would notice the difference on a 100" screen. And the research was right! The picture is noticeably better on this device. The image is crisper, brighter and I can really see how the improved contract ratio makes a difference. The only negative is it's size (it is a hog on my ceiling) but the lens shift option allowed me to adjust the image perfectly. It's all motorized...no manual adjustments needed. It only took one viewing of SING to be sold. Love it! You won't be dissapointed. Note - the marketing folks want you to spend big $$$ on new cables. The HDMI cables I purchased 3 years ago still work just fine.

    I stayed over 40 days looking for information on the Optoma UHD60, Epson 5040 and Epson 4000 projectors. I was very determined to buy the UHD60 because it was 4K Native, after a few reviews readings from various forums and websites I started to change my mind . I saw several people complaining about the poor quality of the Optoma UHD60, defects in ventilation, delay in servicing, problems with automatic adjustment of resolutions (1080 / 4k) and lack of horizontal lens hits. I saw some comments on Amazon from people who bought the UHD60 and regretted and advised them to purchase the Epson 4000. The Epson 4000 is really the best value for money compared to the Epson 5040, the biggest difference is the Contrast, but it's not worth it. difference to be paid. The image of the Epson 4000 is sensational, we know that it is not 4K native, but it is an execelente 4ke, vivid colors, great brightness and contrast. I was wondering if it would really be worth just replacing my Epson 3500 with the Epson 4000 (for not being 4K native), the answer is YES, worth every penny paid. Below is a picture of my test projection (not yet installed on the ceiling), almost factory original configuration (Dynamic mode), generated by APPLE TV 4k HDR 30 Hz using Insignia cable 4k 18Gb, does not work above 30 Hz, I think not be the cable, if someone can get HDR with Apple TV, please signal below.

    Didnt think the faux 4k would make much of a difference over my 1080p projector but it really does, its basically 2k, and it has much crisper details and clarity when watching 4k content. Lens shift is amazing as well. well worth the money...

    After researching projectors for a while trying to decide between native 4k DLP and eShift LCD, I was afraid of the documented rainbow effect on the DLP. I seem to notice these types of issues more often than some people. My new space has complete lighting control so I went with the 4000 and i must say after a short time using it is fantastic. The projector was easy to set up and adjust with a really good picture, i really do not know how much better it could be with the more expensive models. 120 inch screen and it is extremely clear and bright right out of the box, after a few adjustments for personal preference it is truly amazing. I would recommend to anyone who has a space that is light controlled. I will say that the projector is big so make sure the mounting point in ceiling is either strong or reinforced to hold the weight, the placement is pretty easy with the lens shifting options to center the picture.

    This is my third projector for use in family rooms. It’s much larger than the 1080p BenQ and 720p Optoma DLP projectors that I owned previous to it. With the size, however, comes a lot of nice features not included with the smaller competitors at the same price. In particular the quality of the lens and the motorized lens functions are very nice. I’m on the fence with the auto-iris - another feature not usually in this price range. It works, but is slow and to my eye it’s distracting. My wife and kids probably don’t notice and it can help. It is very quiet compared to past projectors I’ve owned, probably in part due to the large case, even at its highest output. No issues pulling up an HDR signal from my Apple TV 4K. I probably enjoy the motorized lens the most; my job requires moving a lot, and constantly setting this projector up in different settings. It is extremely flexible in terms of throw-distance and placement options. Yes, it’s not a true native 4K signal, but with the acoustic screen I’m using I’m not sure one could tell the difference anyways. It looks fantastic. Plenty fast for games on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox for my kids. Certainly not the best projector, but definitely a step up among its peers in its price class and a newer version of this projector at the same price was recently released and should be even better.

    Replaced a 70" Vizio 4k TV with this projector and even though this projector isn't a "true" 4k projector, you really can't tell a difference between a 4k TV and this projector. I have it in a room with lots of ambient light during the day projecting from about 18ft away onto a custom made fixed screen using Elite screen cinegray 5d material and the picture is entirely watchable. Is it as bright as a TV during the day with ambient light? No, but using a gray screen helps with the darks and this projector is plenty bright to light up the screen. I recommend this projector highly as long as your expectations are kept in check with what you can achieve when using in ambient light. In a light controlled environment, this projector absolutely rocks! Extremely detailed picture with vibrant colors. Netflix 4k on a huge screen is jaw dropping.
