3LCD: The Epson Home Cinema 2350 projector utilizes 3-chip LCD technology for amazing color, incredible detail and solid reliability. 3LCD's 3-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary color - red, green, and blue, continuously. Unlike single-chip technology that delivers color sequentially, you get full-time color. The result is vibrant, realistic images and video all delivered with 3LCD's true-to-life color.
- True-to-Life Colors: 3LCD delivers up to 3x brighter colors in comparison with 1-chip DLP projectors. Color Brightness (Color Light Output) measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4. Color Brightness will vary depending on usage conditions. Additionally, 3LCD projectors have up to 3x Wider Color Gamut than 1-chip DLP projectors. With its 3-chip design, 3LCD delivers clear and vibrant images that are true-to-life. In contrast to 3-chip 3LCD projectors, 1-chip DLP projectors use a rotating color wheel that spins at a rapid speed, only displaying colors sequentially, which can result in color break-up or the "rainbow effect".
- Greater Detail & Contrast: 3LCD projection efficiently uses light to project to the screen with no color disruption. 3LCD technology delivers sharper and brighter images with superior gray-scale detail. Gray-scale is the shades of gray (from black to white) required for greater image depth and detail; it allows greater variation in shadows and brings superior accuracy to color, creating a jaw-dropping, true-to-life visual experience
- Energy Efficient: 3LCD projection technology uses light efficiently to create stunning images. In contrast to 1-chip technology, 3LCD requires 25% less electricity per lumen of brightness. 1-chip projectors use a color wheel, which leads to an inefficient design, thereby causing light loss. 3LCD does not rely on a color wheel. On average, 3LCD projectors are 25% more energy efficient.
- Simple & Reliable Design: 3LCD systems are reliable and use a simple optical design which includes 3 chips and 1 prism. Light flows seamlessly through the system to produce brilliant on-screen colors and sharp images every time.
High Brightness, Color, & Contrast: The Home Cinema 2350 is capable of displaying high-definition content at an exceptional 2,800 lumens of brightness (for both color & white) with a dynamic contrast ratio of 35,000:1, as well as reproduce up to 1 billion colors with 10-bit color processing for outstanding accuracy and vibrancy giving you an exceptionally rich and vivid picture.
- Projection Lamp: The projector uses a 200-watt Ultra High Efficiency (UHE) lamp with a life span of approximately 4500 hours in the Normal mode, 7500 hours in ECO mode, or 4500 hours in High mode. The lamp (Part # V13H010L97) and air filter (Part # V13h134A54) are the only user-serviceable parts. The projection lamp is kept cool by a fan. The fan noise level is 36dB in Normal mode and 28dB in ECO mode.
- Projection Lens: The Home Cinema 2350 employs a F1.49-1.77 projection lens that has a focal length of 18.2mm to 29.2mm. It features an optical zoom ratio of 1 to 1.62x with a manual foucs. The lens can project an image from 40" to 500" (measured diagonally).
Note: Color brightness (color light output) and white brightness (white light output) will vary depending on usage conditions. Color light output measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4; white light output measured in accordance with ISO 21118.
4K PRO-UHD Projection Technology: The Home Cinema 2350 has a native resolution of 1080p (1920x1080) and employs Epson's 4K PRO-UHD Projection Technology to create an enhanced 4K (4096x2160) image. 4K PRO-UHD Projection Technology utilizes advanced processing to deliver 4K enhanced performance and HDR (high dynamic range).
- 4K Resolution Enhancement: Pixel-shifting technology precisely controls the projector's three individual, high definition LCD chips and shifts millions of pixels diagonally to double the resolution and surpass Full HD image quality for an enhanced 4K experience.
- HDR (High Dynamic Range): HDR (High Dynamic Range) reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, bringing greater contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. The Epson projector supports HDR10 and HLG only (not compatible with HDR10+ or Dolby Vision).
Note: Epson's 4K Pro-UHD2 Enhancement Technology can only produce 4.1 million pixels by doubling the native 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, achieving less than half of the required 8.3 million pixels for true 4K resolution.
HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps): The Home Cinema 2350 is equipped with two HDMI 2.0 inputs (18Gbps) that are compatible with virtually all color formats, depths and spaces, while simultaneously supporting 4K/HDR content at a full 60Hz. The HDMI 1 input supports ARC (audio return channel) and can be plugged into a soundbar or AV receiver. The HDMI 2 is used for the supplied Android TV streaming player.
- Supported Video Resolution: In addition to 4K (3840x2160) @ 24/30/50/60Hz, the HDMI inputs will also accept 1080p @24/30/50/60Hz, 1080i @ 50/60Hz 720p @ 50/60Hz, and 480p/i video resolution signals.
