The Epson has significantly more zoom range and lens shift, as well as better video processing. The Optoma's colors are good, but the Epson's are more accurate. The UHD35 maxed out at approximately 1,500 lumens to the Epson's 2,000. Even without it on hand, we can deduce a lot from its measurements and the issues I found during my review. It's roughly the same price as the 2350, it's also 4K, but uses DLP instead of LCD. Unfortunately, I didn't have the Optoma UHD35 on hand to directly compare.

Since the 2350 does look sharper than the vanilla 1080p of the HC2250, we'll call this a win for the price. The 11000 is more detailed, but again, not as much as you might think. I briefly compared the 2350 to the LS11000, just to check the difference between the two versions of Epson's pixel shift technology. Perhaps most importantly, the BenQ currently costs about half the price of the 2350. The geriatric BenQ still surprisingly holds its own, despite being down on pixels, brightness and features. So overall, the 2350 is definitely an advancement over its predecessor, despite the disappointing decrease in contrast ratio. You can access the included streaming stick from removable panels on the top. With all three images adjacent, in order of detail was 2350 at the top, the the BenQ HT2050, then the 2250 looking the softest. Shots with lots of motion the detail difference is less noticeable, though still there. Slower moving images, especially closeups of faces, look even sharper still.
However, the Epson has twice as many pixels on screen so despite those pixels arriving via pixel shift tech and 1080p LCD panels, the 2350 is definitely sharper.
There's no motion blur so images with lots of motion tend to look sharper on DLP projectors. The Epson is LCD to the BenQ's DLP, and DLP greatest strength is its ultra-sharp images. While the 2350 is 4K to the BenQ's 1080p, the difference in sharpness wasn't as hugely noticeable as you might think. This isn't as huge a difference compared with the difference with contrast and brightness, but it is notable. The colors on the 2350 are more accurate and more vibrant than either of the other projectors here. Not washed out, but not as punchy as either of the other two.Ĭontrast is one of, if not the, most important single performance metric for a projector, but it's not the only metric. There's a reason we still recommend the BenQ after so many years, and that reason is contrast. With bright content this is less obvious, but the BenQ has much more apparent depth than either Epson. Letterbox bars that are quite dim on the BenQ are noticeable on the 2250 and visibly lighter (not good) on the 2350. The older 2250 has a contrast ratio half what the BenQ can produce, with the 2350 a third of the 2250. The contrast ratio, however, was by far the most noticeable difference and not in a good way.
