  New Epson Projectors Deliver Deep Blacks

By Mendelson Tiu | Wednesday | 18/02/2009

The new 1080p projectors from Epson claims to provide users with better colours, deeper blacks, and judder-free images, thanks to its new processing chip, lamp, and LCD panel.

The EH-TW5000 and EH-TW4000 deliver an incredible 75,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio with Epson's innovative DeepBlack technology and new version of Epson's E-TORL lamp, which produces deep blacks by increasing the native contrast ratio of the projector by a factor of about four.

These outstanding home cinema projectors each have 3 of Epson's latest generation D7 C2Fine LCD panels with larger apertures to increase the native contrast of the projector, and Epson's Crystal Clear Fine filters that reduce light leakage and further increase native contrast.

The EH-TW5000 and EH-TW4000 have a 12 bit driver for the image processors to deliver smoother colour gradation by reproducing up to 68.72 billion colours. The two projectors also use Epson's FineFrame interpolation technology to deconstruct and reconstruct the signal from High Definition video sources such as Blu-ray players for a consistent 1080p frame rate output of up to 120 Hz.

During their demonstration today, we saw that judders (in BBC's Planet Earth) were suppressed, with pictures looking smoother and sharper in comparison to a projector that costs $2,000 more.

In addition to this, mosquito and noise were kept to a minimum, with the landscape looking smoother and less jagged. According to Minoru Nagata, Product Planning Manager for Epson, this is because of the HQV Reon VX Video Processor from IDT as well as the OptiCinema lens system on the new projectors.
