Epson Home Cinema 5010 3D Projector Video Review

We seem to be hitting a lot of projectors this year, but it's no surprise since most manufacturers are releasing new 3D models that can do justice to the newest 3D Blu-ray movies. The Home Cinema 5010 is Epson's 1080p 3D projector that targets the enthusiast... make that the premier enthusiast. The 5010 is the highest model in Epson's Home Cinema lineup and it's designed to produce the richest blacks, the highest contrast ratios and the most detailed picture possible. We utilize the company's 9700UB, which is the professional model of the 8700UB, which this projector replaces. The 5010 ups the output of its predecessor to 2400 lumens. Now while we don't typically need that much light in home theaters, in 3D mode you lose a significant amount of the brightness due to the way the glasses are constantly closing and opening over each eye. With 2400 lumens and custom calibration options for 3D, Epson takes care of that and lets you calibrate the set for optimal 3D performance.

@jimijackson So, you want us to include moving video of the movies projecting on a projector screen... Captured in 1080p and then cross-sampled by YouTube to a 720p video and dithered? That sounds like a bad idea to us, but I'd welcome seeing one done this way if you have the time and inclination.

Hi, Is the 3D good on 5010?

HEY nice review, i dont know whether to get the 200,000:1 ratio, or the cheaper 40,000:1 ratio. is there much different? can some one please tell me

Great video. Don't listen to these people wanting examples. They can go get a demo from a local dealer if they are that interested. Any video of the projector functioning would not show what it is capable of.

and ignore the guy saying your rude. Obviously they don't visit the forums.

@AudioholicsLIVE you may aswell have made a written review. whats the point of not showing it in action? ofcourse nothing will do complete justice to the product. but it will give an indication in addition to how you are describing it.

. thats my two cents anyway :) take it as constructive criticism. its cool when a reviewer can offer their opinion and do it illustratively. search "Epson MovieMate 85HD, Home Cinema 8350 and Home Cinema 8700 UB Compared "

As a viewer I got message:

"I grumble to much, and to fast so if do not understand me, just watch it one more time."

Quite unpleasend and rude. Maybe next time you could talk slower.
