The BenQ looked better than both, with its much higher contrast ratio and darker blacks. The Epson and Optoma actually looked relatively close, although the Epson was noticeably brighter, at least when the Optoma is in one of its more accurate modes colors looked a bit richer on the Epson as well. There are a lot of dark scenes here, especially inside the alien artifact, and plenty of bright colors throughout Medina Station. My first selection was Episode 8 of the fourth season of The Expanse, IMHO the best sci-fi show on TV. I connected them all to the same source via aġx4 distribution amplifier, and viewed them all on a 102-inch 1.0-gain screen. I kept in mind, however, that the 146X is about 25% cheaper than either. I compared the Optoma HD146X to the Epson Home Cinema 2150 and the BenQ HD2050A, two of the better projectors under $1,000 I've tested recently. Like several other aspects you'll read about in a moment, this is almost certainly a result of the effort to keep the HD146X's price down. This limits where you can place the projector, and how large or small the image is at any single mounting point. In this price range, there is no lens shift. In one of its more accurate modes, the HD146X is capable of around 1,100 lumens, which is still plenty for most screens in dark rooms. To get that amount of light requires using a picture mode that hurts color accuracy. I measured a peak of just under 2,000, but that's a bit misleading. Optoma claims 3,600 lumens of light output. There are plenty of third-party offerings online however. It is 3D capable, though there are no 3D glasses available on Optoma's website. Like other projectors in this price range, the HD146X is HD, not 4K, and it doesn't have HDR.
