Shhhhhh don’t tell any one but it’s meant to be for stereo net subscribers only! I won’t tell if you don’t tell. It can be our little secret.

Normally $4999 and on the site it’s $4190. I’m sure they don’t have many at the special price so get one while you can if projectors are your thing :)

The EH-TW9300W from Epson is an impressive Home Theatre Projector featuring 4K Enhancement for stunning picture quality, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for ultra black levels, 2,500 Lumens brightness for whites and colours, 2D to 3D conversion for a fully immersive experience, and lens position presets so you can effortlessly switch between ratios (including extra wide ratios without the need for an anamorphic lens).

    Reading specs, sounds like this is a 1080p projector.

  • lowlifesphere on 25/05/2019 - 08:59

    This is not a 4K projector remove 4K from title

    • Maacin on 25/05/2019 - 16:45

      too right!

        Not sure why I got downvoted this projector does not have a native 4K resolution

  • fridgejam on 25/05/2019 - 09:10

    I have this projector and it does a great job with making 4K look good, but it is essentially a 1080p projector that uses fancy technology to project 4k content somewhere between HD and UHD quality, but it does not project images in native 4k resolution.

    If you do buy this projector, the first 4k disc I recommend you play on it is Planet Earth 2. The image quality of that disc through this projector is stunning!

    How noisy are these really expensive projectors? I know it's subjective, but I have an older nec 1024*768 native and it can be rather loud.

    • fridgejam on 25/05/2019 - 09:32

      It is a little loud for the first min when it starts up and then the fan switches gear and is fairly quiet. I have it mounted about 1.5 meters directly above our heads and I've never noticed it while playing a movie.

    • tonyjg on 25/05/2019 - 11:18

      Have an older Epson similar model…. noise at the start up… and then u don’t notice.
      Wireless is a great option instead of cables across the room or roof

  • TEER3X on 25/05/2019 - 09:42

    Is this the same as the 5040ub?

    If so, it's an excellent projector

      • Punkboy on 26/05/2019 - 10:58

        Specs look identical, though it's probably the e model as this has wireless.

  • ImpulseCharlie on 25/05/2019 - 09:54

    I can vouch for this projector. Chose this over optoma uhd65 which is native extremely satisfied. I got it refurbished from Epson for 2400 with 3 years warranty.

    • TEER3X on 26/05/2019 - 07:52

      I think people need to read this comment and understand that a 4k dlp projector doesn't necessarily look better than an eshift projector (even though both use their own shifting technology)

      By all accounts, the Epson (assuming it's a 5040ub) looks better, and sharpness/detail is basically the same or at best marginally better on the dlp 4k, i.e. actual resolution is way less important than color accuracy and contrast and HDR implementation

      I own a vivitek hk2288 4k dlp projector, but wish I had an epson (or a JVC). Input lag on all 4k dlps is really high, so fps gaming sucks.

  • unifex on 25/05/2019 - 10:08

    i dont get the 1k resolution in the specs? If it was a misprint then the projector should be cheaper.

    Looks like a 1k projector priced as a 4k projector

    In the comments: People who don't understand the current state of 4k projector technology.

    Yes, this projector has a 1080p panel, but the panel is very quickly shifted 4 times per frame to create the impression of a 4k image. Yes, it is false advertising in a way (which is why people brand this Faux-K), but they're allowed to call it 4k because the industry has certified this technology to be 4k. The most important thing is that it definitely works and will look sharper than a standard 1080p projector. Of course a native 4k projector with a native 4k panel will look even sharper, especially if you pixel peep at still images and text. Though is not that much better where is worth the insane price jump (a native 4k projector starts at almost $8000).

    Here's a good breakdown for the technology and some comparisons to a native 4k projector.
    https://www.projectorcentral.com/4k-projectors-defined.htm

    This is a review of a different projector, but it uses the same 1080p chip as this Epson and the same e-shift technology. It directly compares a 1080p image (on a previous 1080p model with the same chip) to a e-shifted 4k image.
    https://youtu.be/QZe9oos-IXU?t=421

    Honestly, unless you have vision that's better than 20/20 and your sitting at the recommended distance relative to the screen size (which most people even who owns 4k tv don't) is not really gonna make a difference whether is 4k or Faux-K.

    • Punkboy on 25/05/2019 - 10:55

      What's the trend in the 4k native market? Is there any sign of rapid price drops coming? This sounds like a reasonable compromise until 4k lasers reach a reasonable price point but not sure on how many years that would be.

      • TEER3X on 25/05/2019 - 11:07

        What 4k lasers?

        Laser is just the light source.

