For those with JVC Projectors

If anyone’s interested I have a 3.5 year old JVC 400u DILA with 225 original hours on it (I have numerous projectors and other display devices so haven’t used this one that much.) Was 4K new, sell 1400.00 plus shipping. It throws a superb image with class leading contrast ratio and 1750 lumens.

Cheers......
 
i looked; did not see anything helpful for my JVC DLA-RS4500K projector. did i miss something?

i still love it every time i watch it.

suppose i should reach out to the dealer that sold it to me.

No, it’s for the new series like the NX7.

I recently made a purchase of the NX-7 about 1 month ago, which has the firmware 3.1 installed. Will be very interesting to see what this new update is considering they made a YouTube video to boast about it. Can't wait.:entertaining:
 
Am I wrong these HDR projectors as good as they are, mainly are for people that buy 4K high resolution blu-ray? I watch mainly NetFlix streaming that offers only 1080p on a 7 year old JVC R66. I'm sure the contrast on the newer projectors is much better, but the PQ even on this projector looks really good. If NetFlix ever offers 4k I would be interested.

I would say yes. 4K is a big part of it. But the technology does make HD look even better too. I went to the NX7 and then spent $750 on a professional calibration (the guy was working on it for 12 hours!). Best money ever spent. The improvement after a professional calibration was huge. I literally thought the guy would come in a mess with RGB and contrast and stuff. Nope, he brought suitcases of equipment, video cameras and such. He accessed the backend of the projector since he’s certified and was able to get it perfect.

I was coming from a very very old Sony projector. The improvement was startling.

I'll also note that if for whatever reason you cannot sustain the bandwidth necessary for UHD resolution streaming, you will still get HDR from Netflix if your device and streaming plan supports it. So you could be watching 1080p or even 480p HDR. It's been this way for several years now.

In addition to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ also supports UHD HDR content. It's a little trickier to use HDR with the Amazon Prime Video app in my experience—Netflix and Apple TV+ apps can run in HDR all the time but I seem to have to manually identify when I should be using HDR versus not for Amazon Prime Video.
 
I just had my JVC NX7 projector professionally calibrated. I have had the projector for several months now, but I have to say that there is a big improvement in the picture quality as a result. Blacks are blacker and the picture has a more real life to it. I highly recommend that you explore doing so.

This is the first projector that I have had professionally calibrated. One reason I went that way is that unlike previous projectors, the new projectors have much more ways to be modified when using the proper tools. The firmware in my projector (bought in May) was 2.9. The latest firmware is 3.5. So if your firmware is less than 3.5, consider upgrading it. The newest firmware adds many capabilities that previous firmware does not have. BTW, the new firmware now comes with calibration software that a user with certain hardware can use. Although it may not be as flexible as that used by a professional calibrator, the JVC calibration software should allow the user to improve the picture quality.

Yes. Chad did it and he did a great job. I highly recommend him.
He does a fair amount of traveling and covers Florida as well.

Where did you buy your JVC NX7. I live on the SE coast of Florida and may pull the trigger on this next summer. The installer you mentioned (Chad) - what's his full name?

I bought it from Mike (Yes! Suncoast Audio is a JVC dealer!). The calibrator's name is ChadB (his website: Home).
 
FWIW, calibrating a projector requires special equipment and software. It is a science-based, time-consuming process. Before calibration, "my eyes" were telling me that the image was great. But after seeing the same video (after 5 hours of tweaking, yes, it took nearly 5 hours from start to finish), all that I can say is WOW! Trust me: a $20k power cord or $5K HDMI cable cannot do this.
