Epson Pro Cinema 6040ub

The Epson Pro Cinema 6040UB is a 4K-enhanced home theater projector that replaces the earlier Pro Cinema 6030UB.  It features a new light engine design, a new all-glass zoom lens, updated video processing capabilities, and of course its flagship feature -- 4K enhanced resolution achieved through pixel shift technology.
​​​​​​The Epson Pro Cinema 6040UB is marketed as "4K enhanced" projector. It accept native 4K video signals and is HDCP 2.2 compliant. However, rather than using native 4K resolution imaging devices, they use 1080p 3LCD panels with a pixel shift technology that enables them to approximate the resolution of a native 4K projector. The big advantage, at the moment anyway, is that 1080p chips are much less costly than 4K chips, so this projector cost MUCH less than native 4K products. 
​​​​​​Though pixel shift technology does not produce a 4K picture with the same precision that a projector using native 4K imaging devices can, it does substantially boost the apparent resolution of the picture well beyond standard HD 1080p, and it does so for a fraction of the price of native 4K machines. So until native 4K projectors drop to the price level of standard 1080p, there will definitely be a place in the market for pixel shift technology.
​​​​​​The Epson Pro Cinema 6040UB combines exceptional brightness, solid contrast, rich color, and 4K-enhancement technology for a highly competitive price.
