Vivitek H9080FD Projector - Image Quality-4

Posted on January 1, 2009 by Art Feierman

Our last comparison uses the night train scene from Casino Royale. Look to the trees and shrubs on the right, especially just above the tracks. The first image is the Vivitek H9080FD, followed by the JVC DLA-RS20. The third one is the Mitsubishi HC7000, and the last one is from the Panasonic PT-AE3000.

The Vivitek does produce very good shadow detail, although you can also tell that blacks are not as dark as on the JVC RS20.

Another good image for observing shadow detail is this very dark scene from the first National Treasure film. The H9080FD performs more than well enough. This image is dramatically overexposed to allow you to view the darkest shadow details. Look to any dark area in the frame, but especially in the upper right steps. It handles those particularly well.:
