![]() ![]() The Epson is an absolute flamethrower - it's the second brightest we've ever measured. Speaking of 4K, where does this leave the competitive Epson? For most people, the Epson 2350 and the BenQ HT2060 are the two projectors I'd recommend, and they're surprisingly different. Wait until there's a 4K projector with great contrast for $1,000 or less, and the market's not there yet. If you have a HT2050A, should you upgrade? No. The image is just that much more lifelike, you never need to replace the lamp, it turns on and off quickly, and it's a little quieter. Between the two, though, I'd still choose the HT2060. Yes, the HT2060 doesn't quite have the same performance on paper as the HT2050A. Long live the kingĪfter everything you just read, my conclusion might surprise you. The incredible light output of the Epson has its place for sure, but if you're looking for all-around image quality, the BenQ HT2060's greater contrast outclasses the Epson. On paper the HT2050A has some advantages, but overall the HT2060 just looks better. For a light-controlled room, the BenQ HT2060 is still plenty bright.īetween the three options, I'd pick the HT2060. If you wanted a 150-inch screen or something, the Epson is the better choice. It's not "dim," per se, but I'd call it average. The most disappointing aspect of the HT2060 is its comparative dimness. The HT2050A looks the worst here, largely due to some processing issues that aren't a big deal on their own, but compared to these two newer PJs means it's starting to look its age. Either way, it's a lot closer than you'd expect. With closeups of faces, the Epson definitely looks a little sharper but if the camera is moving, the DLP does. On others, they look roughly similar if not a slight edge to the DLPs. So with certain images, the Epson looks sharper. The DLP tech of the BenQs doesn't have that issue. The Epson is an LCD projector, which suffers from motion blur. The image just looks flatter and more artificial. So side-by-side, especially if you're watching something with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, the blacks look gray. Even if you dialed back the brightness of the Epson, the black levels would still be high. While the Epson is a lot brighter, the black levels are significantly higher too. The Epson's 348:1, on the other hand, is very noticeable. Side by side, this is less obvious than you'd think. Interestingly, the HT2060 is lower than the HT2050A, 1,320:1 versus 2,094:1 with my measurements. The Epson's issue, compared to the two BenQs, is a significantly lower contrast ratio. The Epson has very accurate color too, but not quite to the same extent. With a variety of content, including HDR, the HT2060 just has far richer, deeper, more realistic colors than the HT2050A. This goes beyond just accurate greens, reds and blues, but also many of the in-between tones that make an image seem more lifelike. The HT2060 is one of the most accurate projectors we've measured. ![]()
