Just like I thought… incremental improvements. Nothing to really excite current NZ8/NZ9 or RS clone owners. Sure the contrast and brightness are a little better but in practice the contrast never gets close to those numbers on the screen. Nice they made some improvements but if you’re in the market and the NZ8/NZ9 are still available at discounts that’s the route I would recommend for most.

@adamjj85 3 ай бұрын

I wonder what the business reason is to release a new model with only minor incremental improvements. Why not just continue selling the NZ8 and NZ9? Also, nothing new under $10k will leave these as high budget niche choices. A Dolby Vision announcement would've moved the needle forward for sure.

Looks promising. I will upgrade my NZ9 to the new NZ900. Improved uniformity sounds great, I guess that refers to bright corners. 50% increase in native CR is massive, calibrated a lot less I suspect, but nontheless hopefully better than the NZ9. Quality control is the major uncertainty when ordering JVC projectors. I am running a pretty large 192" wide screen so 10% more light at better contrast levels would be welcome!

@MyFatherLoves 3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, they both still employ that cinema filter that pushes color to 99% P3 color gamut at the cost of a 25% brightness reduction (1600 ANSI for the NZ800 and 1700 ANSI for the NZ900). At the same cost of the NZ800, I think I'd prefer to get the Epson LS12000 (1900 ANSI lumens calibrated) with a MadVR Envy Pro. I know the glass is probably higher quality in the JVCs but Projector Central reviewed the entire image to be sharp. I also know you can't game through the MadVR due to the latency loss. So, that's also a con. There's so many variables to consider. Heck, I bet if we gave a couple years, we'll have 115" to 120" options for the miniLED tvs coming out now that are close to affordable. But you could say that about any piece of tech.... you'll be waiting forever, haha Still, the NZ800 and 900 look to be VERY high quality projectors that would never be a bad choice.

I agree with the guy above. 20,000 hours is definitely not long enough to expect to get out of a projector at this price point. Especially if you consider that's at half brightness. A lot of people like to run them much brighter, (or full brightness) which means you'll probably have to halve that to a 10,000 hour life span for many people.
