I have a TW6100W that has done good service, but I found I could have decent colours and greys not blacks, or darker greys and a bit of a dimmer look. And I did play with the different mode setting, but anything brighter than 'normal' made the dark areas too light. The slightly washed out look made me go for an LG65 OLED recently, which is excellent.
However, I sometimes miss the drama of a big screen experience, and as we still have the projector screen up at the top of the wall, I'm wondering whether the newer breed of projectors are, in real world terms, better. The newer contrast ratios appear excellent and a step on, but I'm aware this is a somewhat misleading figure.
I'm looking at the Optima UHD40, or something similar (in budget at least). I do tend to see colour fringing (at least, a couple of years ago on the DLP projectors I did, not seen one recently) but am open to newer ones being better too.
Would this represent a decent upgrade, with better blacks and so on?
I can get the room pretty dark.
