  • Faux 4K?

    • +1

      Doesn't actually have 4k resolution, but mimics it through the eshift feature.

    • ‘Fake 4K’ - It is not native 4K.

    • You seem to be ignoring that 4K is a meaningless marketing word so saying it's faux is redundant.

    • Alternative 4K?

  • Strong performer. I'm lucky I don't need one for a bit and the market of 4k projectors will mature by then.

  • It's also this price at RIO

  • why would you buy it at this price? Only if you have a huge dedicated cinema room where 75" OLED is not enough?

    • What's the maximum size on this thing? 120 inches? I can see it's usefulness if it can do larger

      4 x 75" 4 K HDR is about 6-8k

      • Don't projectors normally go to 300" ?

        • Dunno that's why I asked I have heard people use it for 100-120 inch screens but I have no idea what is the upper limit

        • @AlienC:

          The basic issue is as you double the diagonal, you quadruple the area, and thus cut the brightness by 4x. To make it brighter you have to have a brighter bulb, but that produces more heat, more cooling, etc.

          120"/3m is usually enough for domestic use at reasonable brightness and cost.

          And you can get that at 1080p for US$600, or 4K for US$1500.

          Whereas a 75" LED is going to be $3-6000. Which means you can get a cheap 55" LED AND a 4K/120" projector for less money overall.

        • I have a 4K 3d projector in the lounge 8m x 5.5 lounge to watch the news it’s set at 120” but can go up to 300” and o get 8000 hours out of a globe and my genuine globe god $85 when I’d eventually need one oh and for under $2000

        • @sane: so what's special about this one for 6800 aud.. HDR10?

  • Cost of shipping kills it for me.

  • Reviews very well @ AVForums https://www.avforums.com/review/jvc-dla-x7900-d-ila-projecto…

    Cut and paste of the standout points in the review:

    "It provides the most cinematic image on the market that looks stunningly realistic, accurate and with incredible depth and dynamic range. It excels in a dedicated cinema room with bat cave levels of light control and dark surfaces where it can truly show off its capabilities."

    "This is a superb performer and is also excellent value for money when compared to the competition and it comes highly recommended."

    Not bad, not bad at all.

  • Similar projector - possibly the same projector under another model name

    Conclusion
    At $3,999, the JVC DLA-RS440U is impressive for the price and worth every penny. It can accept up to 4K 60p 10-bit (4:4:4) input and translate it to a level of detail on screen that's virtually indistinguishable from native 4K resolution. For HDR it supports both HDR10 and Hybrid Log-Gamma. And most important, it layers these leading edge features over a solid foundation of basics.

    The RS440U delivers dark black, high contrast ratio, and saturated color. The combination adds three dimensionality to 2D images and is at least arguably more important for producing a compelling image than the boost to nearly 4K resolution. As an incidental extra, it also offers Full 3D. And at 1,800 lumens it is bright enough to give you a 185" 16:9 image in a dark room.

    The combination of powered zoom, lens shift, and focus paired with five Lens Memory settings is another key strength, The automated lens positioning allows the convenience of a CIH installation without needing an anamorphic lens.

    There are only a few projectors in this price range and below that offer both powered Lens Memory and 4K HDR support. All use e-shift or the equivalent. Of those few, there are only four—all from JVC—that can accept HDR signals at up to 4K 60p 10-bit (4:4:4). Only two of those—the JVC DLA-RS440U and the JVC DLA-X590R offer JVC's latest generation e-shift 5 with its improved image quality over previous versions, and according to JVC, both models are the identical projector sold through different channels. The JVC DLA-RS440U, in short, is an essentially unique, standout choice.
