Epson Pro Cinema 6020 UB – Full Specifications Home Cinema 5020 Eco-Mode vs. Full PowerTrue, dropping to eco-mode will make the lamp last longer – 5000 hours instead of 4000, but that’s not a huge percentage. Most likely anyone’s real motivation is fan noise (discussed below.) HC5020 Lumen Output (Eco Lamp, Dynamic): 1357That’s about a 29% drop, and should be consistent, regardless of which modes you use. Last year we measured about a 32% drop. The difference is within the famous “margin of error” Epson’s have typically dropped about 30% when switching to eco mode. Epson Home Cinema 5020 Pre-Calibration Color temp: THX 30 IRE 7164 50 IRE 7170 80 IRE 7172 100 IRE 7012 Home Cinema 5020, Post Calibration, Best Mode User 1 (based on THX) 20 IRE 6719 30 IRE 6515 40 IRE 6474 50 IRE 6539 60 IRE 6503 70 IRE 6509 80 IRE 6564 90 IRE 6528 100 IRE 6517 Average gamma 2.18 That’s a pretty tight range of color temp, post calibration. We’ve seen projectors that calibrate even tighter, but not often, or significantly (last year, the 5010 was a even tighter). Of course, Mike could invest more time, and narrow the range further, but the picture works for me! Photos show the differences between modes. These are taken at the same exposure, to give you an idea of relative brightness. It also gives you a good idea about color, though it’s a touch tougher to fully appreciate since the less bright modes are a bit underexposed, and the brighter modes overexposed due to the exposure. Let’s look at how the different modes handle some skin tones. Modes THX (Calibrated) Cinema Natural Living Room Dynamic Dynamic is suffering from being way overexposed. Still, if you try to forget that, you can note that our Victoria Secret model picks up a yellowish caste due to increased greens, etc. 1.
