Thanks Craig - good to see but a moot point for me now.

Hopefully I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch but thanks to y'all and the JVC B stock I am stepping up in class! I was planning to start asking for a comparison between the LS12000, Sony VPL-XW5000ES, and the JVC RS1100 or RS2000, but the RS2100 deal completely sealed that.

[Edit: corrected typo in the Sony model # for the one near the price of the others.]

I'd say you are good. Besides, by the time anyone can get an XW6000, and the rest of those projectors for a shootout, it will probably be September!

I have the 11000…Let’s just say coming from an NX-9 I’ll be flipping out the 11000…12000 might be “acceptable”…

I will say the 4 way pixel shift is VERY good…just a wee bit less sharp than my NX7…Pretty darn good tho…Also, I can’t hear the fan on 100% laser when watching a movie…Bright scenes look great but wouldn’t dare to watch Sci Fi on it…However it will serve many well, given the price point…

Thanks for your take on this. Pretty much what I would expect.

Well my friend, had to try it…Lack of contrast takes me right out of the movie…Have not seen a 12000 yet…Also no DTM, so folks who “think” they have a great HDR image have not seen and cannot appreciate the difference DTM makes…What they have is a bright punchy image regardless of how inaccurate it is…But hey less than $4kUS for a laser based 2500 lumen home cinema projector, not bad, but FAR from a JVC in regards to performance!
