Do you think that I can get the new 5 in 1 wireless transmitter designed for 5020ube somewhere so that I can use it on mine? Thanks, Hi Art,

I have got a Epson TW9000 – equivalent model of 5010e. Do you think that I can get the new 5 in 1 wireless transmitter designed for 5020ube somewhere so that I can use it on mine?

Thanks,

The biggest improvements are probably that you can now engage the dynamic iris when in 3D, and that lag times for serious gamers, are being improved. You do get a small boost in brightness as well. If you are happy with the 3010, I wouldn't worry about it! Hi Manuel,

Should I wait for 3020? How long does it take to be available to buy ? I bought my epson 3010 this friday.
