Hi
Anyone have thoughts on how much an upgrade the 7300/9300 would be compared to my Sony VW 50 'Pearl' ?

hi David
the Sony 50 Pearl in its day was a nice projector, imo both the 73/9300 will be much brighter than the Sony and the 9300 will have better contrast, infact probably the 7300 will have as well if i'm honest.
What you won't want to be doing is replacing a lamp in your Pearl, the last time i asked about one i seem to remember it was £600 +
from memory it had around 15,000:1 contrast and 900 lumens output so i think you'll find most modern projectors should be quite a bit brighter

Thanks very much for your reply and information, very much appreciated.
I do have a spare brand new bulb for the Sony, and do I like what I can see as a 'filmic' look to the Sony, though it is the shadow detail, I would like to see an improvement/upgrade..and I suppose a wide colour spectrum would be good...
Does the price drop mean the models are about to be replaced?
So does the “while stocks last” price drop mean the 7300 is discontinued?100% no as far as i’m concerned and understand

I had a Sony 55ES which I had for 2 years and loved - sold to a mate who is still enjoying it a lotThanks very much for your reply and information, very much appreciated.

Unfortunately it doesn't auto change from SDR to HDR or UHD which is disappointing seeing that it does change for a 3D sourceWith the 7300 does it play nicely with Sky Q? My setup will be Sky Q and Sony X800 plugged into a Marantz SR7011 which will feed the 7300.
Will the project always simply play the best quality it can or do you have to play around with settings every time the quality of the source changes. For example on Sky Q you get SD, HD and some UHD content.
Just wondering how it handles everything and how you need to setup the projector so it’s as seamless as possible.
I have my Sky Q set at 4k resolution all the time, it scales SD and HD automatically.So say you’re watching something on Sky that’s SD and you change channel to a HD channel, what happens?
Of course the Epson will upscale SD HDSo one person saying it’s not auto and another saying it is...confused!
It just plays. If Sky Q set to 2160p the image enhancement on PJ is automatically engaged as it will always be receiving a 4K signal. The Sky box does the scaling and PJ is receiving 2160p even if you are watching an SD/HD channel.Ok so let me tweak my question.
I set my Sky Q box to 2160p 8bit or 10bit, and I watch BBC One HD, I then download a UHD film on Sky and press play. Does the projector just play or am I going to have to go into settings and make changes?
Like wise for my Sony X800, if I play a normal DVD vs a UHD disc?
Just want to make sure I’m not setting myself up for a system that needs constant settings changes. It would be ok for me but this is going in the living room so my missus/kid just want to press play and away it goes.
Hi, are you using the harmony skill with your echo or have you done a custom ifttt? I have both setups and the lens cover opens and closes every time. I have been using this for about a year.Puzzled...I have my TW 9300 W set to start via an Alexa command
“ Alexa projector on” this works fine...trigger operates screen...
I found that Direct Power was needed to override stand by ...all works fine ..trouble is ...” Alexa projector off” works but...the lens cover stays open? Tried most things..any ideas most welcome...
Use some of the recommended settings from this thread, I find that natural or cinema works best for skyq and Blu-ray and digital cinema is best for 4k. So basically once set you press 1 button select which picture mode for the relevant source job done.Ok so let me tweak my question.
