Il 5500 ha un leggero ma visibile vantaggio in termini di nitidezza sul pana,
a parità di condizioni (cioè tutti i controlli sullo sharpness disattivati):

What about sharpness.
Both are "typical" or "average" in sharpness among 1080p projectors. That said, when I have all those dynamic contrast and detail/sharpness features dialed down to minimum, the Epson does appear very slightly sharper. The side by side image of most of the PS3 display screen show here, is a good example. All that small text looks a little bit sharper on the Epson.
Those projectors that are sharper than either of these two are mostly DLP projectors (single chip devices so no convergence issues). When it comes to mis-convergende, the Panasonic and Epson projectors I have here are roughly comparable to each other.
I don't see, however, a really noteworthy difference between these two. Both have several sharpness and contrast, and detail enhancing controls, which can be used to end up with a sharper appearing, "crisper" looking image, but using them more than a little, does take a toll in overall image quality, as expected. I'll use those controls more on content like sports and pure digital content (ie. Discovery HD, or Planet Earth), but tend to be more conservative with movies. For example, when I want the image to look crisper, say for football, with the Epson I'll have contrast enhancement at 1 and Super Resolution on 2. For a similar setting on the Panasonic, Clarity control to on, and Detail Enhancement to +4.
Bottom line: Pretty much a tie, but if I had to pick one, the Epson does have the slight advantage, before you start playing with creating a crisper look with the "artificial" dynamic contrast and sharpness controls.
Con il SR di Epson, poi, il vantaggio aumenta sensibilmente, considerando anche
la maggiore luminosità in cinema mode
