If you are buying a projector for your home theater and you’re looking at things like the Epson LS11000, 12000, or 5050UB, you should forget about those and buy the Valerion Max instead. Last year when I tested the Valerion Pro 2 I said it was basically flawless and the Max has taken that solid baseline performance of the Pro 2, added an iris for increased contrast, vertical lens shift for flexibility in placement, and an RBE reduction feature that more than triples the color cycles per frame. To my eye they’ve also eliminated the color shifts with EBL that were introduced with the EBL high and low update, and the Max also adds another layer of flexibility with the external lens mounting system, so if the Max is in your budget and you need the flexibility, it’s basically a no brainer.
