It won't be long until these new projectors start finding themselves in our homes so time to start an owners thread!
I've gone for the X700 which I'm hoping will bring a few nice benefits to the already stunning JVC images that I've become accustomed to with my previous X90 projector. This will be JVC number 4 for me having previously owned the HD750 and the X3 before the most recent X90.
I'll reserve a couple of spaces for my unboxing and some screenshots but in the meantime, here's a few bits and bobs about JVC's new offerings.
1st up, this is the new features this year:
Next up - this is the contrast offerings both natively and with the new intelligent aperture (dynamic iris to you and me) The 1.5 million on the X900 sound nice!
The clear black feature might be good, this is a diagram to show what it can do - will be interested to see how it works with real world material:
Next up is the new wire grid - smaller space between pixels is going to increase light output and move from 1200 lumens to 1300 now on these new 3 models. Look how bad and grey the blacks are on last years model - horrendous! Can't remember my X90 looking bad like that so a bit of artistic license used here by JVC or maybe just being a little economical with the truth but hey, its getting better so I suppose thats all that counts!
So with all the talk of 4k, this is a pictorial of how it works. I'm sure we can all discuss this later once its a reality and we have 4k sources at our disposal:
Looks pretty simple when you see it like that.
So talking of 4k and 1080p upscaling, we've a new way of viewing e-shift and that with a new process called auto. I think this is basically localised analysis of content within each frame and applying a particular piece of processing for that part of the frame, rather than a blanket process over the full image. I stand to be corrected on this but thats the gist of it hopefully:
This slide's a bit messy but is tells a little bit about the dynamic contrast but the bit that made me smile was the bit at the bottom - absolute winner!!!
So thats it for now - hopefully we'll have loads to talk about with these new features. The Intelligent aperture/dynamic iris/revolutionary winner thingy is the thing that excites me the most so looking forward to having a play with that.
I'll edit in more stuff into the 1st few posts as it becomes available to try and keep the key info on the 1st page.
And last but not least, here's the manual:
