It's possible they're achieving a 10,000:1 C/R by using an iris system or some other video processing circuitry. Contrast ratio measurements are so inconsistent across brands anyway, so your best bet is to read reviews and see if you can look at the picture yourself. Only you can decide if it looks good enough to you. From everything I can find out, the HD80 is a DarkChip2 projector.

So i`m confuse, if it`s DarkChip-2, why use it in a 1080P projector where the DarkChip-3 would be much better, at least i think. And if it`s really DarkChip-2, what makes it possible to deliver a 10000.1 contrast ? Well i hope to hear from you soon, my best regards, Karl Hi, i`ve read in a different article that the HD-80 had a
