Epson Home Cinema 1060 vs Optoma HD142X review

Epson Home Cinema 1060 vs Optoma HD142X – any differences?

Epson Home Cinema 1060 – an awesome projector

I was really pleased with the brightness and resolution of the tested Epson Home Cinema 1060. I’ve got great sharp images despite my projector was standing on a coffee table about 24 inches off the floor. The automatic Keystone correction was really helpful, it corrected the picture and find the perfect projected square.

The menu system of the Epson Home Cinema 1060 is easy to use. I can access it from the remote control and adjust some settings like contrast, dynamic mode, cinema mode or eco mode, etc. Besides, the instructions include pictures that are easy to follow.

Optoma HD142X – a gorgeous image with good contrast

The video image projected by Optoma HD142X is clear and sharp from edge to edge. I find the black level excellent during the dark scenes. Optoma HD142X allows five picture modes such as vivid, game, cinema, bright, and reference. The lamp is able to run for 5000 hours and more in eco mode. It is small enough so I can take projector anywhere.
