Epson LS12000 Laser vs 6050 Bulb Projector Really Worth the Upgrade??

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.

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

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

Would you say 140 inches is too big or the sweet spot for the LS12000?

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?

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.

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!!

Which projection screen is that?

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.

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

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.

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.

re-run the test with a fresh lamp in the 6050..

That setup is perfect!

I love my LS12000. When my wife and i were watching Dune we couldnt turn the light output above 75% or the bright scenes or explosions made us squint. Bang for the buck you really cant beat it.

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

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

How far away was the LS12000 from the 170 “ screen please ?

Sir can u plss say What is the present height of the room including the screen height

Settings would've been great to know. Was fun watching you play with blanking lol. Epson ditched 3D on their new models? I don't get why the F they would screw us like that? A-holes went tech backwards.
