Thread: JVC Projectors

    JVC Projectors

    I recently upgraded my older JVC projector to the new JVC NX7. The NX7 is a native 4k projector and it is fantastic. An amazing picture right out of the box.
    It you are considering a projector, take a look at the new line of JVC projectors. This is my third (or fourth?) JVC projector. Every time I get a new one I say that the picture can’t get any better only to eventually realize that I am wrong. I now say that the picture can’t get any better... yet. Unlike audio, video technology changes rapidly. And Projectors need to keep pace.
    So if you considering a new projector or want to explore if a projector might work for you, talk to Mike! He is now a dealer for JVC!

    Re: JVC Projectors

    I bought the same model for myself. I’m continually amazed at the picture quality.

    +1 to JVC projectors. Although other projectors might have the same or comparable specifications, I found the picture quality from JVC to be better.

    I wish I had a room big enough for a projector. My 75” Sony dominates my 10x11 TV room. Have fun.

    Re: JVC Projectors

    Well, I have been a bit late to this party. However, better late than never. I recently had a JVC RS-3100/NX8 installed in my home theater. Its MSRP is $16.000. I spent an additional $6,000 for a Panmorph JC-1 anamorphic lens. This projector replaced a Runco VX-22d which cost me $45,000 plus another $16,000 for the accompanying (upgraded) anamorphic McKinley lens. The JVC uses a laser that lasts 20,000 hours vs the 500 hours life of the xenon bulb used in the Runco (bulb replacement cost ~$400).

    Fortunately, I can say without qualification, the JCV's projected picture is better in every regard (Blu-ray vs. Blu-ray) than the Runco. This JVC model is not cheap, obviously, but its many capabilities provide its owners with a cinema quality video presentation.

    I made the change from JVC bulb to laser. I was just around the 300 hours mark, bulb was showing signs of dimming. Bought JVC NZ8 Highly recommend.

    Enjoy your projector! The new laser technology looks great!
    Your new projector cost less than half the price of the old one and runs circles around it. That seems to be a constant with projectors technology. I learned to switch projectors every 2-3 years because by the time that they are 5 years old nobody wants them! Crazy and expensive hobby!

    Re: JVC Projectors

    I absolutely recommend laser to anyone who can afford it now. The lamp issue with traditional projectors is significant, not only in cost but also in dimming and variability.

    Re: JVC Projectors

    yes there was a significant picture quality change from the bulb to laser. I also new the bulb was a stop gap. We use the theater too much to be bulb reliant. Good thing they are getting cheaper. I remember last couple of years ago the only thing was the Sony at 40k.
