I’ve seen a couple of these side by side comparisons. And so many keep saying epson looks better and I thought I was going crazy. Idk what they were looking at but Sony just looks so much more detailed and sharper

@TimWat12345 Год назад

I’ve had the same research experience. I always wonder if each person has their own bias. I think to be fair these videos should start being a 3-way comparison. Side by side leads to a bias without context. I’d love to see the Epson LS12000 in between two others, better/worse. How bad can “the best laser” Epson offers be… like throw in the LS11000 or 6050 for context.

@danalove5327 Год назад

This is a helpful comparison video. The description of the two products, though more complete with the Epson, and the detailed, thoughtful side-by-side review was helpful in understanding the merits of each product. It really seemed to by Sony's better image versus Epson's better enclosure.

@braidenking1519 Год назад

I actually live in DFW and was contemplating between this Epson and Sony as well. I saw this video and decided to go check it out myself at they're showroom. The Epson was great but I gotta say the Sony was way better. It was more detailed and over all a sharper image. Only took me a few minutes to come to that decision too. Both are impressive projectors but ill be going with the Sony for sure! Definitely recommend anyone in the DFW area to check out they're showroom; very friendly and very knowledgeable!

@PaulOGrady-tz2yb Год назад

Don't be fooled into thinking the Sony is more resolute....The Sony has a great deal of internal sharpening and processing going on..... I mean A LOT. The Sony is not as sharp/accurate as it may seem on first glance in this comparison. Two key moments in this video to pay attention to: (make sure to watch in 4K, I'm viewing on an OLED screen btw) At 7:49 notice the intense amount of sharpening on the Sony making the Grand Turismo copyright notice lower txt almost unreadable vs the Epson. The Sony, using its Reality Creation engine creates the illusion of detail and sharpness by adding contrast to edges. Seems like the image is Sharpened around 40-50%....definition of txt really bad as a result .... Epson looks as expected. At 8:00 notice the Epsons even dithering of the red side light glow on the Porsche 919. Sharpening/Over processing on the Sony has created banding in the red glow gradient. Both projectors are great, however sharpening doesn't necessarily make a better or more resolute image. I'm not seeing much if any better/increased resolution here from the Sony. If the resolution was really better or clearer on the Sony the text at 7.50 wouldn't have appeared so bad. The Epson seems honest and really good. I'd say the Epsons 700 usable extra lumens are far more valuable than the 'perceived' sharpness of the Sony shown here for my tastes.....particularly if pairing the Epson with a HTPC and Mad VR for instance. If resolution was in fact been better/clearer on the Sony then the text at 7.50 wouldn't have appeared so bad. The processing in the Sony I think is adaptively pushing the dark tones up just a touch also for more clarity to the darks when needed. All in all these are pretty standard "enhancement tricks" in Photo and video editing. Can be cool.....Can screw the pooch!

@DivineAV Год назад

Very detailed and accurate observations. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

@GS-pk9rd Год назад

You'd have to view these in person to make a proper comparison. RU-vid and streaming will compress the image, the filming may not have been in 4k. Your device will process the image you see to some degree. All things being equal the Sony should give a more detailed image due to it's 4k panel that the epson lacks - particularly when viewing 4k content, of course (where you wouldnt select 'Reality Creation' on the Sony, that's more of an aid for 1080p).

@andreiom 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for those accurate observations Paul. When 4K appeared, it seems it took away a part of the mystic cinema. We're used to watch movies with a shallow depth of field, where the character is drawn out of the background, everything around him is blurry. The motion blur vanished under True Motion/ Motion Flow option that many TV has now default. When I watch a film which is 4K, I have the impression I see all unwanted things, all the skin tone pores, all the details and it takes out the magic of cinema. I feel that Epson it doesn't boost the sharpness and details sharpening as I can see at Sony. The 8:00 with the red light is the best example of color banding made by enhancement tricks.

@SuperBloodyskull Год назад

After seeing both of these I think a lot of the difference we are seeing in this video is down to how much artificial sharpening each machine is adding. When both of these processing in turned down or even off the look the same to the naked eye, so based on what I now know I think the Reality Creation on the Sony is set a lot higher than the Image Enhancement on the Epson.

@tc-bladeofgrass6719 Год назад

Great video, thinking of upgrading from the VW590es, it would be nice to see a side by side with the 590 and the 5000. I appreciate the 590 is a couple years older but the 5000 is basically a laser upgrade over the 590, so I'd love to know how much of an improvement the laser brings.

@pedroluciano2643 Год назад

From an installer/ owner of av stuff for the last 27 yrs, you kids are doing a fantastic job with on these reviews. I do have some doubts about the Epsons focus adjustment because it is notoriously ambigous with the 12000. I wish Epson would introduce a wobulation shut off for focus adjustment which would definitely eliminate the issue. It is possible to miss the seet spot easily, if it even exists and have a loss of detail as a result. Thanks for the video.

@yepyep111 Год назад

Interesting video. I've tinkered with the LS12000 settings quite a bit and my image doesn't look nearly as bad as the video. Maybe it just needs more adjustment? I ultimately choose the LS12000 because I read ENDLESS accounts of sonys panel degradation and that's just not something I want to risk. Not to mention on larger screens (135"+) the extra brightness is much appreciated in the Epson. Sony doesn't have a motorized lens like the epson but this isn't a dealbreaker.

