关于VW60的话:
我也注意到了Projectorcentral 上到那篇评测VW60的文章,我在日本店里的经历也比较赞同他的观点,但是,其实他的文章有个问题,即缺乏测试数据。
其实,投机机评测还有一个更有名的杂志叫《Ultimate AV》,它不仅有评价,最后都附有测试数据。大家可以搜索一下。
下边是我摘录都它关于VW60,SANYOZ2000,EPSON等等测试数据部分,大家不难发现,其实VW60的实际数据还是很高的。我的感觉是就对比度来说,JVC HD1 HD100最高,EPSON 2000次之,再者就是VW60。
Sony VPL-VW60 SXRD Video Projector
By Thomas J. Norton • February, 2008 Contrast and Overscan
In the Auto1 Advanced Iris setting, I measured a superb peak dynamic contrast ratio of 14,200:1 (!) (14.2 foot-Lamberts peak white, 0.001fL video black). In practice, this may be somewhat less, since 0.001 is the lowest specified sensitivity of our recently calibrated Minolta LS-100 light meter. I took at least a dozen readings and the meter did read 0.002 several times, but 0.001 predominated. I checked several other combinations of the lamp and iris settings. The worst case was with the iris on manual, fully open, and the lamp on High: a peak contrast ratio of 2476:1 (19.81fL peak white, 0.008fL video black). Note that this peak light output is roughly the same as the best I obtained from Sony's $15,000 VPL-VW200! (The Black Pearl had just under 200 hours on the lamp when these readings were taken.) With the Overscan control set to Off, overscan via both component and HDMI was 1.5% or less on each side in 480i and 480p, and 0% on all sides in 720p and 1080i. Addendum for Sony VPL-VW60 Measurements After the measurements were completed and the review was turned in for editing and posting, I took a second look at the calibration settings. They produced a good grayscale, but they also involved a considerable reduction in the green color-temperature controls, particularly Green Gain (the high end of the brightness range). Since the eye is most sensitive to green, I wondered if I could wring a bit more brightness from the projector by increasing these green settings and adjusting the other controls as needed to maintain an accurate grayscale. So I attacked the calibration once again, beginning with all the custom color-temperature controls set to zero. Sure enough, the new calibration produced a higher light output. My new settings were: Contrast: 95
Brightness: 47
White Balance
Gain: Red +19, Green -9, Blue -22
Bias: Red +5, Green 0, Blue -6 Most of the other settings remained the same, though I needed to decrease the Color control slightly and increase the Hue a few clicks toward green for the most natural skin tones. Following these changes, I took a number of new peak contrast readings with different Advanced Iris and Lamp Control settings (all of them, as before, on my Studiotek 130 screen). 1. My preferred setup:
Iris: Auto1
Lamp Control: Low
Peak white: 16.74fL
Black level: 0.002fL
Peak contrast ratio: 8370:1 2. If you prefer a fixed iris:
Iris: Manual-Max
Lamp Control: Low
Peak white: 15.70fL
Black level: 0.007fL
Peak contrast ratio: 2243:1 3. If you need more output for a larger screen:
Iris: Auto1
Lamp Control: High
Peak white: 25.75fL
Black level: 0.003fL
Peak contrast ratio: 8583:1 4. As in 3, but with a fixed iris
Iris: Manual-Max
Lamp Control: High
Peak white: 24.34fL
Black level: 0.010fL
Peak contrast ratio: 2434:1 The new post-calibration grayscale curves are not shown here, since there were no dramatic changes. The new color temperature did measure slightly higher than 6500K across much of the brightness range, but on average, it was as near to the D65 standard as before. The main subjective change on real program material was increased light output. The extra 2.5fL in the Low lamp setting was clearly visible. It did mean a slight sacrifice in black level and peak contrast—the change in black from 0.001fL to 0.002fL with the iris at Auto1 is visually marginal, but it does cut the measured contrast ratio roughly in half. Some viewers might prefer the earlier setup, but the new one added significant punch. In any event, on a larger screen than mine, the added brightness should be welcome. I can also now say, with some confidence, that the Black Pearl is brighter than the Pearl.
Sanyo PLV-Z2000 1080p LCD Projector
By David Vaughn • January, 2008 Contrast and Overscan
In the Normal iris setting, Iris range at -30, I measured a peak contrast ratio of 3138:1 (12.55 foot-Lamberts peak full-field white, 0.004fL video black. Interesingly, however, changing the Iris range to zero did not affect the black level reading at all but increased the peak full-field white output to 14.1 for a peak contrast reading of 3503:1 Overscan in both HDMI was zero across the board, and only increased to 1.5% in component 480i/p at the left and right sides of the image.—Thomas J.

By John Higgins • July, 2007 Projected 1080p for the masses has arrived. PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 LCD Projector, $3,000
Full-On/Full-Off Contrast Ratio—6,852:1; ANSI Contrast Ratio—211:1 Measured Resolution with the Leader LT-446:
480: 480(per picture height)
720p: 720 (pph)
1080i: 1,080 (pph) DC Restoration (poor, average, good, excellent): Excellent Color Decoder (poor, average, good, excellent): Excellent Measured Color Points:
Red Color Point: x=0.665, y=0.330
Green Color Point: x=0.261, y=0.659
Blue Color Point: x=0.150, y=0.048 Measured Color Points After Calibration:
Red Color Point: x=0.640, y=0.329
Green Color Point: x=0.300, y=0.624
Blue Color Point: x=0.152, y=0.059 The top chart shows the PowerLite Home Cinema's gray scale relative to its color temperature at various levels of intensity, or brightness (20 IRE is dark gray; 100 IRE is bright white). The gray scale as set by the factory, in the 6,500 K color-temperature mode, measures very warm with dark images and less warm with brighter images. After making adjustments using the Photo Research PR-650, the gray scale measures very close to D6500, the accurate color temperature, across the entire range. The bottom chart shows the gray scale (or color temperature) relative to the color points of the display's red, green, and blue liquid-crystal panels. These are fairly off those specified by SMPTE. Red is somewhat oversaturated. Green is very oversaturated and somewhat bluish-green. Blue is very slightly undersaturated and very slightly purplish-blue. Some color-point adjustment is possible. After calibration, green is only slightly oversaturated, red is pretty much spot-on, and blue is ever so slightly undersaturated. After calibration, and using a full-field 100-IRE white (6.852 foot-lamberts) and a full-field 0-IRE black (0.001 ft-L), the contrast ratio was 6,852:1. Using a 16-box checkerboard pattern (ANSI contrast), the contrast ratio was 211:1. The best contrast ratio was achieved with the Brightness Control (the lamp) set to Low and the auto iris set to On. The brightest image was achieved with the Brightness Control set to High and the auto iris set to On. This mode produced 8.993 ft-L with a 100-IRE field and 0.002 ft-L on a 0-IRE field for a contrast ratio of 4,497:1 (on an 87-inch-wide, 1.0-gain Da-Lite Da-Mat screen).—GM
