Epson LS11000 vs Epson 5050ub (1 Viewer)

[ng4ever]

Which is better ?

LS11000 is better. Has laser light source, 4-way pixel shifting for true 4K. The only thing the 5050UB has to offer that the other one doesn't is 3D capability.

What about the difference in contrast between the two please ?

@ng4ever, Thank you for starting this important thread and to Mark-P for your support with very good replies/information!

I'm also interested in these two Epson Laser projectors. I'm always enjoy learning everything about most if not all video equipment.

Now that you got me started; once I learn more with my technical contacts at Epson I hope to be able to contribute with helpful information if I have anything worthy to pass along.

Epson specification claims:
5050UB 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (auto iris on)
LS11000 1,200,000:1 contrast ratio (auto iris on)
LS12000 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio (auto iris on)

also of interest is the brightness where the 5050UB does appear to have a slight advantage:
5050UB 2600 lumens
LS11000 2500 lumens
LS12000 2700 lumens

I should probably also add that I currently own a LS12000 and it is by far the best PJ I've ever owned. It's super-bright and does HDR very well (by projection standards). Formerly I owned the Epson 5040 UB.

I would get the LS12000 instead but it is sadly out of my price range

I found this thread but it is over 2 years old sadly

Stays black levels are on the ls11000 are bad. Hmm
