![]() The 5050ub is the best PJ around $3,000 and the LS12000 is the best PJ around $5,000. I did update the 5050 to the 3x shifting as well and that is the performance I am referencing. It's more natural looking as well, as it doesn't have over sharpening on some objects as the 5050 does. It's better with no image enhancement on than the 5050ub with full strength image enhancement. I didn't think it would be such a big improvement. The pixel shifting is also much better on the LS. With the LS I just plug things in and they work, up to 4K120 streaming from a Nvidia Shield via Moonlight and everything below and I know it's all scaled properly. All that power cycling is annoying and potentially harmful to the lamp as well, as it takes time to warm up and cool down and each time can cut bulb life (which was a major motivator to go laser). That meant I had to constantly change the PC resolution (as I had a 1440p monitor) and power cycle the PJ if I wanted to use it for gaming, and I assume the same headache applies to consoles. On 1440p content pixel shifting would not trigger and did not give the toggle. I would have to power cycle the PJ from time to time to trigger the pixel shift option. If the signal is 1080p you can toggle pixel shifting sometimes. If the signal is 4K the pixel shift menu item will be greyed out because it's on. It works but it's difficult to verify if it's actually on, especially with gaming. I prefer the middle FI setting or low, if you're a cinema purist you still get a smoother image with no FI on the LS. The LS is smoother with no frame interpolation than the 5050 with full FI and the LS can use FI on 4K content while the 5050 cannot. Considering I usually save the impressive HDR content for the PJ, the 5050 was not cutting it for me. More importantly, the contrast ratio is wildly different between the presets (HDR is far lower) because the brightness is much lower. This also means you only need one present for all content instead of switching between presets for HDR, SDR, and gaming. The LS has no such color filter so you always get full color and the middle HDR slider setting is equivalent to the lowest on the 5050, meaning you can have a much brighter image or deeper HDR on the LS. You can choose worse color or unwatchable dark scenes, not a good choice. HDR needs all the brightness a PJ can muster so it made some scenes absolutely unwatchable. The 5050 struggles with HDR because it uses a color filter to reach the wider color of HDR but it cuts brightness about 50%. When I got the LS I really thought it would be a marginal improvement but the difference was night and day. The difference cannot be quantified on a spec sheet, even though the LS has higher specs it's not those figures that make the meaningful difference. The LS12000 is in a different league than the 5050ub. I have owned both the 5050ub and now LS12000. Maybe just give it to one friend who want it.īTW, the screen is 112 inches and distance between current projector and screen is 15 inches. If it can be sold more than 500 CAD, I would like to try to sell it. Does the 5030UB still have any market value for sell.But someone said it's good for gaming, not for movie. ![]() Does a 4K projector around this budget provide significant image quality improvement? Any model suggestion? I found Optoma UHZ50 maybe a good choice. I would like to spend similar amount as I did for the 5030UB. So I think maybe it's the time to upgrade to 4K projector now. ![]() The image is significantly different when watching 4K movies. The reason for considering upgrade is because I upgraded my 1080p plasma TV to a OLED 4K. I don't see any image quality degradation comparing to 7 years ago. I have a Epson 5030UB currently, which I bought 7 years ago.
