Quark Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 SOLD Item: JVC X500 Projector Location: Outer SE Melb Price: $1700 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Upgraded Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal Extra Info: Still on first lamp, with under 2200 hours at present - always run in Eco mode. Includes Monoprice Blackbird HDCP convertor, so it will display a 4K signal using E-shift faux 4K. Also includes Datacolor Spyder 4 Elite so you can use JVC's Autocal software to do your own calibration (last done ~250 hours ago). Includes JVC 3D emitter and one pair of genuine JVC 3D glasses - both never used. All original packaging and remote. Still puts out a wonderful picture - my photographic skills don't do it justice. Courier is possible at buyers cost (and insurance) but preference initially given to local buyers. I'll keep it set up for a few more days to aid a demo, but then the new N5 will be installed. Note this has always been operated in a smoke free and air-conditioned environment. Will also be offering an Aussiemorphic Mk4 Lens and Cineslide in a separate ad shortly. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j19801110 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is a great projector! In fact, I think it’s the best in the 5series full stop. In fact, it was very close in performance to the x700 if you read reviews! It has the highest contrast of any of the 5xxx models, and it was really downhill after this point for the 5 series. Brightness increased with the x5000 but with a large drop in contrast - both on/off and ANSI. The x5000 and later were also budget models with not so great optics, etc. if you are interested, message the seller and you may be able to work out a deal! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillmaverick Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is a great projector. I had the same model and It does throw an amazing photo. Bargain at the asking price considering 3D glasses and included spider camera. GLWTS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Brett Hi Brett, after using the part pixel adjust for some less than a full pixel misconvergence, it looks absolutely perfect. The new N5 was a whole pixel horizontally out on the red pixels (albeit they are a smaller pixel). Given no-one has pounced on this yet I'm definitely open to shipping interstate. For any locals wanting to inspect, I've taken it down and put the N5 up, but can still set up a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbot82 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Super out of it but will this do lens memory/2.35:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using an anamorphic lens, so the lens motors have had little use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbot82 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 So why did you have a specific lens for the same purpose? Sorry if that is a simple question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if that is a simple question It was a leftover from the days when I had a BenQ W6000 with manual lens only. Thought I may as well use the A-lens with the X500, but now I'll be putting up an ad for it and the slide to help offset the cost of the N5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
