Testurteil: "Hot Product"
Test: Einzeltest: LG CF181D
Zitat: Pros: + A dazzling 900 lumens in "best" mode, makes handling larger screens easy, and dynamic
+ Almost 1400 "brightest" mode lumens, and pretty good color to boot great for sports viewing or fighting some ambient light.
+ Excellent color, post calibration, especially skin tones which really do look a touch better than some very good projectors
+ Reasonably good "enough" black levels, though not great
+ Better than average placement flexibility with 1.8:1 zoom and lens shift
+ Dynamic iris, though not producing the blackest blacks, does offer pretty smooth operation
+ Iris can be put in manual mode, if projector too bright, but iris can not perform dynamically, so black levels not as good.
+ Offers creative frame interpolation (some limits)
+ Takes 24fps film to 48fps (2:2 pull-down)
+ Excellent remote control
+ Overall, a most impressive picture, plus all those lumens make for the CF181D´s superior price performance
Cons: - CFI has some jerky artifacts when using with 24fps film content. Not recommended for movie viewing
- Black level performance, while pretty good, would need to be better still to compete with the best in the LG´s price range
- Documentation pretty basic, though generally helpful, but lacks good descriptions of many features. For example, Real Cinema On, 24fps 1080 becomes 48fps. Set it Off and it uses 3:2 pulldown. It´s not explained in the manual.
- No anamorphic lens support
- Menus, otherwise logical, pack too many items per menu, requiring scrolling, and making it harder to find features
- Changing out the lamp requires unmounting from a ceiling mount
- Overscan not operational with 1080 source material, and no edge masking either (bummer)
- Could be a little quieter (23 db in ecomode, probably about 2728 at full power?)
- Despite 1920x1080 native resolution, does not support data resolutions of 1600x1200 UXGA, or 1920x1200 WUXGA.
