Price in the US, I believe is $7495, almost that of the RS55. However, the 4800 has been created specifically for a different distribution channel of dealers though the AVID group, I believe. In other words, an alternative version when you buy from those dealers. This isn't too much different than what Epson does with their Home and Pro Cinema series, except that Epson has a number of home and a number of pro projectors, whereas JVC has their home and pro distribution RS45 vs X30, as well. But those projectors are basically identical but for the model numbers. Best of my knowledge it will only be available in the US. -a david, the 4800 is a hybrid, some features of the 55 some of the 45. Price in the US, I believe is $7495, almost that of the RS55.

You are correct, it's 720p, as I've answered some others, I really wasn't paying much attention - the new 1000ES had my full attention. I only put them on at the end out of curiosity. As I've seen low res "glasses" over the years and they are were pretty bad. This was far better. I've even asked for one to come in I'm going to take a quick look myself, but shoot them over to either Pete, or Scott S to see if they are good for gaming, which might be very cool, and those guys are likely to wear them for hours and hours while gaming, something I have no desire to do. -art Ivan, I blew it.

The RS45 looks pretty good at the show, but take your time. I believe they are talking November shipments here, and a whole lot of competition in 3D projectors at that price. I'm mostly advising my readers to relax for a month or so, with the hope I can get several of them reviewed. I hope, for example to have the Sony HW30ES, Epson 5010, PT-AE7000, Mitsubishi HC7800D in for review in the next 8 weeks. I am so looking forward to having several in here at the same time. Mike's going to be really busy calibrating. -art Clayton, the price in the US is $3495, or $3499. The RS45 looks pretty good at the show, but take your time.

Thing is, I don't know if JVC's sending out review projectors this year. The line I got was basically, they expect to have so many orders that they may not have any review units. Tsk! tsk! That's also what they told me last year after the aborted RS60 review - due to brightness. I was unable to get the RS40, RS50, or the HD250Pro out of them last year. The only way I was able to review the HD250 was by borrowing one from an end user... They are the only player of any interest at all, who didn't commit to getting me review projectors at the show. Sony, Panasonic, Epson, SIM2, Runco, and others have all promised, with only the "when" in question. As such, I fear it may be like last year, and you guys will just have to trust JVC, if they don't put out review projectors to us reviewers. We shall see. They've got a strong dealer channel, so they may well feel, they don't have to. But, this show we got to see the Epson 61000 again, and this time they swear it will ship before year end - more specifically November (but manufacturers can slip a bit). I'm looking forward to putting the 61000 up against my RS20. Which does better blacks, anyone's guess at this point, but my money says the Epson won't have any trouble matching, and beating the RS45, assuming it isn't improved over the RS40 in blacks. Interesting how the brands can shift positions. JVC has the RS45 priced, down with many of the other new 3D projectors - Sony, Epson 5010, Panasonic, etc... Perhaps slightly still on the high side of some of those, but at $3500, if we can actually land an RS45 (I am not hopeful), it would be competing in our $2K - $3500 category for the reports. -art Matthieu, hard to say, watching content I don’t know on a screen size and gain I don’t use, in a pretty “black” environment, I’m not used to.

Was it a lot brighter than the RS40? Comparable to what you already have seen from the concurents? You saw the JVC RS45 in 3D playing.

Comparable to what you already have seen from the concurents?

Do you know which is correct? Also, can you comment on the immersiveness of the experience, is it truly analogous to looking at a big screen from close up, or does your mind still recognize that you're looking at two tiny displays from very close up? Great site and blog, keep up the good work :) Art, everywhere else I’ve read states that the Sony 3D headset is 720p, but you state that it’s full HD (1080p). Do you know which is correct?
