JVC is doubling down on its commitment to cutting-edge projection technology by launching two new D-ILA laser projectors that boast impressive enhancements in contrast and dynamic range. The DLA-NZ900/DLA-RS4200 and DLA-NZ800/DLA-RS3200 projectors are set to hit the market in June, with price points at $26,000 and $16,000 respectively. These models represent a significant leap forward for JVC, with improvements in both image quality and performance over previous offerings.
One of the standout features of these new projectors is the revamped Blu-Escent laser light engine, which delivers enhanced brightness and performance. The Blu-Escent laser engine has been optimized to achieve 3,300 lumens of brightness for the DLA-NZ900/DLA-RS4200 and 2,700 lumens for the DLA-NZ800/DLA-RS3200. These projectors also boast an extended life expectancy of 20,000 hours, thanks to a blue-laser diode light source.
A major highlight of the new projectors is the introduction of a third-generation 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device. This cutting-edge technology not only produces sharper images but also elevates the native contrast ratio to 150,000:1 for the DLA-NZ900/DLA-RS4200 and 100,000:1 for the DLA-NZ800/DLA-RS3200. These improvements are further enhanced by advancements in liquid crystal alignment and image pixel flatness, resulting in superior screen uniformity.
JVC has implemented a range of technical enhancements to elevate the viewing experience. The projectors feature dynamic light source control, enabling precise adjustment of laser output based on scene brightness. This dynamic control, combined with a higher native contrast ratio, delivers images that are more in line with human perception. The projectors also offer a dynamic contrast level of ∞:1, ensuring optimal image quality in dark scenes.
Furthermore, the new projectors support full 48Gbps 8K60p signals and are equipped with advanced LSIs for seamless processing. JVC’s second-generation 8K/e-shiftX technology enhances their ability to reproduce 8K display resolution effectively. These advancements, coupled with the ability to input 4K120p signals with low-latency mode, make the projectors ideal for high frame-rate gaming and immersive viewing experiences.
Beyond technical prowess, the new JVC projectors come loaded with features to enhance the viewing experience. They support various high dynamic range formats, including HLG, HDR10, and HDR10+. The inclusion of Filmmaker Mode ensures that viewers can enjoy content as intended by filmmakers, with optimized picture quality settings. Additionally, the projectors utilize cinema filters and JVC’s Clear Motion Drive technology for smooth motion reproduction.
In terms of build quality, both models feature all-glass lenses. The flagship DLA-NZ900/DLA-RS4200 sports an 18-element, 16-group 100-mm lens, while the DLA-NZ800/DLA-RS3200 boasts a 17-element, 15-group 65-mm lens. These lenses are designed for precise image projection, ensuring high-resolution visuals with minimal distortion across the screen.
Despite the trend towards larger TV screens, JVC’s new projectors offer a competitive advantage with their ability to project images up to 300 inches in size. As the home entertainment landscape evolves, JVC sees immense potential for 8K technology, especially with the rise of 8K content streaming services and gaming developments.
For those seeking premium projection technology and cutting-edge visual performance, the DLA-NZ900/DLA-RS4200 and DLA-NZ800/DLA-RS3200 projectors offer a compelling blend of innovation, quality, and features.
