Home Theater Upgrade - JVC DLA-NX7 / RS2000

[@shaolin95]

JVC projectors with the insane real contrast and black levels are above the competition without a doubt.

[@davidrivera2165]

Mike, you have officially become the go to Reference level Home Theater KZbin channel. The combination of 150' Cinescope, full Dolby Atmos, monster subs, and now a Reference quality level Native 4k projector. First thing you need to do is download 3.10 firmware update for HDR scene by scene metadata tone mapping. To all those who got all giddy over the upgrade to JTR Captivator subs you need to know that Mike has just done the same with his projector. This ugrade is HUGE! Congrats.

[@Youthman]

Thanks! I have a friend Tony (from the SOWK Home Theater Tour) that has the NX7. He too said I need to do the firmware update.

[@hddanman7263]

HUGE boost upgrade

[@muddasirsultan6256]

Youthman can someone explain to me what goes in to filling out the CinemaScope screen? Do you have to stretch the image to fill? Do you use the anamorphic mode on the actual projector? If you do so, are you losing pixels and hence the only way to get back to the standard 4K resolution or native would to then put a paladin DCR lens on it? Sorry for all of the questions. I have an NX9 and am contemplating moving to CinemaScope.

The JVC PJs are like having a giant OLED. Best addition to my home theater! Congratulations brother and God bless you!

[@carloslarard]

correct. it's 95% close to a oled tv.

[@TheGarvito]

Carlos Lara current high end led tvs are t even 95% close to oled, let alone projectors.

[@hddanman7263]

The biggest difference would be the sets brightness if that's important to the viewer but in a darkened room should not be issue especially considering the HUGE price difference.

[@neilschneider7367]

I have the JVC NX5. I did a lot of research and decided the extra 100 lumens and the other changes are minimum so not worth the price delta. Mind you I came from the JVC RS35 which is old but when it came out it was the best. It was about $10000. Congrats on the new projector.

[@jimcameron1234]

That's why i go NX9 300 more Lumen + A1 crisp super sharp 100mm glass optic

[@ricklewis3282]

Enjoy your new JVC NX7. I’ve had my RS2000 for a year now. This projector produces an absolutely stunning image!

[@rblvideos]

Rick, my main concern is how people say that the bulb's brightness declines over time. Have you noticed that, after a year? Do you need to make adjustments?

[@ricklewis3282]

Ron Lam I keep the projector on the low lamp setting. Currently I have 530hrs on my lamp. I haven’t noticed any reduction in brightness. I do have a cave which is really dark, also I’m using a Stewart FireHawk filmscreen which helps boost contrast and brightness

[@rblvideos]

@@ricklewis3282 Thank you. It does seem like as big of a deal as just reading the stats....helps. I appreciate your input.

[@muddasirsultan6256]

Rick Lewis hi rick, do you have a 16:9 screen or a 2:35:1? If you have the widescreen, are you having to stretch the image to fit it or are you using an anamorphic lens?

[@ricklewis3282]

Muddasir Sultan I have a 16:9 Stewart filmscreen. Since I watch a lot of content other than movies, football, hockey etc. I prefer the 16:9 screen

[@fotisgeorgantas697]

You made the best choice..JVC makes the best projectors in the world by far.Its black level and native contrast is just unreal..There is no one in the projector and generally the projected image industry neither its a TV or projector that can achieve that level of performance..I own a DLA-X700R and its still far beyond ahead the other manufacturers on this department..It has a NATIVE 130.000:1 contract. Just extraordinary!!!

[@carloslarard]

I was able to test by myself NX9, with a Screen innovation screen, and believe me, i had not seeing yet anything even close to JVC NX lineup, including commercial cinema.

[@chadlott4566]

I've had the NX7 for a few months now (upgraded from a JVC RS-520 e shift) and absolutely love it. UHD 4k content is amazing.

[@edwinanstey5123]

Hey Micheal, I would love to see a comparison between a native and non-native 4k. I'm still running 1080p and when I upgrade to 4k do I splurge and go native or budget buy and go non native. It would be very interesting to see and would be very interested to see something like that! 👍💯

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the suggestion Edwin. Just keep in mind comparing a lower and 1080 P to a mid-level need a 4K is likely going to be much different then going from a 1080 P to a lower end 4K

[@hddanman7263]

You could get a good deal on a rs600 i bet and that i think would be a better upgrade then focusing on true 4k i would only say 4k is going to impress you if you have a problem with 1080p res if not focus on better picture quality.best luck

[@CravingTheMagic]

I'd just get the JVC installed and enjoy it. Epson is nowhere near to what the JVC is and can't wait to see your screen with the JVC installed. Great video as always.