      • la838 on 25/05/2019 - 12:55

        Zero sign of it dropping unfortunately, is just too expensive to make and because of the eshifts, there's just less development for the native 4k chips. The prices for the eshifts are slowly dropping though. Maybe look into projectors that eshifts 2716 x 1528 chips, seems like a pretty good compromise.

    • zorrt on 25/05/2019 - 11:05

      I retract my comments. Wasn't aware 4k enhancement was Epson's version of eshift, took a bit of googling to find a confirmation. I'd personally be happy with having eshift considering true 4k I'd way out of my budget.

      • la838 on 25/05/2019 - 12:45

        Maybe look into the projectors that eshifts 2716 x 1528 chips. That's a pretty good compromise to true 4k.

  • GregFiona on 25/05/2019 - 11:40

    This or the Xiaomi one?

    • ChickenAdobo on 25/05/2019 - 11:51

      Xiaomi one. Long throw are a hassle to set up.

      • FXx on 26/05/2019 - 20:21

        This will look a lot better than the Xiaomi in a dedicated room, mounted.

    • la838 on 25/05/2019 - 12:58

      Epson if you have the proper room sized for it and don't mind mounting it. Xiaomi if is a living room. Epson would look better (higher contrast) in pitch dark room, but the Xiaomi is a bit more versatile (brighter, short throw).

  • fredgassit on 25/05/2019 - 14:53

    How good is this projector at upscaling DVDs, i.e., 480P?

  • lplau on 25/05/2019 - 15:17

    Seems expensive for Epson. For this price I'd go JVC which has better color and pixel shift algorithms.

  • skysurfer on 25/05/2019 - 15:55

    This a great projector. It was competitively priced before the sale and now even better.

    It's on sale because it has just been superseded by the 9400.

    For the person who said ultra short throw projectors are better, they require special screens, limiting your choice of screen very significantly. It's a major drawback IMO.

    • GregFiona on 25/05/2019 - 16:23

      There are plenty of videos online showing UST projectors without a screen…

    • 0FoxGiven on 25/05/2019 - 16:48

      Ozbargainers often seek advice and knowledge on products. Don't spew nonsense just because You don't like a product. UST projectors dont "require" "special" screens. Sure, It will look better with a screen but then again so would a long throw projector.

      • skysurfer on 25/05/2019 - 20:25

        So how do you figure my opinion is nonsense and yours is fact? You must be the judge around here?

        You asked for knowledge and advice and that's exactly what I shared, having had the benefit of owning many projectors and screens since the first ones 25 years ago, and working in the industry for a time.

        How long have you been using projectors?

        If I get the time I'll come back later and explain why a special screen is required if you want a good image from. UST.

        Is my neg from you? I'm not negging you because you're entitled to contribute your opinion.

  • megaphat09 on 28/05/2019 - 11:55

    Is this still active? I tried the promo code but got rejected - I wish I had seen this earlier (was actually very keen to buy this specific projector).

    • jamba on 29/05/2019 - 03:23

      No lens shift on this BenQ though.

      • bf on 29/05/2019 - 19:43

        I don't understand, why would one need lens shift (to create a pseudo-4K image) if the BenQ projector already has 4K native resolution?

    • skysurfer on 29/05/2019 - 21:39

      That's not true 4k, it's got a 1920 x 1080 chip.

      There are no true 4k PJs anywhere near this price.

      • Punkboy on 29/05/2019 - 22:14

        I didn't think that 4K was possible at this price point. However the product descriptions clearly state "The BenQ CineHome W1700 is a DLP projector and has 8.3-megapixel true 4K UHD resolution". Are you saying they are using shifting on this model as well?

        • skysurfer on 29/05/2019 - 23:18

          Yes it's pixel shifting.

          • bf on 29/05/2019 - 23:34

            @skysurfer: oops, sorry, my mistake :)

      • aibargain on 05/06/2019 - 12:35

        That's not technically correct.
        With a little searching, can have a Xiaomi short throw Laser 4k projector shipped to Oz from Ali at $2500

        • GregFiona on 05/06/2019 - 17:11

          Xiaomi Wemax One(around $2500) is not native 4K either(Resolution: Full HD ( 1920 x 1080 )
          Xiaomi Mijia (more thank $3K)is pixel shift 4K,
          At this price range you will only find eshift/pixel shift projectors.

          • aibargain on 06/06/2019 - 22:18

            @GregFiona: Just arrived yesterday
            Xiaomi Mijia 2019 4K laser projector
            AUD $2500 shipped
            Very much native 4K and stunning.

            • GregFiona on 07/06/2019 - 14:16

              @aibargain: Congratulations, that’s my “wish list” projector too.
              It looks stunning, but not native 4K. It uses pixel shift technology to achieve 4K. Native 4K projectors cost around 20K
              Ps where did you buy it from?

              • aibargain on 09/06/2019 - 14:24
