It will come, but may just take more time...all sounds very sensible Ricky - i guess we are all looking for something 4k native with a laser light source with NZ7 performance at half the price - we can but dream

i can wait Ricky - i still have the new bulb you supplied to fit in my N5 so i guess my need for a new PJ is not urgent - yet!It will come, but may just take more time...
Uh oh the JVC black floor has been toppled! The JVC looked flat out boring. You can call it filmic and squint all you like, I'll take the Sony's detail and lack of colour crush thanks!
It does look like RC is on though.
Damn 5000 Vs 12000b now!
i also wondered about the comparison as the JVC NZ7 looked awful - my N5 with 2150 on its first bulb looks miles betterI would not read too much into this. Both the Sony and JVC have good calibrated gradation. JVC was better on previous generations. You can tell these have not been set up properly due to the colour differences. At SDR they should be fairly close.
As for the black. All the measured contrast figures floating around do not support the Sony being darker on blacks, so I wonder if there is dynamic lasers running differently etc.
Time will tell, but do not read too much into it yet.
Yes, I see your point however a laser engine won't make up for cheap optics and hand adjusted zoom. When you look at options from the competition its hard to justify getting one of these logically. Need to wait for more reviews and owner experiences though. Contrast will be a big deciding factor form some.: ) : ) I know what you meant and SONY's marketing department always did the same. But probably theirs new lasers give us a very good picture quality.
590ES & 790ES users are very happy with PQ and we can expect PQ improvements in the new lasers.
Now you can access to an bulb based 590ES for 6999€. New scenario bring us the chance to access a better PQ than 590ES for 1000€ less and laser source.
Yes and no. I personally know heaps of folks who have the money and do fork out for these not knowing anything at all about the "backend" but they want to be able to brag about their setup, then when they come over and see my cave they all call me for a calibration and setupÂŁ6k and ÂŁ15k is enthusiast-only money IMO. Easy to lose sight of that when we've all been into this sort of gear for half a lifetime. But Joe Bloggs isn't going to dump ÂŁ15k on a projector, or even ÂŁ6k.
That is an interesting expectation. Not saying you are wrong, but there is quite a bit of change in the main parts of the projector (lens and SXRD chips), missing iris (unconfirmed at the moment), that may mean whilst brightness is up, other things could suffer. Only time will tell.
Dolby Vision is not going to happen any time soon, but this is a limitation of Dolby, as they have not produced standards or specifications for home projectors, so no projector can be certified for it at this point. If 3D is important, I would not wait to long, we are already seeing it being dropped from some new projectors, and I expect it will be dropped from more new models in the future. It is a dying format unfortunately.
Hopefully it is resolved now. The chip is much better with around 3x the processing power of the previous generation, so they should have the power to do it now.
I had a quick look, and did wonder if some of the perceived increase in sharpness is actually reality creation. On a bigger screen this may look to digital/artificial.
I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but trying to keep things realistic, as there is too much hype around products at the moment, these Sony's were one, the Epson Lasers before, and only creates unrealistic expectations. We are certainly looking forward to getting a Sony in for demo/testing in the next few months.

The black level comparison is interesting and shocking but again, probably a setup feature issue because JVC's can come overbrightened out of the box.
Why is there no mention of the middle model here, the XW6000ES, which I hear from Sony is the step up model from the XW5000ES but with the much needed (for me anyway) motorized zoom/shift lens system.
the XW6000ES appears to be a US exclusive model. shame as i think it would sell quite well in the UK/EU market.
If you get a trash unit I don't think it's impossible to have the contrast smaller than a Sony.
Never heard of a measurement of a jvc being as low as a Sony

For example JVC DLA-X5000: Review of the projector! - ProjectionDream.com on/off just under 12000:1
They claim the Sony 520 they had was better for contrast Review Projector Sony VPL-VW520ES - Projectiondream.com with 15000:1
So it's the same room, same guys, same tools, same method, it's not like we are looking at something different.
I am not a detective to search for evidences
Unfortunately those guys closed the shop long ago. It's a pity.
Well you did a fair bit of digging to go to a review site from 2016.
I think you mean lens memory. The zoom/shift/focus itself is highly accurate on all models (and I've had 'em all pretty much). But yes, some models have struggled with accurate lens memory.Although from what I hear from current Sony owners, the motorized zoom/shift on current PJs is not accurate enough to be usable anyway - hear JVC is much better in this regard.

10:42 again blacker floor than JVC.
