Just landed Amsterdam ISE... If anyone wonders where the JVC RS620/X9500 unit went missing it will be because I've stolen it

I assume you are very familiar with the previous ( RS400 / 500 / 600 ) models. I'm interested in the differences the new models bring besides gaming / low lag mode. Thanks.

I should have one of these shipping to me shortly (RS620). Once I get one in and installed I'll report back on my findings here on the forum in comparison to last year's models and the new RS4500.

Quick review..
So I went from an rs400 to the rs520... I think the ability to play games along with the speed of the remote control was worth the jump... I also love how it automatically switches to hdr when detected. Picture quality i cant tell much but im sure its better.. For sure its a lot brighter i can see that the minute it turned on. Anyways ill post more i have to run out.. Now i have to sell the rs400 with 280 hours ill post it on the classifieds over the weekend..

Congratulations on the new projector ! Certainly going from an RS400 to an RS520 is a jump in picture improvement. Enjoy, and post some feedback after you've used it a while !

In a good dark room, the picture improvement should be noticeable ! You'll have an easier time hiding those bills from your wife that I will hiding the fact I'm painting more walls black with Roscoe Velour Black paint............

Just a side note...

Back in the day when I had my print subscription to Home Theater and Sound and Vision magazines, I never thought I'd have an actual Editor/Reviewer posting on a thread I'd started on an enthusiast site...!  Ah...feeling a little accomplished...lol

I have my 520 all setup and I am really enjoying it. I also made a pretty big change to my room by moving it into the room behind my HT. I went from a RS500/HW45ES setup to just the RS520.

Excellent ! Out of sight, out of mind ! Just like my theater !

It's amazing how much heat that dumped into my room before. Also the box I made for it has a piece of edmund glass in it and it has reduced 99% of the noise from the projector, I can run it in high lamp and I can't even here the fan. The only thing I can hear in a totally quiet room is when the lens cover opens and closes.

Nice. Wish I could do that. I may eventually build a hush box.

Do you have the Blu Ray's " Cloud Atlas " and " Interstellar " ? I could always see picture noise on parts of those Blu Rays on my RS600, that I no longer see on my RS4500. I'd be curious if it's still there on the RS620.

I have both of those. Any scenes in particular?
