Shootout:
Samsung SP-A600B Versus Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100
The Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 is Epson's latest addition to their line of 1080p home theater projectors. The two projectors are as different as can be; one is an LCD projector with extensive zoom and lens shift, while the other is a DLP projector with a 1.3:1 zoom and a fixed throw angle. However, their retail prices are within $200 of one another, though actual street price may vary somewhat.
Image clarity.
The major difference between these two projectors, the one thing you will notice before anything else, is the difference in clarity and three-dimensionality. The Home Cinema 8100 has a clearer picture which exhibits less digital noise and looks far more three-dimensional than does the SP-A600B. When placed side-by-side, image noise on the SP-A600B is obvious, and it appears flatter in comparison.
Lumen output.
In its brightest mode, Dynamic, the Home Cinema 8100 measures 1749 lumens to the SP-A600B's 883 in Vivid. For HD sports or multiplayer video games, the Home Cinema 8100 is probably the better choice due to its much higher maximum brightness. However, in Movie 1 mode, the SP-A600B's 570 ANSI lumens is neck-and-neck with the 598 lumens of the Home Cinema 8100 in its Natural mode. For dark-room cinema use, the two projectors' lumen outputs are evenly matched.
Color.
After a little bit of tweaking, the SP-A600B has very good, natural, life-like color, though it was oversaturated and slightly green before adjustment. The Home Cinema 8100, on the other hand, has a well-balanced picture without any noticeable bias, which makes it a better choice for the consumer who wants to "plug and play."
Contrast.
It should come as no surprise that the Home Cinema 8100, which is rated at 36,000:1, has better visible contrast than the SP-A600B, rated at 3000:1. The Home Cinema 8100's picture is brighter, has better definition in shadows, and has deeper blacks than that of the SP-A600B.
In terms of other features which impact usability, the Home Cinema 8100 is the clear winner. It has a 2.1:1 manual zoom lens to the SP-A600B's 1.3:1, highly flexible vertical and horizontal lens shift versus the SP-A600B's fixed throw angle, and a large backlit remote against the SP-A600B's miniature one. It is easier to install and use, and picture quality is excellent.
