Built–in Silicon Optix HQV Reon – VX processor
The Silicon Optix HQV processor is the reference standard in deinterlacing and scaling. With standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) interlaced content (DVDs, TV shows, 1080i HDTV broadcasts), the HQV Reon – VX processor reduces jagged edges on low–angle solid lines and flat edges. This superior video processor minimizes MPEG compression–related artifacts, such as mosquito noise, and restores the image to a more natural picture.

3LCD technology – for quality and colour that’s beyond amazing
3LCD technology delivers amazing colour and detail. Whether it’s a blockbuster movie or live sporting event, 3LCD technology takes video performance to the next level. Delivering legendary image quality, this innovative technology always ensures a thrilling cinematic experience.

Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) certification
Certified by the ISF, the Epson EH–TW5000 has been built to the strictest video standards. Calibration tools include multiple picture memories, and lockout to prevent accidental, post–calibration user misadjustments. ISF Cinema Day and Cinema Night modes are available.

OptiCinema™ lens system
The OptiCinema lens system is a precision, high – quality optical grade system. Co–developed with Fujinon, a top supplier of precision camera optics to the world’s leading HD camera makers, this system offers:

  • Maximum picture uniformity
  • Clarity across the entire screen
  • Freedom from colour fringing
  • Precision focus with 2.1x zoom
  • Maximum installation flexibility with 96% vertical/47% horizontal lens shift

Deep Black technology and Vertical Alignment
Achieve incredibly deep blacks with an astounding 75,000:1 contrast ratio, Deep Black technology and Epson’s exclusive Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD technology.With VA LCD technology, opaque (black) is the natural state. Signal voltage is applied to increase translucence (transmittance), as needed. This is a fundamental design and performance advantage – a complete rethinking of LCD chip design.

FineFrame interpolation processing technology
Film is encoded on Blu–ray at 24 frames per second. FineFrame deconstructs and reconstructs these sources for a 1080p frame rate output of up to 120 Hz, virtually eliminating flicker and frame–to–frame judder. The 4:4 pulldown function also makes corrections for improperly encoded sources, and features a reverse 2:3 pulldown detection and correction function.

Energy – efficient E–TORL lamp
The innovative E–TORL lamp, exclusively from Epson, is a reliable performer that delivers more lumens per watt and lasts up to 4000 hours.** Switch the projector to High Brightness Mode and the E–TORL lamp still produces up to 4000 hours of light performance. The special E–TORL design minimizes both light diffraction and light leakage, providing you the ultimate in lamp longevity – up to 50 percent more lamp life than with competitive products.
