JVC DLA-RS1000/N5 & RS2000/NX7 Owners Thread

[AVSCraig]

Seems we have DCR owners represented right here, and would be interesting to see if its realy worth the extra money on top of a JVC RS2000 or the money is better spend on a brighter projector.
Also what kind of screen size do you need before you have to compromise your 1:1 pixel mapping, and add scaling noise to gain more lightoutput. We just need some objective data instead of the subjective opinions.

Nobody here with calibration qualifications and a DCR lens on a JVC RS1000/RS2000?

And what do you guys then do when running a 16:9 movie, or any of the other like 1.85:1 formats ? Do you remove the lens or also scaling those and keep the vertical screen size.?

I remove the lens myself for 16:9. 

I've posted a ton of photos, but getting good screenshots is difficult.

Wow, I think my run/walk today took more out of me than I thought. Heat index was 105 when I finished. I can't believe I spelled his name wrong, since he and I have been good friends for several years.

It happens...I've known Kris since 2002...been to his house too  He has an outstanding theater room too...best sounding room I've ever been in.

I pointed you in the direction where you can get the answers you were asking. I do not know of anyone else that has a DCR lens and accurate enough meters to give you the answers you asked. You have stated your opinion on Craig's posts. Continued posting along those lines is not going to be productive to the thread, that is why I asked you to stop. 

I do not recall where I read it, but I can tell you Kris did post that he could not see a loss in sharpness with the lens in place, when watching content. That does not mean Kris could not tell a difference when viewing test patterns.

I had a visit from Chris Deutsch yesterday. He brought an RS1000 to demo. Just out of the box settings in the projector with a Panasonic UB9000, and the projector doing the HDR tone mapping. Looked outstanding on my Stewart Cima Neve screen. Great 4K projector for the money ! Had to set it up on a temporary stand, but everything worked out.

Contrast looked pretty good. There were slightly elevated corners, but they weren't apparent most of the time.

The picture looked as clean and sharp as the one I saw at Cedia last fall.

Looks great Craig. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it.

Yeah i expect the more expensive model to be better honestly. That makes sense and it is rated double the contrast. But the way he said it was a HUGE difference made me question myself. 2000 dollars is a lot to me but listening to him makes me feel like I should’ve spent it anyway. This is all new to me so I’m doing the best to learn a lot in a short time building my theater. So far I’ve got the speakers, projector screen and the room is almost finished. Just a million more pieces to the puzzle before I can pop in my first uhd disc and actually enjoy the fruits of all this labor!

Yeah! I can recollect those feelings when I was building my theater. It's like a child you're raising!

Hey Dave

I'm going to be at Craig's on Thursday for a calibration if you want to swing by. Not going out toward your neck of the woods or I'd stop by, only in Sacramento for the night then I head down to San Jose for two nights then back home.

 Sadly, I won't be able to make it. We are in the middle of a bathroom remodel and the tile guy is supposed to be here on Thursday and I'm not sure what time he'll be finished working. Which way are you driving to San Jose? Highway 80 to 680 or are you going through Stockton/Tracy? If you go 80/680, you'll drive right by my house

Since the JVC's are carrying through this year, we will have special CEDIA pricing. Call us for details.

Since JVC is carrying through the RS1000, 2000, 3000 and 4500, I expect us to see more improvements to this line in the way of firmware.   These projectors are really good right now, so any improvements added just makes them better. This is great for all the current owners as well as future owners.

[AVSMike]

Looks like more B-stock may be becoming available. Contact us for details and pricing.

These are excellent units. Anyone currently in the market with a dedicated space should definitely have these units high on their list.
