UPDATED: Thanks to another major firmware release, we have revised our review of the JVC DLA-N7B, the mid-range model in the company's N Series of 4K HDR D-ILA projectors.
JVC has announced the new Home Theatre Optimiser, which is part of the next generation Frame Adapt HDR feature on its D-ILA home projectors, and which will be available through a free firmware upgrade.
It might be the entry-level native 4K projector from JVC but the DLA-N5 is also one of the best HDR projectors we have seen at the price point. Should you go for the more expensive N7 or does the N5 offer everything you need? Read the full review.
The NX9 is a 4K native and 8K e-shift projector featuring new 0.69-inch native 4K D-ILA device. It has a 100mm diameter, 18 element, all-glass lens and supports HDR10 using Auto Tone Mapping and Frame Adapt. UPDATED to add video review.
Why does the cost of native 4K projectors remain high?
by Andy Bassett
Member jeddati would like to move from DLP/pixel shifting 4K to a native 4K projector but wonders why prices have not come down in this sector yet. Can anyone offer some insight as to why costs remain prohibitively high?
We report back from IFA 2019 where, aside from Philips, the big manufacturers concentrated on features and tech, leaving room for some of the smaller names to announce new models.
JVC adds to its LX range of projectors with the LX-NZ3 which uses a laser light source and is aimed at a more family-friendly environment with ease of use features.
We report back from this year's IFA show in Berlin. There were new 4K Native projectors from JVC and Sony, new OLED TVs from Philips and Sony, and new TV manufacturers like TCL. All that and more in our bumper video report.

What's the best way to install a home cinema projector?
by AVForums
It's sometimes difficult to truly get the idea of how large some of the home cinema projectors on the market really are and it can be a bit of a shock when you actually get them in-house. So just how do you go about attaching them to your ceiling for optimal positioning and security?
JVC have launched their latest HDR compatible e-shift5 4K projectors in the UK and here we have the mid-range X7900 model which promises improved HDR performance and brighter colour profiles over the previous models. But does it still offer value for money?
Sometimes circumstances dictate that you are forced to make purchases from a particular store, especially with regards to insurance claims so where is the best place to get a projector in a bricks and mortar shop?
JVC's new DLA-X5900 D-ILA projector is very similar to previous generations but small improvements here and there make sure that at its price point it remains hard to beat.
Would you regret abandoning a projector set up for a large TV?
by AVForums
As TVs get bigger and start to show a clear advantage with HDR content would it be all that bad to get rid of your projector and live a simpler life? Let us know what you think.
What projector has the largest image from an 'average' throw distance?
by AVForums
A very important consideration when researching a home cinema projector is what size of image you will get from the distance you place the projector away from the screen as the specs can be confusing. One forum member wants to know what's the largest possible image achievable from a throw distance of 2.5m with the current crop of projectors. Join the discussion
This year's IFA saw more OLED TVs from Philips, Panasonic, Sony, B&O and Toshiba, along with QLED models from Philips, Hisense and Sharp, as well as new projectors from Sony, JVC and Optoma.

Updated 17th July. The Z1 not only marks JVC's first native 4K projector but also includes a laser light source that promises a better HDR performance. However what is the cost in terms of both price and performance?
There has never been a better time to buy a projector with some models offering unbeatable value and others that include the very latest display technologies.
Updated to cover UK launch event and video interview.
We get our first chance to see JVC's new native 4K laser projector in action and the results are suitably impressive.
It's been two years since we last had a mid-range JVC to review and with the promise of improved brightness, HDR support and wider colour gamuts, does the lack of native 4K matter?
First Look & Unboxing the JVC DLA-X7000B Projector
by Phil Hinton
We have the JVC DLA-X7000B D-ILA projector in for review and as it's a fully new retail production unit, we unbox it to see what's included. We also have a quick look at the actual projector and the connections.
JVC are back with their DLA-X5000 entry level projector but is it just more of the same or does it have enough new features to justify the two-year wait?
JVC launch their latest mid-range projector but even with eshift3, can it still remain relevant in competition with increasingly cheaper native 4K projectors?
