Before we go further, I would like to solve some dilemmas of some people.
What is 4K PRO-UHD?
In both the projector you will get the Native 1080P LCD panels. But Epson has improved this, both projectors 1080p. When the projector project on the screen. He doubles the resolution by overlapping resolution. On the screen. It’s happening by the shifting optical lenses.
So, it’s not true 4k but close to the 4k and smooth picture quality.
What is Lens Memory?
Like, 4K PRO-UHD. There another innovative things that exist are lens memory. It’s work to remember your projector screen aspect ratio.
Assume if you are watching the movie and you have a screen. Which aspect ratio is 1.85:1. And you see also sports its screen aspect ratio is 16:9.
In this situation, you don’t need to change your screen by doing the setting effort. You can save different aspect ratio settings for the cinematic experience and another for the HD tv aspect ratio. So, you have to just change saved lens settings.
Not need to change lens settings from the scratch.
And this is cool thing about the 5050 UB range. And Here UB stands for the “Ultra Black”.
Difference
97 % things are similar in both the projector, but in this difference section. We are going to talk about some differences between both the projector. Which decides Epson 5050UBe is a winner or Epson 5050UB.

The second difference, connectivity. Both projectors have similar wire connectivity options available. But here in terms of wireless connectivity. Epson 5050UBe got an extra edge. It has a wireless connectivity option available.
But for this, you have to buy the Epson wireless transmitter (which costs 300$). Then you can connect up to four HDMI cables with your projector. Without any worry. This gonna help you a lot. When you hook up your projector with the ceiling.
You can connect Tuner, DVD/Blu-ray disc, Camera, Games Consoles, Computer, Smart Device, and Video camera.
Third and Last difference. For some people, it could be silly and for some important. The last difference is the weight between both the projector. Although, both dimensions are the same. But Epson 5050UBe weight is 25.1 lb and Epson 5050UB weight is 24.7 lb. Thus Epson 5050UBe is bulkier and heavy than Epson 5050UB.

Similarities
In this section of our article, we talk. What are those similarities both projectors have? Let’s kick start with the image quality.
Image Quality
Both projector Epson 5050UBe and Epson 5050UB. Have the same specification for the image quality. They come with a high contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. And their maximum lumens is 2600 Lumens.
Which can vary according to the modes you choose for the projection. For the low noise and long life of the projector. You should always use the Digital Cinema and Natural mode. And their resolution is 1080p, but it can enhance near to the 4k.
And the best thing I like about the projector. It’s dark level, this projector shows the dark level at its best of any movie or video. Perfect.
Lens shift
By using the lens shift you can adjust your screen angle. No matter where you put your projector. For example, You can put your projector on the level of the screen in front of you, on the table. Or you hook up your projector on the ceiling. And also you can put it behind on your shelf.
No matter what your projector angle with the screen. You can adjust the screen angle by the lens shift (Vertically: ±96.3, Horizontally: ±47.1). And you can control your lens shift by remote, which comes in the box.
Home cinema
Both are perfect for the home cinema. No matter where you set up your projector in the living room, garage, and basement. Or you project the videos/movies in the presence of ambient light this projector will work great.
If you on the lights of the room it’s not going to hurt the projector image quality. You will get the best image quality. If you wanna try this projector in the darkroom. You can try you will get image quality like the OLED.
Not only for the projection of the movie.
You will also get the precious experience of gaming on the projector. Although both input lag has a difference. But this difference is not that much.
Lamp
Both the projector have a 250 W UHE lamp. And its life depends on which modes you choose to project image. And what is the luminous? If you run your projector at max power for the bright image quality.
It consumes more power than normal. And it’s also won’t work quietly. Its exhaust fan will make noise. If you want to resist this exhaust fan noise. You can use the external speakers. To overcome the exhaust fan noise.
Or I will prefer to use the projector in Eco mode and Medium Mode. Which help me to use the projector without bothering. And it will help me to use my projector for a long time.
See how projector modes affect the projector life:
- ECO Mode: 5,000 hours
- Medium Mode: 4,000 hours
