OEM from Myprojectorlamps.com.

Unfortunately, Epson's response was this: "Unfortunately the issue you are describing points towards an unrecoverable internal error and the unit may be in need of repair or replacement." My first 5040 had an "unrecoverable internal error" and they replaced the unit with a refurbished model...

It didn't. I do ECO mode for SDR and Full Power mode for HDR. Doesn't seem to be switching on its own. Though my Sony X800 4K player rebooted itself and restored all the factory settings. Now it won't output HDR from any of the streaming services. Used to output it just fine before. Mercury in...

It's hard to tell based on the menus and test patterns of the projector alone. They seem ok, but hard to tell if they are dimmer than before. Watching discs I know well (and streaming shows), I'm noticing that the image is darker AND with a slight green tinge that wasn't there before. Gonna try...

Thanks for that, Mark. I'm gonna check.

I'm gonna try replacing the HDMI cable. I need to get a 25ft cable. Any recommendations for the 5040? Fiber? Want to get the best, strongest signal possible to see if that makes a difference. Suggestions?

This has probably been addressed earlier, but there are so many pages, I can't seem to find it. So... 5040UB, have had it for a few years. Always looks amazing. Within the last year, the image has gotten noticeably darker. I assumed it was the bulb (2414 hrs) so I finally changed that out 2 days...

A Blu-ray release of a 4K transfer is not the same quality as a 4K release of a 4K transfer. Add HDR-10 and Dolby Vision and you're talking about an entirely different color palette. The difference is quite large most of the time (some titles gain more than others). The detail, the blacks, the...

I have to agree with the comment of this not looking like film. So far. I'm only partway into Fellowship (extended) and my immediate impression was, yes, the colors and detail are magnificent. 4K and HDR take it to a whole new level. AND... I was still disturbed by how digital and non-film-like...

I have a friend who is looking to install a large screen (140 or 150 diagonal) and projector in a professional art gallery. This isn't a business with a lot of money and so I'm looking for suggestions on inexpensive screens and projectors that are still good enough to make this happen. At the...

I agree. SBFSB is one of my all-time favorite musicals. Been hoping for this release for a long time. AND cinema is a reflection of and a commentary on our society, our culture. I think the growth that is happening in our country right now in terms of awareness of misogyny and patriarchy is...

Not sure if this problem has been mentioned before, but my 5040UB seems to suddenly be having a problem recognizing HDR signals from my Sony X800 4K Blu-ray player. The projector has worked flawlessly for months, now all of a sudden when I put a 4K HDR disc in, the Epson reads it as SDR...

I actually really like this film. Also a big fan of CORALINE which I think is a better film, but PARANORMAN I found to be a whole lot of fun and the animation design I found to be extraordinary. Fantastic detail and textures and the look of the characters and production design. I found it to be...

Seems like Amazon cancelled a lot of orders. Everyone I know that ordered months ago via Amazon (like myself) got a cancellation notice. I had to scramble to get friends in Seattle to grab a copy for me from Scarecrow Video who only had 3 copies in stock. Don't know if this was an Amazon screw...

Hard for me to imagine going back to the Superbit DVD. The UHD is the best I've seen this film look since I saw it upon its initial release at the National Theater in Westwood. This is the closest the color-timing has come to my memory of the theatrical screening. Though memory is not to be...

Does anyone know if any of the streaming services steam HDR at 24Hz 4:2:2. This seems to be the only way my Epson will take streaming HDR.

I've been using the 30FTv2.0 - 30ft High Speed HDMI Cable w/ Ethernet from Visual Apex, which I'm assuming is not certified. That said, I did a firmware upgrade on the Sony and it seems to be working at the moment. Tried the Revenant 4k disc several times and it seems to be consistently reading...

I haven't, but that's my next step. Thanks. Will let you know.

I just bought the X800 and hooked it up to my Epson 5040UB. Both are capable of HDR10, yet it seems intermittent that the HDR signal goes through. I put on THE REVENANT 4K. I checked the Epson and it was listing the color signal as 2020 SDR. I ejected the disc, put it back in, hit play, and this...

My Blu-ray player does 4K upscaling (Sony X800). However, my Epson 5040UB projector also does 4K upscaling. Is one inherently better than the other? Or does it just come down to looking at them side-by-side and picking a personal preference? Or is one actually using a better, more refined...

My understanding from everything I've read is that the 5040 will also upscale 1080 content to 4k. From Projector Central's review: "Uses pixel shifting to enhance both 4K and 2K – 1080i and 1080p content." Also, I have a Sony X800 4k Blu-ray player that ALSO does upscaling as well as native 4k...

4K Enhancement not working on 5040. Just purchased the Epson 5040UB. Set it up and noticed that while I had 4K Enhancement set to ON, frame interpolation was also still active. I had read that 4K Enhancement overrode that feature. So I went to the Projector Info section of the menu and it says...

I've only been able to find one online comparison between these two very different releases (DVDBeaver). While the Warner sports a DD 5.1 mix and the StudioCanal 2.0 mono, the StudioCanal version was restored in 4K off the original camera negative and overseen by DP Nicolas Roeg. I know the...

If I were to win this Denon, I would go back to having weekly movie nights at my place for my closest friends and family. You can't have a sound system like this and not share it with the people in your life who would most enjoy and cherish it. There's nothing more gratifying than turning people...

This may have been mentioned already, and if so I apologize for the repeat, but I just received the British Blu-ray Edition of Ben-Hur (3-disc). While scanning through to get a look at the film, I noticed what appears to be a restoration mistake. It's in the outdoor scene where Masala asks...

Not sure if this is true, but it sure gets under my skin. And if it turns out not to be true, I still think it reflects what many of us feel about Lucas' attitude not only toward the original films, but his selfish arrogance in the face of those of us who actually care. He should be honored and...

It's the same film you saw with Clive's name inappropriately added over the title. However, I don't want to turn this thread into THE PLAGUE thread so I'll suffice it to say that Clive and his producers played a pivotal role in the destruction of this film. It was Clive's producers that recut...

I am also a filmmaker, Doug. In fact, I had my first feature taken away in post-production by the studio and re-cut from scratch into something that in no way resembles the film I made. I even went so far as to go public with what happened and start a campaign (still ongoing) to get the proper...

I'm afraid your priorities are not mine, Doug. You've repeated that you care about film and its history, yet you are willing to toss that aside haphazardly. You do not seem to (despite continually stating that you do) genuinely care about film history or its impact or in allowing that impact to...

You've lost me, Doug. Are you now arguing that morality no longer has a place in society so therefore we shouldn't bother? Or care? Or try? Look, you claim to care about film history, but you seem to have given up to the point where you actually go out of your way to suggest that those who do...
