Epson will be brightest and average contrast and blacks. Sony will be less bright but better contrast. JVC is lowest brightness but incredible blacks and contrast. Pick what you prefer.
r/budgetprojectors • JVC D-ILA DLA-RS1 vs Epson home cinema 2250 vs Sony SXRD VPL HW55ES vs HW45ES USA TX ->I tested the JVC NP5 against a few different Sony projectors and found the Sony's to have sharper optics and better image processing. Black levels were not quite as good, but very close. If 3D is a factor - as it is for me - you can find a used XW6000 which supports 3d in a similar $5K price range though it will require an external 3d emitter, or you can get a VW715, which is 1800 lumens, lamp-based and has an onboard 3D emitter.
r/projectors • $5000 showdown: What is the best projector at the $5000 range? ->I went the open box route, got a 4K Sony and never looked back. Sony optics and picture processing are the best available and their projectors are true 3-chip systems and native 4k.
r/projectors • Newbie looking to go from cheap Amazon projectors to true home theater projector ->I have a Sony 715 and highly recommend it. The projector is quite large but it’s more serviceable as a result. The optics are best-in-class and it’s a true 3 chip system, so it doesn’t have rainbow artifacts.
r/projectors • Valerion projectors. Are they any good? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
