Epson Home Cinema 2030 Projector – Image Quality 3

Below is a favorite image for looking at dark shadow detail. It’s also a good test of black level performance. While as already noted, the black levels of the 2030 are only average, that definitely is the case for dark shadow detail. Look at the shrubs on the right and behind the tracks, and also in the darkest portion of the woods, where there’s plenty of dark shadow detail. Most of the projectors’ images below crush the darkest detail more.

Note, images below.  We’ve already converted a lot of these Bond “night train scene” images done with more expensive projectors to grayscale, but as you can see, most of the older, less expensive projectors’ images are still in color.  Eventually, they’ll all be grayscale.
