Best praise vs top criticism for JVC DLA-NZ500
“Better projectors have good lens shift. Depending on budget, 5050ub, ls12000, jvc nz500, they all can do lens shift and it will not be an issue lower. It does not degrade picture quality either.”
“JVC NZ800 is your only answer, especially for a 150" screen. If your doing 120" screen you can save more than half by getting the new JVC NZ500 or the NZ700 which are equally comparable to the 800. The only difference is no 3D, and less lumens and 8k e shift. So if you don't need the lumens for the bigger screen, don't care about 3d and the 8k is pointless as no content is 8k, save yourself $$ and get one of the other 2. I have the 500 and the picture is unbelievable.”
