Dale7688 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi all, I am looking at setting up my first home theater. I would like a great quality projector that can be used for many years and be happy with it. After doing a lot of reading and researching I have found that the JVC projectors to be very popular for home theater enthusiast. I can not afford the new JVC N series so would need to look at getting a 2nd hand projector. I have an opportunity to get a JVC X5500 projector for $1,800. Is this a good buy as I do not normally purchase 2nd hand equipment. It has around 750 hrs used on the lamp and is the original/first lamp. The projector itself is in good condition. Should i go ahead and jump on this projector or should I wait and try and find a x7900 or x9900? Is there any other projectors that you recommend? Max I would not be looking to spend is up to the 4K mark. Thanks in advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 That's good buying at $1800. An X7900 or X9900 would have improvements in contrast and slightly higher lumens, but you would expect to pay more than twice as much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oztheatre Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 That 5 series I thought had a better lens too. And they messed around with the e-shift on the 9 series. Javs would tell you the same, he's still got his 9500 and wont part with it. I miss my x7500 was a spectacular projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
