Epson Home Cinema 3010 Projector – Image Quality-2

Let’s start with the Home Cinema 3010’s black level performance. This Epson claims a “dynamic” contrast ratio of 40,000:1. A few years ago, that number would have promised dazzling black level performance, but the numbers keep getting larger, faster than black levels improve.

The Home Cinema 3010 has good black level performance, but it is not what we like to call around here, a “ultra-high-contrast projector”. It is typical for the price range, and probably not quite as good as the Home Cinema 8350, which remains in the lineup, as a less expensive, and not as bright, 2D only projector.
