Incredible projector. Takes home movie nights to the next level. No hesitations in highly recommending this projector.-Customer Review From Epson.com
I am completely satisfied with my purchase of the Epson LS11000 from Projector Screen. David was very knowledgeable and I could not have asked for better service.
After five years with the Epson 5040UB, we felt that is was time to finally upgrade. The 5040UB was a great first projector in our then-newly built home theatre, but it was never quite the perfect projector for the space. The only real issue is that our screen is 130" wide at a 2.39:1 aspect ratio. That means that any widescreen films are actually being projected at a whopping 130"x73" even though the image is only 54" tall. 16:9 images project at 96"x54" on our screen, and they were always so bright that we could even have some lights up in the theatre if we were also eating a meal while watching. Widescreen movies, however, aren't nearly as bright because of how large the image has to be to hit the 130" screen width. Compound that with the inherit darkness of any movies equipped with HDR and you've got a large number of movies that were super dark on our giant screen. Star Wars shows on Disney+, for instance, with its notoriously dark HDR implementation (not to mention how their cinematographers have decided to underlight everything) were so dark in our theatre that we finally gave up and started watching them on our new and very bright 4k TV instead. Enter the new projector, the LS11000! We are so happy with this upgrade. Not only is it much, much brighter (and we’re only running it at 50% brightness!), but it’s also so much easier to adjust the HDR on the fly. Is your favorite show always too dark? You can easily adjust the HDR gamma and make it look great (and without washing out the image) in seconds and without driving the rest of the family nuts while you adjust things. And in a major surprise, the new projector is also much, much quieter! This is also a big deal for us because we live at high altitude, and the high altitude setting on our old projector made the fan super loud. Even with the high altitude setting turned on in the LS11000 the fan is so quiet that it’s even whisper quiet when the movie is muted. We couldn’t be happier with this purchase!
After almost 7 years my 5040UB's control board was starting to go. It was time to upgrade from a two-generations behind projector anyway, so the LS11000 was the logical choice knowing it had the same quality as the 5040, same familiarity to me, same form-factor, and good forum support on AVSForum.My throw is 22 feet onto a 150" 16:9 frameless screen in a dedicated theater with complete light control. I had to upgrade to an 8K fiber optic HDMI cable since the run to the AVR from the exhausted soffit where the printer sits is 25 feet. There are no signal issues. My Harmony remote is set up for the 5040, but since the LS11000 uses the same commands I didn't need to make any changes to the remote programming. Knowing that I'm good for 20k hours without brightness degradation and lamp changes is great. I'm using the calibrations provided on AVSForum, but am content with the brightness of "Cinema" mode instead of going "Dynamic," as "Dynamic" will create significantly more noise from the projector and is distracting even with the projector in the soffit. On the 5040 I used "Bright Cinema," but because the brightness and contrast are so good on the LS11000 (and it being in a blackout theater) I can step down to "Cinema" mode and get better results than I was getting on "Bright Cinema" on the 5040.I prefer the old-school visual film aesthetic, so although I appreciate this projector's not over-top implementation of frame interpolation (on low setting), I have FI turned off. 90% of my content is 1080p and I'm pleased with the upscaled look while retaining the cinema visual feel to it. 4K streaming content definitely looks better than on the 4K 30Hz limited 5040. I don't game much, but the PS5 immediately recognized the 120Hz 4K capability.The only con is the lack of 3D, but I haven't watched a 3D movie in 5 years. I think this fad is dead. Also, I've always questioned why Epson makes their home theater projectors white (the lower level pjs). Doesn't impact me as mine is in a soffit, but for those who hang their PJs between the two rows, your peripheral vision may catch the white if it contrasts against a black ceiling like most dedicated home theaters have. As long as Epson is able to keep the projectors around the $3k-$4 range and have them last at least 6 years (I always skip AV tech by one generation as the jumps aren't that great on an adjacent generation), I will continue buying them. Like I said, if you have a 5040 or a projector from 6+ years ago, then the LS11000 is the logical choice.
Have this hanging on the ceiling of my newly remodeled basement. Using mostly a PS5 hooked up to a Denon AVR-X6700H for gaming and streaming. Projector was very easy to setup and adjust. I had to work with some settings on the receiver and PS5 but I've got it running at 4k 120hz (when supported) now. Looks great to me, sound is minimal, no complaints. It does have a large minimum throw distance and the projector is pretty big, just things to be aware of when planning out your room.
