Image quality enhancing features for Epson EB-G5000 series

Smoother Image Reproduction with 3LCD Technology – Epson’s proprietary 3LCD technology offers full-time colour projection with three separate LCD panels (Red, Green and Blue) thus ensuring smooth projection of image without colour breakup (commonly known as rainbow effect), distorted image patterns and visual fatigue, making it ideal for usage in home theatre environment. The three chip engine also delivers incredibly bright images and accurate colours that give a touch of realism in every image depicted.

Crystal Clear Fine (C2 FINE) Technology – Epson’s proprietary C2Fine technology was previously only used in Epson home cinema projectors to minimize polarized light leakages and increase contrast ratio. Now, it is used in the new Epson EB-G5000 series to deliver high contrast and flawless picture quality, especially for video presentations in auditoriums.

Improved colour management – The Epson colour management system allows users to adjust the colours in various modes, achieving perfect balance between brightness and colour quality. In addition, image customization features are also available where users can adjust the settings for the exact colour balance and sharpness to suit their application.

Advanced sharpness – The new EB-G5000 series allows users to enhance the sharpness of the output by adjusting the vertical/ horizontal lines and thin/ thick lines on the images. This is one of the image enhancement features adapted from high-end home theatre projectors.
