Thanks: Gave 16, Got 11 | JVC DLA-HD1 – HCC Official Review
I have just received my Home Cinema Choice: Issue 140in the post this morning.
As I have a subscription it normally arrives up to 10 days before it hits the shelves so I though I would share the findings of the JVC DLA-HD1 review with you all.
I'm not sure of the legalities of posting the exact review (copyright and all that). So I will have to keep my comments to a general synopsis unless the forum moderator can confirm that I am allowed to make exact quotes from the test or post a pdf of the actual pages.
The gentleman reviewing the JVC has absolutely no negative comments about the projector, he is completely blown away by it's performance and has never seen such deep blacks on any projector, let alone something at this price point.
He goes on to say that it makes the very impressive Sony Pearl look 'inadequate' and even trumps the Ruby for performance.
He finishes the lengthy review by warning LCD and DLP projector manufacturers, basically telling them that they should be shaking in their boots.
FINAL SCORE:
Brightness: 4.5 stars
Clarity: 5 stars
Features: 5 stars
Overall: 5 stars
Awards: HCC BEST BUY GUARANTEE
I didn't have any doubts about this wonderous machine even before this review, now it's officially in the press as the best money can buy in this price range and way beyond. I hope the other reviews follow suit.

It looks like the JVC will drive the market for awhile until somebody else releases something better for cheaper.

Sounds fantastic and from the shots on UrbanT's thread it looks fantastic aswell, i just need to tell her indoors that we can't have a holiday this year as i need £4k for one of these.
How will that go down do you think? |

I highly doubt you can scan it as pdf and upload it as that would be a breach of copyright and as AVForums got the scoop on this unit it wouldnt take long for somebody to come charging in with a complaint.
But you may be able to post some text snipits

HCC put the reviews on-line for free anyway. I think provided you credit them with the review you should be OK.

The deep blacks sound great. I wonder how long it will be before the price drops for this technology to more consumer friendly levels.
If they could release a 720p no frills version for around the £1000 they would clear up.
