is it a matt White? Looks like it has a pearly effect when light is hitting it. Looks nice!
its like a satin white same as the current models

Any idea of a release date (or month) for the 9300? I was going to go for a 9200 but the room it's going in won't be ready for a couple of months so I might as well wait for the 9300...
Yes it specifically says that you can only use DCI in the Digital Cinema mode which me no like... I found Natural to be the best on the LS10K when tested it (I think).
Have you got one on demo already Ricky, or is that one you've seen elsewhere?
Good spot, looks like they have left off the high lamp level on the UK specs, only covering normal and ECO: EH-TW9300 - EpsonThe USA version, the 5040UB, notes in the PDF (http://www.epson.com/alf_upload/pdfs/projectors/brochure_5040UB_specs.pdf) that the noise in decibels runs from 20-31db. 31db must be the high mode - presumably for HDR material - which is really loud, surely? I might well be wrong but I'm assuming that's the likeliest option maybe?
Natural is the closest to Rec.709 which is why it would have looked best. Digital Cinema is the one designed to go closer to DCI-P3, so most likely looked overblown in your viewing?
The thing to remember with Epson projectors, is that they have memories, so you can 10 different calibrations using Digital Cinema memory if you want, or 5 under natural, and 5 under Digital Cinema.
Not just that, projectors in this category simply do not have what it takes to display HDR properly so some prefer to have it turned off but they do not want to give up on WCG at the same time. Lets hope these new machines can actually really deliver as promised. Mind you I've managed to achieve some very good HDR results with a JVC I had.I think the issue is possible fan noise in HDR mode and given the general consensus that these projectors won't be bright enough to do HDR justice, the HDR option might as well be switched off for a better listening experience.
this write up sounds very interesting
Epson UK prices 4K HDR home cinema projectors low - Inside CI
"something else up their sleeve"
it's looking like Epson's year again
