Help need to setup HT - Epson tw 8100

[anm]

do u see only blacks - do greys that should show as grey. What abt shadow details?

I have the 6100 and really i have been trying to find any shades of grey in the blacks but have failed so far. I have watched Skyfall blu-ray, which has great reference dark scenes, numerous times only to try and find if i can spot some weakness in black but nope. I wonder how Bond's suit could have been blacker than what i see with 6100. It is pitch black!!! I'm sure the experts are not lying but really i don't know how i can see blacker blacks than what i'm seeing. Our forum member Harshi_n took a demo of both 8100 and 6100 and couldn't notice any difference either. My point is please demo both before plonking the cash. You might be able to spot the difference or you might not - so why shell out extra.
Lens shift is another story altogether and is a killer feature to have. Lack of lens shift can give you headaches during installation - but once installed i guess you don't really fiddle with it much.
Zoom is more than adequate in 6100 except if you have terrible installation restrictions (ex: for some reason you MUST hang the PJ 6 feet from screen but sit 20 feet away so need a bigger screen).

Plz also suggest Benq W1070 or Epson TW 8100- one is DLP and the other is LCD?? Any visible diff both in movies as well as gaming..
If possible if some one can guide the performance of the two if there is some light in the room.

Thanks

No personal experience with Dlp projectors so can't tell you how good or different it is compared to LCD PJs like the epson, but I'm pretty satisfied with my epson tw8100. Check out projectorreviews.com and read the reviews for both these projectors. Don't even bother looking at any other website. It'd be a waste of time.

As owning Epson 5010e pj - I confirm that the picture quality is excellent both in 2D and 3D - The screen door effect is visible only when you get closer to the screen.
Reg the DLP - heard about the Rainbow effect
Take a demo material and check it in person. Trust your Eyes...

I got the w7000 recently. It is amazingly bright and has lovely colors. Black levels are not as bad as reviews suggest. Will watch more - it takes about 50 hours for the PJ to break-in/ settle down. It will take similar time for excitement to settle down and reality to creep in.
My next projector would certainly be a JVC/ Sony ES - but only when they have 4k native in 3-4k budget.
