FYI: Just called a local audio / video specialty dealer who told me that a recent Sony WX 6000es projector, while it functions well, is quite noisy. So noisy, the dealer will need to build a custom baffle box for it. The owner is quite disappointed but will keep the projector. In Canada, now that Sony has done away with its “regional reps”, there is virtually no service from Sony whatsoever even for the purchasers who now have to call Sony themselves! The exact opposite is the current case in Canada for JVC who respond immediately to any issues regarding their projectors.

@@robertpiil4032 All the best with your JVC purchase. A bit too big for my bookshelf application, but I will visit our local dealer in January and properly scope things out. If Sony would just issue a firmware update, all would be good. An X5000 is $7500 ($6000USD) right now which would easily meet my needs. Oh well, I am resigned to see what Sony announces at 2023 CES in Las VEGAS in early January, if anything. Thanks for the note! All the best. I think you will be quite pleased given everything I have seen on-line in realtime from two major shootouts in the U.S, that were narrowcast. Seems JVC with its 2.0 firmware update really dialled-in its tone-mapping algorithm quite nicely!

UST projectors are designed to perform very well in multi purpose room with ambient light. We demonstrate them in our very bright showroom with very excellent picture quality. 3D also looks stunning on the large screen as does all sports and all streaming and Blu-ray discs. Prices for premium UST projectors is very reasonable and you can enjoy 80" - 150" screen sizes. If you are in the NY area please stop by to see our UST projection systems or call us to discuss the best UST for your application and room.

In Europe (or at least in Denmark) the Sony 7000es is cheaper than the JVC NZ8. By about 1500 usd. Have been looking for a comparison between these two models, but every body is comparing the 7000es with the NZ9, which in European prices, is ridiculous. I'm leaning towards the JVC. Dark scenes are more prevalent in my movie taste.

Whomever told you to turn Dynamic HDR Enhancer to High? You can go ahead and forever disregard their advice. The High setting introduces insane amounts of noise and imparts an artificiality to the image. Even middle can be rough with some content (but is ok with much content). The Low setting is a nice way to add a little punch without any subjective negative impact.

The reason Formovie didn't enter the competition is because they are actually going to count brightness as a Parameter. The other shootout was setup by the only distributor of Formovie in the country and if he actually had the Judges count brightness, hence LASER TV, he couldn't go around claiming his projector won the showdown.

Shane and ROBERT: I have been eagerly awaiting this shootout and hope to be able to attend in real time. If I have a question (if per chance I can’t attend in real time) it would be this, which I have made Phil Jones aware of, assuming he saw my comment in Projector Reviews on the same topic: “As a result of the MWAVE shootout last spring, it was determined by a Sony projector team engineer , who was providing commentary during the shootout, that the Sony 5000, 6000, 7000 were in need of a Base-black tone-mapping firmware update. He said: Base-black is not something the end-user can repair through various settings. It has to be done with a firmware update.” So after the MWAVE shootout, did Sony Corp. acknowledge this deficiency and if they did, what is going to be done about it? Ready to buy, BUT I am sitting on my cash until I get a proper answer: Not going to buy an expensive Sony laser projector that has been declared “with deficient black-tone-mapping vs JVC” - right out of the box!!!!

Sony provides a better use case for my media room application, but if Sony is to continue to be so arrogant - I will find a solution to make a JVC projector - work instead, if I am forced to - which seems to be where this is leading me.

Well, how much more money have you got? The anty starts at about $2000 more for the JVC NP5 (lamp based) vs the Sony 5000es. The difference is that JVC has already issued a firmware update to correct its projector deficiencies whereas Sony is currently resting on its laurels. If Sony has any engineering pride of production at all, they should fix and issue the firmware update for all their laser projectors . . . and all will be good! Base black is the issue . . . everything else I saw in the MWAVE shootout was fine overall for the Sony.
