No, quello che hai letto riguarda il confronto tra il 9000(5010) e il 6000(3010).
L'epson 5500 corrisponde all'americano UB8700, che trovi nella stessa pag più in basso a confronto col 9000(5010)
Epson 5010 vs. Epson Home Cinema 8700UB (attenzione, nell'articolo hanno scritto panasonic anziche epson ma è un refuso)
All I can say is this: If you are willing to take a pass on 3D, for the duration of your next purchase, then by all means, grab an Epson Home Cinema 8700UB while supplies last (Nov. 11). Besides 3D you'll give up the following:
Brightness. The 5010 is brighter when calibrated for 6500K, and a good bit brighter at its brightest.
Split Screen capabilities. A nice touch, but most of us have lived long healthy lives without this feature (not unlike CFI).
There are other minor changes, and firmware improvements, no doubt. And of course, the new panels and new physical design (same lens). Ultimately though, the 2D performance other than brightness seems to be pretty much the same. I don't expect that the 8700UB projectors will be around very long, though, but they make a good option, while they are.
