JVC RS4500 (native 4K laser projector)

[NBPk402]

Just sold my RS600.

Now what will you do while you are waiting for your new projector...or do you also have multiple projectors like Craig does?

[AVSMike]

I have RS45 in family room set up and in storage I have RS20, Marantz VP12S4 and Planar PD7130. I will either just use family room set up with RS45 or move RS45 to dedicated room and move RS20 to family room.

Wow, Mike...are you getting the RS4500

I am leaning that way, but not 100% yet.

Chief now has the custom mount available to ship.

[AVSMike]

Ordered a chief mount for a reviewer that said he will be getting one of these shortly after CES.

Must be one of the first production units, eh ?

I think so.

Sound and Vision has an article on the RS4500.

The only big news there is that the RS4500 is now THX certified !

[AVSMike]

Yep, that was one of the things that was delaying the shipping, getting everything worked out so that it was THX certified.

I should be getting hold of one of these shortly after CES. I'm actually on a tight timeline to get the review done as they want it for the May projector issue of Sound and Vision. Here's hoping this thing lives up to the hype!!!

I'm looking forward to your review. I've sure been enjoying watching stuff on my RS600 lately - both 4K BR and 1080p BR. I'd be interested in a comparison ( even off the record in a PM ).

I received an email from JVC with an invite to their off-site suite at CES where they say they with be demo'ing the RS4500, calling it the first THX certified native 4K projector.  I expect this to be a production unit (or at least one that has all of the functions actually working, which was not the case at CEDIA back in Sept.).  Unfortunately I won't be at CES, but perhaps Art (Projector Review) will be able to check it out

There is a slight chance I might go after all, despite my getting sick last year at CES - for a month afterwards. I swore I wouldn't go this year. But with the RS4500 calling.............
