Verdict

The Epson Powerlite Pro Cinema 6010 is a professional-grade 1080p 3LCD home theatre projector featuring 2,400 lumens of both colour and white brightness alongside a high 200,000:1 contrast ratio. Key characteristics include THX certification, ISF calibration tools, and 480Hz Bright 3D Drive technology for enhanced 3D performance. Its primary advantages are exceptional placement flexibility via a 2.1x Fujinon zoom lens and wide vertical/horizontal lens shift, superb black levels, and a comprehensive package that typically includes two pairs of 3D glasses and a spare lamp. However, users should note the lack of motorised focus and zoom, the absence of built-in speakers, and potential crosstalk issues when the 3D brightness is set to its highest level.