[@killroytm]

Welcome to the JVC 4K club! You are going to love it. Now time for a huge anamorphic lens to really make it shine.

[@Youthman]

Cmon!!!! You guys kill me! No matter what upgrade I make, someone is like “Oh but now you have to try this!” This Rabbit Hole doesn’t have a bottom does it? 😂😂😂

[@killroytm]

@@Youthman The Rabbit hole is way deep my friend... JVC AutoCal is amazing. I calibrated my RS3000 with it and it looks incredible. You will need two meters to do it, one for color and one for gamma. Then you have to get either a HTPC with MadVR for dynamic tone mapping or a Lumagen Radiance Pro...my vote is for the the MadVR HTPC. By far the best way to get the HDR on that JVC to look best. Then you have to get a HUGE ISCO IIIL anamorphic lens with a slider to make sure your 4K gets the full panel of resolution. Your journey has only just begun!!!

[@hddanman7263]

@@killroytm oh man it never ends does it oh well here we go.

[@donhensley403]

@@killroytm how much difference does the lens make and what does it actually do? That thing cost as much as the darn projector

[@killroytm]

@@donhensley403 They don't make the ISCOs anymore so you can only buy them used for less that $2k. The basics are this... either the projector, or a scaler, expands the scope image to fill the entire 16:9 panel. Since the image is now stretched out to use all the pixels, you use the 1.33x lens to horizontally stretch it to fill a 2.35:1 (or up to 2.40:1) screen. You get a projected image that is 33% larger, going from a diagonal 120" (104" wide) 16:9 to a 150" (138" wide) scope screen...that is just my screen size for reference.

[@optimusvader7823]

MICHAEL, i am really happy for you brother . That JVC is Massive , look as big like as the OPTOMA ZK750 or the SONY VPLVW995ES. Whatever you want to do is ok , I really want to learn more of projectors ( i am more in to AUDIO) . I have a friend few years ago that ask me about speakers for Home theater and i was able to recommend him different options but the part that i did not know was the projectors and screens ( on screen i just know that STEWART SCREENS ARE REALLY GOOD) . He told me something that not many people know and is THE CHROMA SUBSAMPLING 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:0:0 ! Chroma subsampling is a type of compression that reduces the color information in a signal in favor of luminance data. This reduces bandwidth without significantly affecting picture quality.I think is a topic that you can cover here in the channel ! Be BLESS BROTHER AND ENJOY YOUR NEW TOY !

[@Karmic_Chaos]

I would like to see a side by side of the Epson vs JVC. I have the 5050ub and have been eyeing the JVC since it came out.

[@HoiA1980]

HA! I commented on your video from yesterday about pj screen aspect ratios. I run dual screens (16:9 & 2.39:1) and dual JVC projectors (RS500 & RS2000). Upgrades never ever end and I'll be looking forward to your next video running your new JVC NX7 with a DCR lens and madVR to play your movies.

[@battousai412]

Awesome, do you have a picture we can see of how you have the dual screens?

[@hddanman7263]

Damn homies dual screens and dual JVC man sounds good to me i got a RS600 thinking about getting mad VR or lumagen pro instead of upgrade projector what you think boss

[@HoiA1980]

@@hddanman7263 Don't have experience with lumagen because it's too expensive for me but madVR (with an above average/higher end GPU) is at least equal to or better, in terms of picture quality) according to everyone on AVSF that has used both. Very steep learning curve though if you want to dive into the "HTPC" world, I gave up many many times before getting it right. The newer JVC's dynamic tone mapping does an excellent job though with HDR. I'd say give madVR a shot with your already great RS600 because you will still want to use it even if you upgrade your projector. I still am not an expert though haha.

[@hometheaterenthusiast1566]

Very happy for you. I have mine and haven’t used it much because I’m still putting my home theater together. Hope you enjoy it.

[@hddanman7263]

☹️☹️i feel for you but it will be awesome once your done.

[@johnphillips1328]

Black levels are the exact reason I went with a JVC RS540U and I couldn't be happier. I look forward to your take on the NX7 as I've kicked around the idea of picking one up.

