Has anyone watched LDs using a 3LCD projector? How did it look compared to DLP and LCoS? |

Here two reviens I did about ont DLP, then a 3LCD. LG HU80KS (HU80KA in other countries) After seeing it at Yodobashi Camera, I decided to buy a LG HU80K. The render was fantastic with any source. But after some hours of testing, I had to resolve myself to sell it back, for the next reasons : - First, the projector isn't designed for small rooms, even it it claims it. Because the lens adjustement doesn't offer enough settings. Only a mirror, and a 1.2x zoom. Then I could neither place it on the front of my sofa (too close from the screen), nor behind the sofa (too far from the screen)... - Because of the lack of lens shift, I had to use the keystone option. I didn't like the affect of keystone : a trapezoid of light were projected above the screen. - Finally, and this is very important experience for those who would like to by this model : This is a DLP projector. I thought that DLP technology was advanced enough to not be bothered by the rainbow effect. The HU80K picture was very very beautiful, but rainbow effect was clearly present, and I felt really bad (headaches, eyes tired) after watching movies more than 1 hour. LG HU80KS : 7/10 + Silent + Very beautiful resolution + Easy setting - DLP technology (rainbow effect / eyes tired / headache) - No lens shift - Zoom range (only 1.2x) - Too much visible Keystone EPSON EH-TW8400 (EH-TW9400 in other countries) Then I decided to sell my HU80KS, and buy an Epson EH-TW8400, a 3LCD projector in the same range of price. I was surprised, after the LG experience, to see so much option of lens shift with the Epson. I could place it behind my sofa, and set it perfectly to fit the image on the screen ! The image is a little bit lower resolution (4K enhanced instead if False 4K for the LG), but all the sources from LD to BD UHD, give a beautiful render. And bye bye the rainbow effect, and other bad effects from DLP. I think my eyes are very sensible, and 3LCD is soft and fit perfectly to me. There is ton of options to get a good picture, and i am still trying lot of different configuration. The best setting I get until now for laserdisc is : for movies : LD player -> Lumagen 4K out -> Projector 4K enhanced, cinema mode. for animation : LD player -> Lumagen 1080p out -> Projector 1080p, soft animation mode (only possible on 1080p), cinema mode. The image is far better than all I could get before with TVs or LCD screens with laserdiscs. I don't know why, maybe it is the projection effect, but all the flickering are gone, even in lumagen deinterlacer in "video mode", for every movies. As I can use lot of interesting effect with the lumagen in this mode, or "auto mode", I use no more "movie mode" (too much chance to get interlaced lines during the movie). EPSON EH-TW8400 : 9/10 + Soft and clean image + lens shift + lot of parameter can be setted - fan noise (but my LD player and my lumagen in 4K mode are louder, then I don't mind) - soft animation mode only on 1080p 2 yearling alter, on 2021, I can say that the EPSON was really a good decision. Everyday is a pleasure to watch movies on it. The image is soft and confortable. Cinéma at home. |
