Optoma HD8200 Projector - Image Quality - 6

Posted on March 29, 2009 by Art Feierman

In general, space type scenes do look good on the HD8200. Remember, though, these are taken with the dynamic iris on. With it not engaged, black levels are not quite as good, and the space scenes tend to look a bit flat!

Shadow Detail Comparison

HD8200
Epson Home Cinema 6500UB
Panasonic PT-AE3000

 

 

 

The Sanyo does the best job on shadow detail, followed by the Panasonic, and then the Epson, which has always been just a little weak on shadow details.

Satellite Comparison

HD8200 Over Large

 

 

 

The following images are the same frame, from Space Cowboys. The first one is slightly overexposed, and the second one, more so.Definitely one of the better projectors on this scene, but still not up to the very best.

When comparing, look at the detail in the roof (tiles), and also in the assorted trees and plants. The small images below (all from the same projector) show a slightly overexposed scene. Click on the images and the larger versions of the different projectors, are far more overexposed, to allow a closer inspection of shadow details.
