THIS is side-by-side comparison! Thanks for doing that!

[@hamany99]

Thanks a lot! JVC is not available where I live, and I was worried that Sony won't provide me the same sharpness and contrast. I think your comparison made me change my mind.

[@yosh7479]

Excellent video. One thing I noticed that was not commented on- the Sony seemed to crush blacks and lose shadow detail. On the same scene I could see all of the details in the dark areas with the JVC. Also in the extreme HDR scenes on the Sony the detail was lost in the bright areas. From what I see I agree Sony has more detail with processing but the HDR/black level/shadow detail goes to JVC. I’d be happy either way.

[@mmn18]

Absolutely great comparison. They are very very close. I have had nx7 for a little over 2 years now and I ❤️ it. The only little thing with nx7 is annoying me is when you switch the memory setting, you have to press back or menu to remove the pop up window.

The Sony to me had a little more pop but at times the colors looked a little oversaturated. I’m sure they’re both excellent projectors but $1000 is a $1000 that you can put in your pocket and that could be the deciding factor

Thank you so much for this video ! Maybe you can do a video with jvc n7 and sony 915es and I tell you that was the challenge with the almost the same tag price here in eu . In the other hand comparing 915es with nx9 is not fair ! The lens block and the shift 8k is in other league .

[@mojojojo_BB]

I really appreciate you NOT telling us which was which at the start to eliminate bias. It could be the camera being used, but I did not see any issues with blacks and HDR on the Sony and the colours were much more vivid, pushing a bit too saturated on some scenes (like Mad Max). The underwater scene in The Meg was a hands down winner for the JVC.

You need a dark painted room, with zero light pollution to take advantage of the NX5 better contrast. In a room with white walls, the reflexions will eat up that contrast. NX5 has around 4X more native contrast than your curent projector but you need the room...

Sony clips some specular highlights to preserve overall detail. The X1 Processor is outstanding. I've owned my 715 since December and I'm projecting on a 16:9 screen. The black bars could be a shade or 2 darker. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.

I went to a home theater store last week and they had a 715 and a 915 in side by side rooms. We played the same scene on both, some F&F scene, off a kalaidescape media server.

One question, since JVC is better in everything else except detail, can't we just tweak the settings for more sharpness/details? I'm quite familiar with the EPSON 6050 option where you can razor sharp your image with the cost of grain/noise. So my questions is, is JVC tweakable to produce the same details as the SONY?

It's ashamed that they were not calibrated. As is the Sony does it for me. The Sony is razor sharp. The skin tone colour accuracy is one of the hardest to get right.

The eyes can tell, just have a look at the eyes....

I thought it definitely blew Sony out of the water in the HDR content. Off this video alone, I'd prefer the JVC, but having been to a showroom I don't know if I'd agree with the statement I just made. Saw an NX5 vs an Epson 6050. From what I've been reading consistently, I don't think I got a fair and accurate test, because the Epson had deeper black levels than the JVC did.

[@garypranzo9334]

@@zeke7515 Epsons perform better in rooms with ambient light and while a 100% dark room will make all projectors look better I think the Sony and JVC will jet past the 6050 when the room is dark enough to optimize the Sony and JVC. In the end in 2021 Any projector over $1500 looks amazing.

[@keifferbuggs6466]

If one has the advantage on sharpness and the other on black levels/contrast, etc., why not comment on support, warranties, etc. A lot of people may be considering buying on the gently used market and the warrant may or may not be transferrable. I think Sony's warranty is transferrable and JVC is not. To me, that gives the nod a little bit to Sony with everything else being equal or tied. Thoughts?

Dilemma!! The JVC is designed to be compatible with the best blu ray player - Panasonic 9000. The JVC requires a plug-in emitter for 3D, the Sony is built in. The Sony is more expensive but in the UK is often discounted as ‘ex-demo’, whereas the JVC is typically sold to order and not discounted. I could buy a 4K Professional FS5 Sony camcorder for the price of the projector….that cannot be right.

[@borger9952]

in scandinavia you cannot find a new jvc and the sony is in stock and discounted every where.... just goes to show which one is most popular

[@Antimonkat]

I liked the blues on the JVC, I liked the reds and the sharpness on the Sony, I like my $4000 price tag on my Epson 6050. I don't think either of these is a $5000-$6000 improvement. If tone mapping is important to you for HDR, could get a Lumagen and still be ahead of the game in all but sharpness.

[@georgepopescu1327]

In every scene there are huge color differences, suggesting that the projectors were not properly calibrated for either rec 709 or bt2020. After calibration both should display the same colors. The differences are there to be seen but not in color accuracy at last not in rec 709. Also at 3:00 what Sony does is just oversharpening the image by defoult, as we can see a lot of artefacts caused by this. You can achive this on JVC too if that is what you want to see but in my oppinion it makes the image worse, not better. You can get rid of the grain on both projectors if you tweek the settings but at the expense of loosing a bit detail. In my oppinon the Sony needs a calibration , it can't be used out of the box since colors are completely wrong, with red all over the place. In most scenes it looks almost cartoonish.
