“The LS12000 is not a "native" 4K projector—Epson continues to use 1,920 x 1,080 LCD panels for imaging duties and combines these with a shifting optical element to produce an "on screen" equivalent of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels with a dual-axis shift. This means the projector will not fully resolve single-pixel 4K patterns, but does provide near 4K quality from a normal seating distance on most screens. It is a bit disappointing that we haven't seen Epson jump into the native 4K display space yet with its consumer projectors. That said, there are no other projector makers currently offering native 4K models at this price point.”

No under $100,000 consumer DLP projector or LCD projector offers a native 4K imaging chip. However starting at around $6,000 both JVC and Sony offer native 4K imaging chips using LCOS technology. Some commercial movie theaters install Sony LCOS 4K projectors. Plus Sony has that new entry level 4K LCOS Laser projector for only $6,000, but no 3D feature from that entry level model.
Here is the list of JVC and Sony LCOS projectors to choose from. JVC has HDR10+ support where as Sony only offers standard HDR10.

Is it worth spending more than 10k when I might be upgrading as technology advances? I do not wish to exceed €5,000-€6,000 on the projector. I wont be exceeding 100-120”. I think that epson is my best bang for the buck. Any thoughts?
