I can only imagine a n3 in the future ... though not sure if it will be 2019 True, but... amongst the native 4K consumer projectors on the market the N5 competes relatively well (on paper) with the Sony VPL-VW570ES which is likely to be around $15-16K rrp (although Sony may realise the competition is steep this year and cut back pricing to around $12K). The VPL-VW270ES is completely trounced by the N5 imo. And I like to think that the N5 will retail at, after dealer discounts, around $7-8K. Time will tell. I still think the N7, although not cheap, will be the sweet spot amongst the new native 4K JVC projectors... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the big differences between the N5 and the N7 contrast, very slight lumen increase and the filter? I wonder if people will want the filter considering the light loss? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The N5 may very well be, especially at a discounted rrp (although I still think $9.5K rrp is too high), but with the dual irises and the DCI-P3 filter (especially if you have a small screen and can afford to lose the lumens) I think the N7 may have the edge. The reviews will tell. I've ordered an N7 anyway, and won't change (yeah, call me biased ) Edited October 17, 2018 by Davo1972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVC Z1 is AU $49k in the USA and Sony 760ES is AU$35k over there. And that is before state sales taxes are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NX9 is being overpriced here. Same goes for the N5 locally. The only one currently *near* the ballpark is the NX7 here at $11,999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love competition. I wonder what the discounting will be like for the VPL-VW550ES and N7... A quick check of retail prices for the VPL-VW570ES in Europe and the UK reveal it's priced a little lower than the N7, so around $10-11K RRP for it in Australia doesn't seem out of the realms of possibility. How dark would you be if you paid full RRP for a VPL-VW550ES (around $15-16K) 12-18 months ago! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javs Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hand picked parts?The new model lens is now made at a different factory and QC is far tighter, so... Not really the case mate. You think of the new lenses as all being hand picked essentially since each one should outperform the old models. Also I had two very bad sample 9900's in a row , both lenses horribly inferior to my 9500, so the hand picked thing is thrown out the window as far as I am concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javs Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Fair call. I hope the QC is good on the lens elements in the N5/7.I will honestly be quite happy if the lens is at least as good as my 9500 sample, even better if every single customer gets a lens like that. The thing I keep hearing is these new models are sharp all over the screen not just in the middle. That's what we all need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Diamond Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Oddly enough, if talking about the Optoma UHD65, dare I say I actually quite liked it for its pricepoint and what I witnessed when I saw it instore at a local West Coast Hifi. Didn't have lense memory or anything but picture wise I actually thought it was better than the Epson 9300. It was ages ago now so can't explain it, but I remember leaving the store at the time thinking hmmm... Optoma hey? Anyway, in keeping with the "2019" aspect of this thread, it really does seem like the N7 is the only "decently" priced one (IMO of course). I wish JVC all the success with it!
