If Epson had made it 3D compatible, I would have purchased it.I think that's still the biggest advantage for projectors. No modern TV does 3D. And that extra brightness would have been perfect. Jvc and Sony still include it. Maybe the next Epson model.

agreed. JVC it is.

I’m looking heavily into the Epson LS for my next unit. Currently sitting with the 4010 and it still looks good. I just have a hard time justifying jumping from the LS to the JVC or Sony. This thing truly looks amazing!!

Can you do a cheaper Ls800 vs a LS12000 to see if you can tell any major difference? I have the budget for both but a UST seems more convenient.

Do you recommend I go though Benq for replacement lamps ? Really hoping for insight hear thanks anyways.

is 6050 in high lamp mode, and how many hours has the lamp run? is the 6050 in dynamic color mode? and has it been calibrated? what color mode is the ls12000 in?

It looks a little briter but you can adjust the settings on the bulb projector making it bright. Add Contrast and color if it needs it. I know i have a Viewsonic 4K.

Which lamp mode and color mode on the 6050? You gave no insight into settings. Moreover we are looking via your camera which had a fixed iris set so no adaptaion like a human eye would do. Differences are exaggerated.

Is that a 16:9 screen? If you put the 12000 on a 140in scope the image would pop

Hard to compare without settings(a lot options on Epsons),hours on lamp. Ls12000 is just 100 lumens brighter on paper. If you engage dci filter on ub6050, difference would be explainable maybe! In terms of difference: 2200€ price gap/difference here.. And the ub6050 is more in the back of the room as well (light loss)..ls12000 picture looks greenish compare to ub6050 here.

Impossible that 6050 is looking so dim. Its a light canon. Something wrong with the settings.🙄

Perhaps its because of the 170" screen, might be too large for the 6050? I would be really interested to see the difference on 120" screen between the two.

That setup is perfect!

Which projection screen is that?

Epson LS12000 is no joke guys! You’re not gonna find anything else that comes close in comparison for the price.

If you need brightness over black levels and contrast, the ls12000 is king of the hill at its price point. If not, JVC NP5 is king. If you hate yourself, there is also the Sony xw5000es.

@ChristianBungert To be fair I haven't seen the 5000, but I did see the 7000 at Audio Advice Live last year and the tone mapping was so bad I was embarrassed for the Sony rep, especially given everyone was directly comparing it to the JVC in the next room. By the numbers, Sony has worse black floor, worse tone mapping for HDR, and half the native contrast compared to JVC. No HDMI 2.1 input. The only pros over the JVC NP5 are laser light engine which doesn't matter for PQ and reality creation, which a lot of people dislike anyway. It's marginally brighter, but if you really need a lot of brightness you would probably go for the Epson. I can't really think of any scenario where the Sony is best in this price range.

I have spent time with both in direct comparison and I have to disagree with most. The new projector has many positive things - 120Hz gaming, newer, brighter perception and perhaps crisper. However, the 6050 displays differently due to the difference between bulb and laser. I prefer by far the light from a bulb over a laser since the laser gives up a LED tv effect when presenting the image on the screen. If you like the sharper image by all means the LS12000 but I bought the 6050UB because I like the image being closer to film and the natural light effect. I hope by the time I have to go laser it is like LCD tv's catching up to oled and they can give back the more natural lighting I prefer.

You can change the RGBY settings with calibration to look natural, flat or dynamic. I tested with this projector and you can make it to what you describe.

The laser LS1200 will eventually move to 80% brightness as it ages over lifetime. That is years away. I think the best take away for this, is the 6050 bulb, not used but a few times a week was already degraded beyond what the LS12000 would be 3-4 years from now. The improved boot time, the increased color gamut, saturation, blacks, and native 4k, really mark a huge improvement.

nice comparison just wish the LS12000 had the option to change lenses. I need to place my projector at the rear of the room so the LS has too short of a throw

For that size of screen, how close is LS12000 to the Epson EB-PU1007B?

@ThatHomeTheaterDude

Жыл бұрын

Funny you should ask. I just installed the 1007 in a customers house with a 160 inch screen. There is defiantly a brighter image with the 1007 but the hdr on the 12000 is really good. I’d say for images under 135, it’s hard to beat the 12000. Anything after that you’re trading brightness for overall size.

For. Non native projection the LS12000 is really good and the colors really pop v. The Sony I would say it was a little washed with the black levels and not as sharp as the Sony.

I have a Viewsonic 4K projector.and Compared it to a BenQ laser projector. The pic, color, brightness, sharpness was close to the SAME. You can adjust all the setting.

This review sucks. You dont lets us know what setting the 6050 is at.

The LS12000 looks so much better in this comparison. I have a 5040ub and I find that it struggles the most with HDR, the blacks just get washed out. I've now got madvr doing tone mapping for it and its a massive improvement. I've heard that the stock tone mapping on the 5040/5050 kinda sucks and it greatly benefits from external tone mapping. I'd be curious to see if the LS12000 is leaving lots on the table, and can be equally improved with external tone mapping, or if its sort of already a lot closer to ideal.

Having owned the 5040, the 6050 and the LS12000, sell the 5040 while you can get something for it, and upgrade. If not this one, the next! The HDR capabilities on the 5040UB are abysmal. Each generation seems to handle it better.

I get it, 6050 is a great projector. All the guys that own it are trying to make themselves feel better that it’s as good as the LS1200, it’s NOT! 6050 best bank for buck projector period. He’s not here to calibrate this and that. He showed both real quick and I’m sure both can get better, but if you can’t see the Difference your crazy, but is it worth double the $$?? Maybe if you got it. Wonder if the 1100 is almost just as good as that price is a little more acceptable for us poor folk. I still may get 6050 (better deal and looks amazing) but a fresh bulb isn’t going to make it even with the LS1200. 6050 Is GREAT!!!! LS1200 is Greater and it should be for $5K!!! That extra $2,500 may not be worth the difference to many. But LS100 makes it $1,500 more.

This is my room. I have had this projector now 6 months. In that time the laser has not dimmed in a meaningful way, and this bulb was 6 months old during this comparison. If you think a projector bulb should only last a few months before becoming too low to see then you can side on the side of bulbs. Life isn't always quantifiable, but taking lessons learned on the whole. Take away the good, and there is much good to be learned here.

it kind of is..gradual dimming of the image is a major downside to bulb projectors. These projectors are pretty close on paper. This video does a great of showing how much of a difference a laser projector makes. All my projectors get so dark near the end of the bulb..i also HATE changing the bulb so im not changing it prematurely either. If the 6050 had 2000 hours the difference would be INSANE. Unfortunately the LS1200 is 2x the price of 5050ub and i think a good chunk of that is covid inflation. The LS12000 would have been a good 1000-1500 cheaper otherwise.

Yep: ret..😂 6050 got good brightness level and bulbs can last many thousand hours. Bulb based projectors drop ~15-25% of brightness after a few hundred hours. So LS12000 is 100lumen brighter, doesn't lose brightness and got adaptive gamma. I haven't found a reason to spend that much more and go from 6050 to ls12000 maybe skip it and move on to successor of that..