[@hddanman7263]

I herd from a few people who have that model line that getting mad vr with dynamic tone mapping or a lumagen pro would look almost as good go check brolicbeast youtube page and find his DMT vids then that way you can enjoy your projector more and already have better DMT for future upgrade i think hometheater reviews wrote a article about how the nx9 has great DMT but the mad vr program and the lumagen pro were way better.best of luck

[@brnmaull]

Congrats Youthman! I would love to see that comparison especially just for the black levels alone. I was going to say. Looks like your done doing upgrades but I know that's not true. I look forward to your next video drop. I wish you luck with it. Stay safe out there man. This shit is getting real!

Upgraded to the JVC NX7 from the Epson 6040UB, one if the best upgrades I made in my HT. Then I added the Paladin DCR Lens and 2.35:1 Scope Screen, this is now an even better upgrade. I had the Epson 6040 as a place holder until I could afford a 4K projector without E-Shift.

[@IrishNomad]

Been wondering if this projector would be worth the upgrade over their last e-shift5 models.

[@dj.excess]

Been waiting to jump on 4k because they don’t offer 3d and I’m a huge 3d fan. If I was to get this, is it good for daily TV use or would I wear it out a lot and should save for movies only? Also, what’s the difference of the 3 models u explain? Maybe I should go this route and get a automated screen with the tv behind it when I wanna watch regular shows?

[@Anders-Falt]

Oh my god you bought a JVC nx7 impressive. That is my dream projector if I had that money. I have a Sony 295es in my apartment with a 98" 2.35:1 high contrast screen. Love that setup. Looking forward to hear your opinion about the JVC. Shane at Sparechange bought the same modell too.

Most contents in 5.1 can i have an AVR or a processor detected the movie signals and turn it to 9.2 or 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos?? If yes please what should i do and what should I have

[@peat381low8]

I got an epson 5050ub sort of 4k projector. I felt like I made a mistake because to get advertised contrast ratio I need a dark room with dark paint. I am going to keep it for my future home theater after college. Sad that projectors don't get dolby vision yet. I might sell my epson to get a 98'inch TCL. I'll just compensate the smaller screen by moving closer. This might end up in the living room anyway without painting the walls dark. I need a side by side comparison of both to see which one I would keep. Tvs have thousands of hours of life compared to my lamp based one. Don't know what to do yet.

[@MrBlueacara]

I would be very interested in Epson vs JVC- out of the box. Most people don't get a professional calibrator (me included). What does the extra few thousand dollars get us? Is it really worth it?

Genuinely happy for you my guy that pj looks fire 🔥 enjoy!!

[@Youthman]

Thanks Jose!

[@alford35]

Congrats on the NX7. JVC was my first PJ, the RS1X back in 2006(idk exact date but around there). Can’t go wrong with JVC in the PJ market I’m waiting to upgrade my Sony until the NX7/9 features are the standard for the entry level models. I will never spend what I did on my Sony VW1100es again. My plan is to run a stack of JVC or Sony future models once I’m happy with the price vs performance. Filling a 13’ wide screen just takes so much light output normally have to sacrifice contrast but today’s tech is getting there for sure without spending crazy laser performance money. Enjoy that beautiful PJ.

[@hddanman7263]

That is exactly what I want to do got an rs600 and want to buy another and run dual with mad vr or lumagen pro.i think that would be better then buying anything else I'm not to pressed at all about true 4k fyi.

[@LifeofBliss]

That is beastly man. JVC is the endgame for me as well as far as video. For now at least... Always heard the blacks are legendary. Still rocking the same PJ as you had, the 8000u. Really happy with it, love the lens memory feature!

Good for you on the new projector, Michael. I'm very happy for you! As for doing a video comparing your current projector to the JVC...that's a whole lot of work on your end to show everyone what is obvious results. I, personally, don't think it's necessary...but thanks for offering.

[@mnunnery357]

Subscribed! I just purchased an JVC NX7 PJ and Marantz AV7705 pre/pro last week and now KZbin started recommending your channel to me; I see you have both of these in your setup. Somehow, I managed to wait ~10 years to upgrade the theater from the previous Marantz AV8003 pre/pro and JVC RS-10 PJ. The pre/pro hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using the NX7 in a 'legacy' mode so it will handshake with my AV8003 pre/pro for now. Even in this 1080P legacy mode, the PJ upgrade over the JVC RS-10 is unbelievable. Looking forward to 4K UHD. Can't wait to hear how the integration goes for you. Make sure to let us know any tricks & tips on PJ settings as there is a mountain of information to go through for the best configuration.

