I cannot speak for the Sony but compared to my previous JVC models (570R and X35A) this projector stands in a completely different class.
Not all upgrades are worth their associated costs. This one is without question.
I can’t express enough of how much the NX5 is a monstrous upgrade over the 570R or prior/lesser projectors.
The NX5 is (obviously) in my opinion a HUGE upgrade.
I can’t say if the NX7 would have been worth the additional coin. It’s hard to find a place to compare them side by side or even...
I’ve had my NX5 installed for 3 days now. It is exceeding my expectations in every aspect. My previous 570R doesn’t even compare.
I’m watching 4K and HDR content again like it’s the first time.
