Sure is quiet over here! Everyone must be enjoying their JVC projectors!;)
What I'd be most interested in hearing from people is what kinds of improvements do they want to see on new models that may come out maybe next year? I doubt we'll see anything new this fall due to COVID but also, no one is forcing JVC's hand to do so.Personally, I'd like to see at least a 10% increase in on/off contrast, more light output and if they plan on keeping eshift on the top model, add in HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort to allow for an 8K video input option. They should also fix the limited chroma resolution when sending a 10/12bit signal.And, as always, I'd like to see ANSI contrast improved, but I doubt that will happen.
Mainly would like to see more light output and more contrast.
I wish the projector had black bar detection like many video processors do. If it did, it could switch aspect ratios automatically. madVR can recall lens memories based off of black bars/aspect ratio. Really handy. It controls my NX9 over IP from my HTPC. It works in conjunction with my media player. It will pause the movie, switch aspect ratios based on which lens memory is assigned to a particular aspect ratio, and then start playing the movie once it gets confirmation that the lens memory has been set. This is one of the main reasons why I opt to use an HTPC. So much customization and functionality.The dynamic iris, at least on the RS3000/NX9, is the best I've seen overall. I use auto 2 mode and with most movies I don't see it working for the entire movie. There are some gamma shifts on occasion, but overall, it's some of the best DI programming I've seen. A few tweaks could help, but I don't think a big improvement is even possible.A more powerful FPGA could improve DTM and I'm willing to bet JVC is already working on improvements.I need to do some research to get my MadVR to work that way. Seems amazing to have.
