Epson Home Cinema 8500UB Projector – Image Quality 8

The following images are both the same frame, from Space Cowboys. The first one is slightly overexposed, and the second one, dramatically so. Look in the brown area of the satellite on the left (and elsewhere) for shadow detail. The Epson does a good but not exceptional job on shadow detail.

Here’s the same overexposed image- the BenQ W6000 and below it, the Sony HW15

Our last comparison uses the night train scene from Casino Royale. Look to the trees and shrubs on the right, especially just above the tracks. You will find a little more shrubbery visible on some of the other projectors.
