    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    That's what I'm trying to find out. Was 11 lumens from some midpoint from an undisclosed distance to a 100" screen (most of these reviewers calculate to a default of a 100" screen)? And was the 11 lumens pre or post glasses? I can only assume its 11 lumens off the screen not thru the glasses...

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    My throw is 20 ft to a 120" treated wall in a "cave" with very low ambient light. I'm looking for anyone with similar long throws using a benq w7000 in 3d. Is there enough light? Livolsi claims 1100 lumen in 3D but another review calculated just 3fl in 3d. What's the real story from someone...

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    So Sam, do well built LCDs inherently have both better black and white levels than DLPs, giving them better contrast and thus better color? I can see where you'd notice a difference in "pop" where white or black areas abut colors. The colors would stand out more next to pure black or white...

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    I've decided to go with benq w7000. The sharpness and brightness are the big factors and the price is sinking like a rock with word of a new w7500 coming out, though we don't know when. And no one's given any reason how black level affects normal TV viewing or how it even does much for movies...

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    Thanks Jim... Can I ask how you got to the Fl figures? All I was going on was the pro calculator and several comments from reviewers: ProjectorCenter.com "in Cinema mode, the W7000's 909 lumens and the 5010's 827 lumens are functionally the same, as differences that small cannot be seen...

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    Thanks for your advise Sam. As regards other choices neither the Mitsubishi nor the Panny will fit my room according to the pro calculator at ProjectorCentral. I need a 20 ft throw to a 120inch wall that's been treated with as I recall a special paint called Goo. It's handled my 8720's 1000...

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    That's what I thought 7 years ago. The Benq was the clear winner over LCD back then particularly re: sharpness, clarity and light level. But haven't the lcd's caught up since then and clearly won the black level war? How important is black level anyway?Bob

    Epson 5020 vs Benq w7000?

    These appear to be my best options given my Parameters of price (under 3000), throw ratio (2.0 or more), and 3d. After 7years my Benq 8720 bit the dust (loud crack as the color wheel Shattered). So I want a modest upgrade. I've read the reviews but not seen the 5020 or 7000 in action. Please...
