i'm currently running a TW9400 on my diy screen which has a custom screen size that results in a 154" diagonal size. this is in my dedicated room which has some treatment (black velvet on all four sides to about 1.5m from screen). my main sources are just movies (SDR blu-rays and 4k HDR UHD) and some streamed tv shows. no sports or gaming at all. i do have a decent 3D collection but tbh i've not watched 3d for a while and may consider losing that if it gives me a better 2d picture.
the epson has been good for my purposes. i run on medium lamp mode and it gives a bright and clean image especially in 4k hdr, so much so i still have plenty of wow moments. although i'm now wondering if i should give jvc a try to see the improved black/contrast that people talk about. my main concern with jvc is that they won't be bright enough for my screen size. the new epson ls12000 is also another possible upgrade path although i'm not sure if it's a decent jump from the tw9400.
so at the moment i am currently considering the X7900/9900 or N5/N7 range. NZ7 seems to tick all the boxes but don't think i can stretch that far at Uk retail price. watching some YT shootout videos between epson and JVCs and they all say the jvc produces a better image albeit less bright than the epson. so i do have concerns this will be even more evident on my largish screen size.
so i'm just trying to gauge those who have a similar screen size to mine with JVCs and do you ever find it's not bright enough? and if not, which model do you have and lamp mode do you use?
