We wanted to film all five of our best selling home theater projectors (Panasonic PT-AE3000U, Epson Home Cinema 1080UB, Epson Home Cinema 6100, Sanyo PLV-Z700 and Sanyo PLV-Z3000) at once, playing the same content, since that is one of the most frequent requests. We also threw in the Optoma TX1080 - a crossover widescreen business projector. But like with any comparison like this - there are some limitations to our professional video camera. That means some of the most noticeable differences between the units we saw in person are not apparent in the images you see. Below are a couple of the differences the camera couldn't see. Black Levels The black levels were far superior on the Epson Home Cinema 6500 UB, the Sanyo PLV-Z3000, and the Panasonic PT-AE3000U - with the overall 'blackest blacks" nod going Epson. The Sanyo PLV-Z700 showed the worst blacks in our test with out of the box settings. 120hz Superiority The projectors with 120hz processing (again the Epson Home Cinema 6500 UB, the Sanyo PLV-Z3000, and the Panasonic PT-AE3000U) looked incredible in person. They look good in the video, but even in scenes with just a little movement - like people walking through the metro station - the difference was remarkable and obvious. We hope to get some HD video that can capture the difference soon. Brightness The camera tends to adjust for brightness, finding a happy medium that makes all the images look their best. The good news here is that there was not much to report. All ...
