JVC DLA-NX9 / RS3000 Projector Owners Thread

[Sonnie Parker]

I snagged a super great deal on a JVC NX9 ... couldn't resist. Got it connected yesterday and cranked up the system, had it on Dish Network initially and was blown away by the satellite image. Then switched it over to Netflix and again could not believe what I was seeing. Then I watched Monster Hunter 4K last night and was totally blown away. This PJ is the real deal... the clarity, color, depth of image... gorgeous to say the least. Monster Hunter has some really good HDR scenes to show it off as well. I don't ever remember seeing a picture this good anywhere... not that I've been very many places with a higher-end PJ. It is a huge projector, but was easy to mount with the Chief system.

One of the neat features with this unit is the ability to save 10 different settings (Installation Mode). In my case I have 16:9 and 2.35:1 settings, which include HDR settings for the Roku (Netflix/Amazon/Apple 4K)... then another set with each AR and the UB9000 HDR setting, which is a special setting in the JVC (Pana-PQ). Then there are some aspect ratios in between that I can set memory slots for. Very convenient.

Congrats Sonnie! I’m still not at the point where I could spend the price equivalent of a small car for a projector. But if I would, this may be one I would consider.

Someone is definitely going to get a good deal on your 6050 though!

For what I paid it would be a used small car.

Yep... within 10 minutes of me posting the 6050 there were three people wanting it. I guess my price was too low.

I don't ever remember seeing a picture this good anywhere... not that I've been very many places with a higher-end PJ.

Congratulations! It does have about the best image quality available.

. . . then another set with each AR and the UB9000 HDR setting, which is a special setting in the JVC (Pana-PQ)

Note that the Pana-PQ was developed prior to JVC updating the firmware for its own dynamic tone mapping. The Panasonic tone mapping is static and JVC's is a frame-by-frame analysis of the content. It is superior to using the outdated Panasonic method. Make sure you also use the Theater Optimizer.

Thanks... and yep... after further investigations I found I should be better off with the HDR Auto Adapt and Theater Optimizer.

My guess is this will be a very small and quite elite owners thread? I did some research on this projector and it looks amazing on paper! That price though. My banker said absolutely not! Congrats Sonnie.

Thanks... really enjoyed it thus far and looking forward to re-watching a few movies.

You can rest assured if I had not gotten a super duper deal on it, I would have never purchased it myself.

The NX-9 is such a sweet projector. Congrats, Sonnie.

I've been running an NX-7 and love it. JVC all the way - their tone mapping capacities are insane (and absolutely necessary for projectors). Quite a bit different from the last models of 4K-eshift projectors, eh?

Give Ford V Ferrari for a spin.

I am in awe at just how good this projector makes everything look. It is truly fabulous to my eyes... and the drastic difference I see over all the others I've owned... and I can't even see good.
