I am building a custom home with a dedicated theater room. The room is 17' 8" x 15' 8". I have full light control. The projector will be located just outside the room on a shelf. My throw distance is therefore about 17' 8". I am targeting a 16:9 screen with 160" to 169" diagonal (the screen will be either a Stewart Film or Screen Innovations with 1.3 gain). I have narrowed down my choice of projector between the Wolf Cinema TXF-1100 or the JVC RS2000.
Given the JVC is native 4k and has integrated tone mapping, that would be my preference. However, I am worried that the 1900 lumens of the JVC might not be sufficient for my room.
On the other hand, the Wolf is using laser light with 3000 lumens (great benefit obviously) but is not native 4k. I was told that despite not being native 4k, the Wolf would provide a much better image for it higher lumens on one side, but most importantly because of the better quality of its video/image processing.
If anyone has had the possibility to compare these 2 projectors, I would appreciate some advice to make my final choice.
I have a couple other questions:
1) Is there really benefit investing in a video scaler/processor such as Lumagen Radiance Pro for the JVC RS2000, or Wolf's own ProScaler MK7 for their TXF-1100 projector?
2) Can the video scaler replace an anamorphic lens for viewing cinemascope movies without losing pixels?
Thanks for any input you can provide.
