Test Bench: Eight Budget HDTV Projectors
(continued)
Samsung SP-H710AE
Color temperature (before/after calibration)
Low window (30 IRE): 7,053/6,500 K
High window (80 IRE): 6,964/6,501 K
Brightness (100-IRE window before/after calibration): 12.7/12.1
Before calibration the Samsung SP-H710AE's grayscale varied by an average of 549K, third-best of the group, but it pulled into first afterward at 45K. Its real-world contrast ratio of 125:1 was second-best. Primary-color accuracy was also best in the group — excellent for red, green, and blue, all three — and color decoding was spot-on for both SD and HD sources. Resolution via 720p DVI was perfect, but some high-frequency interference was visible via component-video; other resolutions were excellent (the DVI port could not accept 480i, however). Edge enhancement was nonexistent with all sources. Uniformity was superb, and black levels did not fluctuate depending on program content. Overscan was 0%, focus was perfect, and no fringing was visible on convergence test patterns. Standard-def video processing was excellent on all HQV tests.