Thank you and congrats!

[@davidrivera2165]

Forget about the side by side comparison of 5040UB vs. NX7. The 5040 has been replaced by the 5050, which now has better HDR tone mapping than your 5040, and the NX7 is in another league. It's like saying let's compare a single Klipsch 15" sub to a single 18" captivator. The Klipsch is a good sub, while the Captivator is a great home theater sub.

[@gilbertrios5283]

This is the same projector I currently own and my 2nd jvc. Unless something better comes along, when it comes to projection, JVC is king imho. The best thing I can say about the JVC projectors I've owned is that the picture resembles more of analog than digital... Just gorgeous!

Agreed,ditto on comment!

[@brewt1mer]

A lot of it comes down to understanding of what image quality actually is..most people think that bright,over saturated colour is a sign of great image .. as we involved in the home cinema hobby all know it’s not the case..black level,colour accuracy and motion are much more important..which a more expensive projector especially with glass optics that provide greater definition can deliver the goods far better than cheaper options

[@Youthman]

As a photographer, I know firsthand how much quality glass impacts the quality of an image. I can only imagine the NX7 has a much higher end glass than the Epson.

Hi, I came across with your JVC clip just now. I am in market to upgrade my Panasonic PT ae 2000 (yes it’s really old but still performs and looks like you had 3000 before) to Sony or JVC. I don’t have dedicated dark broom but my room does not have a direct ambient light and the lighting can be semi-controlled. I really didn’t know about Jvcs and the quality but through watching a lot of reviews, I’m little familiar with JVC now. also looked at JVC vs Sony projectors and it appears that JVC has more deep black and future proof (120mhz hdmi 2.1). my question if you have time is recently they introduced new lines of laser projectors both Sony and JVC. are you looking into perhaps upgrade to laser from the lamp? let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Hi, can someone please answer my question. I have the JVC NX9 and currently have a 16:9 screen. I am considering moving towards a 2:35:1 screen, however if I do so will I still get 4K resolution without having to use an anamorphic lens?

Im looking to buy a JVC projector but but unfortunately I do not have the same budget lol. I have a budget of 3000 $ Canadian, which model you will recommend to me?

[@LoudCobra1]

Yes a comparison would be interesting. Very curios about the black

[@Youthman]

My Epson and previous two Panasonic projectors has grey bars. JVC is known for their killer black levels so I don’t believe there will be much comparison there.

[@LoudCobra1]

@@Youthman Okay I take your word

[@Youthman]

That’s just the #1 thing JVC has always been known for. Incredible black levels

[@mikej6565]

I too had an Epson 5040ube then the JVC rs540u/790r and now the NX7. WOW! What an amazing projector! Check out the Panamorph DCR lens. You'll gain back the lost light in 2.4:1 films, enough that running HDR content in low power mode will look amazing! (I bought a B-stock lens to save $$$)

[@teokotaimaui9847]

I really need one for watching nrl on big screen jvc projectors the best I love it

[@cyberlight22]

how is the install going?

[@Youthman]

We are building the shelving support for the projector as we speak.

[@cyberlight22]

@@Youthman cool I can't wait to see the finished product it sounds like a really cool projector

[@dennypewsey6683]

I have been drooling over that JVC for a while. I have a JVC RS1 that is 15 years old and has always worked perfect and of course a great picture. I am looking forward to your full review, so maybe it will tip me to pull that trigger!

[@jarodreddig63]

Youthman congrats buddy and welcome to the JVC Club!!! The water is fine 😎

[@Youthman]

The water feels awesome!

[@jarodreddig63]

Youthman 👌😎I love my RS540

[@ricardonieves8136]

Hi there, thinking of getting the JVC NX7. I heard it can display anamorphic without the lens. I don’t see where it is mentioned in their website. Is this true?

[@Youthman]

This widow will answer your question - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKPCdGmbqZtpi6c

[@DIGGERS881]

What is your front row viewing distance and screen size? I have a scope screen and will be buying an NX7 this week.

