![]() Its Cinema-flavoured presets work well right out of the box for the most part, although I suggest you turn off the dynamic contrast system to preserve shadow detail in dark areas and image stability. The DLA-X5000 is fairly forgiving where SDR image setup is concerned. The DLA-X5000 has plenty of pricing room to play with before native 4K versus e-shift 4K debates need to be had. Let’s not forget that the cheapest native 4K projector you can buy right now is the Sony VPL-VW320ES at £5,850. But in practice, e-shift can yield tangible picture benefits, even if it isn’t up there with full native 4K. I realise that this sounds a little daft, and I’d love JVC to develop an affordable native 4K D-ILA chip some time soon. Instead it uses JVC’s “e-shift 4K” technology to deliver a pseudo 4K effect by placing two 1,920 x 1,080 chipsets in sequence, offset from one another diagonally by half a pixel.įeed the DLA-X5000 a native 4K source and the projector will first downscale it to Full HD, before feeding it through its e-shift system to inject it with 4K “pixel density”. This is a welcome leap up from the 4:2:0/10-bit of Sony’s more expensive VPL-VW520ES native 4K/HDR projector.Īs is the case with all of JVC’s projectors to date, there’s a catch to its ability to play 4K video: the projector doesn’t actually enjoy a native 4K resolution. The HDMIs on the DLA-X5000 can handle transfer rates of 18Gbps, sufficient for 4K video with 4:4:4/36-bit colour reproduction at 24 frames a second. Having 100 lumens less to play with therefore makes the DLA-X5000’s claimed HDR abilities look even more optimistic. Normally this wouldn’t concern me, but both projectors claim to support high dynamic range video and the more powerful DLA-X7000 has been proven not bright enough to do HDR justice. The DLA-X5000 also falls short of the DLA-X7000 in the brightness department, mustering 1,700 lumens versus the the latter’s 1,800 lumens. That said, the DLA-X5000’s claims fall hugely short of the quoted figures for JVC’s step-up DLA-X7000, which musters 120,000:1 natively and a ridiculous 1,200,000:1 in dynamic mode. ![]() Its claimed native contrast ratio of 40,000:1 outguns the dynamic contrast ratios of most rival projector types. ![]() There’s a claimed dynamic contrast ratio of 400,000:1 that leaves rival projection technologies for dead. The DLA-X5000’s spec list make some big promises. The projector is 3D-compatible but JVC didn’t provide any glasses for this review. The DLA-X5000 does look serious, and that’s appropriate considering the level of performance you’d expect at this level.Ĭonnections are par for the course: two HDMIs, one 12V trigger port, an RS-232C port and a 3D Sync port. ![]()
