The Pro Cinema 4050 is Epson's first product to incorporate the 4K PRO-UHD technology.
According to the company, the Pro Cinema 4050 and its 4K PRO- UHD technology utilizes an advanced optical engine that products high-color brightness levels, as well as high white levels, and accurate colors.
Moreover, Epson says the projector’s compatibility with the HDR10 format will allow the Pro Cinema 4050 to produce wide contrast levels.
Epson emphasizes the Pro Cinema 4050 delivers detailed, bright, dynamic images, thanks in part to its PRO-UHD technology, combined with the projector’s lens capabilities and compatibility with native 4K content through its latest-generation of pixel-shifting technologies.

Specified to produce up to 2,400 lumens of color and white brightness, the Pro Cinema 4050 produces contrast ratios as high as 200,000:1.
Epson also says the projector’s wide color gamut produces the entire DCI-P3 color space, and its 15-element glass lens helps the projector to throw uniform images with, “virtually no hot spots or chromatic aberration.”
The projector also has integration-friendly features like wide lens shift capabilities with +/- 96 percent on the horizontal axis and +/- 47 percent vertical axis.
In addition, to help a wide variety of images look better, the 4050 uses a 12-bit digital processing chipset that provides frame interpolation and Epson’s Advanced Motion Control image processing for smooth transitions between frames.
