Epson Reveals Home Cinema 4010 4K PRO-UHD Projector with HDR

The company's newest home theater 4K HDR projector has been unveiled.

Following the reveal of the Pro Cinema 4050 earlier this month, Epson has now announced another projector with the company's new proprietary 4K PRO-UHD technology. The Home Cinema 4010 is now available for $2,000 from Best Buy and other retailers. 

"Epson's new Home Cinema 4010 4K PRO-UHD projector represents a new type of 4K experience for home theater projection," said Rodrigo Catalan, senior product manager, Projectors, Epson America. "Utilizing proprietary resolution-enhancement technology, along with advanced forms of HDR and image processing, the Home Cinema 4010 produces incredible brightness, color accuracy, and image detail for the ultimate 4K experience."

Like the Pro Cinema 4050 model, the Home Cinema 4010 4K Projector features 4K PRO-UHD tech with a high performance optical engine, Epson's 15-element glass projection lens, and advanced pixel-shifting to produce 4K images (each pixel is shifted diagonally to double Full HD resolution). Unlike the 4050, however, the 4010 does not include the Pro Cinema Kit. Meanwhile, the device offers 2,400 lumens of color and white brightness, a contrast ratio up to 200,000:1, 12-bit digital processing, and HDR10 playback support at 24fps. Likewise, the unit is capable of covering the entire DCI-P3 wide color space. Finally, Full HD 3D projection support is included as well.
