UltraBlack technology and Vertical Alignment
Achieve incredibly deep blacks with an astounding 200,000:1 contrast ratio, UltraBlack technology and Epson’s exclusive Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD technology.

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 120Hz, 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.

Switch the projector to High Brightness Mode and the E-TORL lamp still produces up to 4,000 hours of light performance. The special E-TORL design minimizes both light diffraction and light leakage, providing the ultimate in lamp longevity.
