betty boop Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 1 minute ago, poppybob said: Have to agree with Al, it is a big investment so I would suggest more than 3 days research. I think most reviews I have read the Sony has been a go to also, but I think that would be the same if a reviewer was reviewing the SONY. As I see it SDR is very similar but the HDR image, with frame by frame adapt has been rated as the best by any projector to date. Having said that I’m sure SONY won’t sit on their bums too much longer and are as we speak moving along with their own tone mapping tech. Hopefully, we as the consumer, can also benefit from this with hopefully another firmware update?? SDR id take a previous gen jvc like 7900 or 9900 you had PB over the sony...they are THAT good ! this was my main problem going sony ...my previous e-shift JVC though only a 7000 did take quite a bit setting up but was VERY good ! bar set high 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame by frame adapt is a game changer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arny87 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hmm, okay.... I appreciate your opinions and will definitely look into the JVC. I plan on pairing the projector with a Panasonic UB9000 so i think it will really shine, my concern is the brightness especially on a woven screen which im getting... I will just have to find a show room with the JVC in it, Does anyone know of any around the sunshine coast/Brisbane area ? Can drive hours if need be if it means putting my mind at ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightness wouldn’t be an issue with the N7 it’s rated higher than the SONY from memory. I did see the Sony before purchasing the N7 it did struggle at the dealer home cinema room, however in fairness it was a huge screen, 150 inch if I remember, mine is only 120 and I do use an anamorphic lens which squeezes a bit more brightness from the pj. Although I live in Perth Rich from oztheatre has been very helpful sending me info and even samples of his material that he uses, a man with a lot of knowledge in regards to screens. Good luck with your purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arny87 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yea i will be having a 140 inch 16:9 screen So o think the 1.16 gain woven will definitely be welcome over the .9 gaon o was originally looking at. Was able to get a hold of Rich and hes only a couple hour drive from me so will be visiting him in the morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest going anamorphic screen unless you are ok with black bars top and bottom. on 16x9 material I pull curtains which flank my screen sides. food for thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I can’t remember when the last time was that they kept the same model on for another year. The current line up will run for at least 2 years so thru all of 2020. And yes Sept/Oct they may unveil updated models.. Though pretty certain they're concentrating on getting all the bugs out of these ones before they entertain the idea of a brand new model. They did run 2 years with the 5000-9000 series from memory, and it hurt their sales in that 2nd year.. So whilst there must be some pressure to update annually, it's sometimes pointless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roachy Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Have a query. I'm currently running a HD350 through an Aussiemorphic MK4 lens. Looking at upgrading to an N5 or N7 this year. My possible issue is I'm running pretty much at the max for throw ratio to project onto a 145" scope screen, both on zoom and through the lens without vignetting. I'm guessing that the N5/N7 has a larger diameter lens than my HD350. Would you imagine that I may have issues projecting the same size image through the lens? I definitely don't have the throw to be able to ditch the lens and zoom (not that i want to anyway!) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks roach not using a lens so no idea, perhaps @oztheatre can help note there is a calculator here not sure if helps https://www.projectorcentral.com/JVC-DLA-NX5-projection-calculator-pro.htm also jvc version http://pro.jvc.com/pro/lens_calc/HTML/jvc_PRO.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 watched an absolute stunner with Terminator Dark fate, wrote a short review, movies got some lovely scenes. JVC n7 really handles these very well from the night and dark scenes in shadows....something woudl have caught out previous projectors i suspect that were without the N7's dynamic tone mapping. Below scene is a stunner for detail, motion handling ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even watched Solo and that scene in the beginning where his in that room where it’s dark with that creature you can see everything so clear. The Sony laser struggled with that scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