[@Youthman]

Front row is 9’ from 150” diagonal in 2.35:1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnPYeX-dfNCZjJY

[@Roo-n9j]

Still running an older Sony VPL VW95ES, once this lamp dies, I will upgrade most likely to the NX7 too for the 4k ability and HDR. What mount are you using?

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

I’ve done the same thing. I have purchased the cheapest model in the line and then ended up upgrading a year or two down the road. Sometimes it is simply a matter of available finances. I do try to aim for the mid tier models now though.

[@macho9556]

Congrats Youthman!!! Nasty projector

[@biff196972]

I'm as excited as you to see this projector, congratulations man 👍That thing is just awesome and can't wait to hear your impressions

[@gogosarlo]

When you upgrade it may I buy yours?

[@Youthman]

I always offer anything I’m selling to my patrons first

[@Davek2sb]

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts comparing the JVC to the Epson. I currently have the 5040ub and I am thinking about upgrading.

[@Leo-G1982]

Unreal projector , enjoy this amazing beast

[@markreeves7177]

Yes! I would be interested! Side by side would be great. Uncallibrated or not. We can get an idea. 3 side by side. Calibrated old one, Uncallibrated old one and New JVC Uncallibrated!

[@nedkulic2164]

Hey Michael... Fantastic.. I'm on the path to Grabbing One..... In the next month!! Thank you for your fantastic reviews and insights. 🤜💥🤛 Ned

[@PierreEXM]

Very happy for you ! A beautiful beast 😍

[@samidebs3474]

Congratulations it looks amazing 👍

[@Youthman]

Thanks!

[@appleiphone69]

I have the JVC RS400. I find the faux 4K still blows me away after 4 years. I’m thinking when 8k projectors that are laser or led come down in price in 4 or 5 years is when I will upgrade. I look at my 10k home theater and still feel blessed and humbled that I have 135” screen and Dolby Atmos. I have two bouncy house speakers. Would love to upgrade but that would involve a new receiver and ceiling speakers. Other financial responsibilities and other hobbies come first. In a nutshell what I am trying to say is be happy to what you have. Many people don’t have a roof over the heads and many that do are in dire straights with the impact of Covid-19.

[@Youthman]

Nothing wrong with faux 4K. The Epson has served me well but I’m looking forward to the upgrade in image quality. I too feel extremely blessed that this is my job. I have been doing this full-time along with my website development business since January. I would be just as happy if I didn’t have a home theater.

[@lackr0073]

@Youthman where did you buy your new projector from. I’m going to buy one and looking at using your amazon link.

[@Youthman]

I got mine through Eastporters but it's currently much cheaper on Amazon. I'm still SUPER impressed with it. If you do end up picking it up on Amazon, I would be grateful if you did use my link. ;)

[@lackr0073]

Youthman Thanks, I was hesitant because the JVC site says they don’t sell any projectors online. So I was a little concerned that they may be gray market projectors. The Amazon sellers I checked are not listed as JVC dealers... I may skip this purchase, but will use your links for other upgrades I plan on making. Side note.. love your channel, really thankful for all the years you spent in your prior life pouring into our youth! God bless!

[@Youthman]

Absolutely understand. Be blessed my friend.

[@superandroidphone]

I feel you brother man, I feel the same way when ever I get a new product for my home teatre. Keep up the good work👍👍

[@chem_e_markmark6374]

Side by side comparison of the JVC and the epson would be awesome. Both should be pretty good out of the box.

[@hddanman7263]

Out doesn't matter look into it.best of luck

[@ManosPairis]

Little excited you say!? Man...your face and your smile is glowing hehe. I was sure that you were going for a 4k projector and since you left it for so much was almost certain for a native 4k and you got the jvc nx7! Congrats for your buy. According to the reviews you are going to love it XD. Time to see all of your movies again XD.

[@svm2020]

yes.. please compare Epson vs JVC

[@Youthman]

JVC is a huge upgrade over the Epson in image quality, detail, contrast and color. The Epson was brighter but anytime you increase brightness, you have to sacrifice the other qualities (which is why JVC doesn't make light canons).

[@nedkulic2164]

WOW........I did Have a eShift 4k JVC but not true 4K .....so I was blessed enough to get a Native Sony VPL-HW1100es 4K ....but yes JVC new Native 4K is mind Blowing.........Lotto is coming my way ...Lol....!! Look forward to seeing it Light up the room......What a Meteorite...........its is......Well done !!!!