@DivineAV Год назад

That particular screen in the video isn’t the best in my opinion. It’s a Stewart screen. We have also been able to accomplish a bit higher quality image. We’ve sold multiple LS 12,000s. It’s an awesome projector and it’s very bright. Let us know if you need anything else for your theater. Thanks buddy

@edl6026 9 месяцев назад

Agreed I seen other comparison where the Epson is significantly brighter. In this comparison the Epson is actually lower in brightness than the Sony. The calibrater really dropped the brightness on the Epson. Ive seen comparison from Jonathan Englen where the Epson holds its own against a JVC NZ7, but that Sony sharpness really stands out and beats both the Epson and JVC NZ7 in sharpness. Both the Epson and NZ7 have similar sharpness and detail levels.

@leov36 Год назад

My home theater shop has both of these on display. Lucky me. The Sony absolutely blew the epson out of the water, no comparison. The Sony was so much more striking that I wondered if the shop had “detuned” the epson for some reason. I don’t know why they would do that? Maybe to push more Sony units 🤷

@DivineAV 2 года назад

Hey there, yes we are on the latest released firmware. We did notice a slight increase in sharpness. When watching the projector on its own, it’s awesome. We have it in a separate demo room and everyone complements the picture. Both image enhancement settings were set at 75%. We may need to crank the Epson up a bit higher. But honestly, Epson is not trying to beat Sony. They are trying to create a very nice and well-rounded product. Both companies are doing a fantastic job and meeting their individual goal set.

While I do think it throws a fantastic picture, I can make out the pixel structure from my first row seating (10') on my 141" scope image. Based on all the Sony XW5000s you've seen, would you say they've have good focus and panel uniformity? I had a VW715 for a brief while, but the white uniformity was pretty bad so I'm been a little hesitant on going back to Sony. Thanks again

@Krbasshead Год назад

I am going to be shooting my NX7 on to a 160” CIH screen. I feel like it won’t have the brightness I need. I’m eyeing the ls12000 as a potential replacement. What are your thoughts on them.

Bonjour Monsieur, je compte acheter un vidéo projecteur EPSON LS 12000 pour le mettre dans une salle de spa sur un écran de 140 pouces. Le jacuzzi sera à 70 pouces de l’écran Pensez-vous qu’à cette distance les clients verront les pixels ? - Pouvez-vous me dire si l’image projetée sera d’excellente qualité pour des vidéos sur la nature en 4K en 30fps ? - Est-ce que l’interpolation d’images améliorera la fluidité sur du 30 fps ? Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses. Le meilleur pour vous.

@jacquesbernard7131 2 года назад

Hello to you. It would seem that the two projectors, calibrated according to you, do not have the same light output on the screen, to the benefit of the Sony, which is less powerful than the Epson. Where does this come from??? Thanks for this video.

@DivineAV 2 года назад

Hey there, thanks for watching. Light output was exactly the same. They were both set around 75%. In the highest setting, the Epson is slightly brighter. In our measurements, we measured 2498 ANSI lumens on the Epson and 2146 on the Sony. At 75%, they were nearly identical with a slight benefit to the Epson. Both units are absolutely fantastic. I would say they are pretty much neck and neck except for perceived resolution, but that’s to be expected because we are talking about a native 4K projector versus a very good shifting projector. Feel free to give us a call if you want to pick either one up. Take care buddy.

It seems to me eyes that the color tonality in Epson looks better than Sony. Not sure, what the exact color science of each video clip is, but lets say for example at 4:15, the image from Sony has a purplish, closer to magenta tint compared to Epson's more grounded, closer to earth blue gray tone. I also find Epson's build quality, as seen in this video to be better, even though Sony has the "cooler" Stars Wars type design. It would be nice for this video to have focused more on film content as well, since the main use for these type of projectors are for Home Theatre and not for gaming. In the final analysis, all these tests, more or less, are a bit blind and subjective since the image is being recorded from a wall or screen, and then re-encoded through you tube's compression etc.

@mikehendrickson85 Год назад

Great video, it was a very interesting comparison. This is obviously a well informed channel but I have to ask with all respect if this was the most fair comparison possible? I noted you said you calibrated the projectors the same, but for as much hype as I've heard surrounding the LS12000, based on this video that Sony VPL absolutely blows it out of the water in every single way. The colors, the sharpness, the contrast, none of it was even close. Even alone the Epson looked surprisingly disappointing, so again I'm just kinda wondering if it was set to the best settings possible? Most people who can afford a $5k projector can probably afford a $6k projector, so are there actually any good reasons not to choose the Sony?

@DivineAV Год назад

We made it as fair as possible. The Epson definitely has an incredible feature set. Having the ability to do geometry correction, build quality and brightness is fantastic. By itself it is actually pretty good. Side-by-side, the Sony beat it in sharpness. Put a MadVR on the units and it’s a whole different ball game. Far more equal.

It does frame by frame HDR tone mapping unlike anything you’ve ever seen. This is far superior to any other tone mapping on the market. I have had customers challenge us with specific content and we were able to exceed their expectations. Mad VR extreme does advanced nonlinear stretching and therefore has the ability to remove or reduce the black bars that you get from 2.39 content. It also does Advanced image enhancement, upscaling, extreme shadow recovery, curved screen manipulation and way more. This is on display in our Frisco show room. If you’re interested, we are happy to get you more information and put you with one of our professional system design experts. These are very advanced products ranging from $8000-$13,500 MSRP.
