Sharp XV-Z20000 1080p Home Theater Projector Review – Image Quality2

This second pair is from the JVC. (note the “overexposed” JVC image is a bit less overexposed than the Sharp version). Once again, both are very close overall. In the more critical comparison, on the live screen, the JVC gets the slight advantage, but, I emphasize again, these two are extremely close. Your final decision to pick one over the other is, most likely, going to be based on other aspects, rather than black levels and shadow detail, although you may consider it as one factor.

As previously mentioned, the Sharp projector was consistently a pleasure to watch. Color saturation was very good, and images overall, were rich and dynamic. Remember, the XV-Z20000 in particular offers a huge amount of image control. For example I found that engaging the Brilliant Color option, improved it’s “pop” or “wow” factor, but skin tones were a bit less natural – a little hard looking.
