Looks like a nice, well-built, unit; although, I think JVC calling a pixel shifting projector 4K is misleading.
I’ve read the reviews. Sam gave me a demo today.Looks like a nice, well-built, unit; although, I think JVC calling a pixel shifting projector 4K is misleading.

It’s 4K UHD, no lie.
I'll take your word for it. I'm still holding out for something true 4K at a reasonable price
Didn’t do any 3D. We were there for Atmos and UHD.
Personally, I’ve given up on 3D more or less. It’s a dead format. My friends and wife don’t want to watch it. So, I’m looking to UHD and not worrying about if new displays support 3D.
What’s a “reasonable price”?
If eShift is acceptable, could be next year, catching a good sale.2 to 3000 with 3D support, good black levels and HDR and DV capability. I might even go as high as 3500, but 4000 and is getting to be too much.
I’ve got nothing against 3D itself. But it’s a dead format. And neither wife nor social circle wants to watch it. I’ve got six pairs of glasses: I’ve used 2 pairs all of twice in two years.I saw Black Panther in 3D. I was disappointed with the Real 3D presentation of that film but I still enjoy 3D at home.

For those that do watch 3D routinely at home, it’s a bummer that UHD doesn’t support it.
Hey guys,
As you can see, I have mounted my projector (might not be perfectly centered) and is as far back as I could go with the mount (almost to the beam). This projector has served me while the past 2 and a half years and still blows me away to this day... love it! Projection wall I turned the pic on (which may not be a perfect square) and taped around 4 or 5 cm outside of the image and painted a flat white paint within the taped area. Measured screen size is 160".
I would like to upgrade to a 4k projector in the range of 3K canadian or less sometime between now and April. Here are some options I have narrowed down to with some research:

...And not everyone is going to pair it with an Oppo and run beta software necessary to get them talking the same language. So keep that in mind please.
I’m not discouraged. But I’m glad for you pioneers to take the arrows in the back, so us settlers can make a more informed decision later.I don't want to discourage anyone based on my initial impressions. @Ronald Epstein @DaveF
I very specifically bought this model with the intention of running custom curves on it. Not everyone is going to do that. And not everyone is going to pair it with an Oppo and run beta software necessary to get them talking the same language. So keep that in mind please.
Like I said, I am through the pain point now and mostly happy. But there are no instruction manuals here, you gotta jump through hoops and follow guides written by engineers and hobbyists....
