JVC's flagship home theater projector makes for stunning viewing in a dedicated home theater!

A quick clarification.  This JVC DLA-RS6710U accepts some 4K content, but technically it is still a 1080p projector, since it has 1080p panels.  It is not a native 4K projector.  It does use something called pixel shifting.

More on that later.  Let's get started.

The Epson Pro Cinema LS9600e is the little brother of the LS10000 that was have previously reviewed by Art

JVC DLA-RS4910 and the RS49 and X500R - are superb home theater projectors with excellent black levels, that are 3D capable and accept 4K source material!  They are all the same projector performance wise. This year we were unable to obtain a review unit directly from JVC in a timely basis, so we reached out to one of JVC's best known dealers - AVS, aka AV Science (click to visit).  Some of you know them as the creator's of the AVSforum.com (although they are now separately owned companies).   I want to express my thanks to them for the loan. Unfortunately I had relatively limited time with the RS4910 projector, and Mike our calibrator was out of town until just 3 days before I had to return it.  As a result, I didn't get to play with 3D, and didn't get much time to figure out some of the advanced features.  That's OK, I was still dazzled. I am traveling to Japan this week, so more content will be added when I return - artThis year JVC has expanded their lineup from three to four projectors. That's true for both JVC's Consumer group, which market this JVC DLA-X35 projector and the other "X" projectors. The JVC Pro side offers essentially identical projectors with the RS designation. The DLA-X35 is this year's version of last year's DLA-X30. JVC this year also has the X55R previously reviewed. That projector is mostly the same as the DLA-X35, except the X35 costs $1500 less, lacking the X55R's e-shift2 feature. Despite being JVC's "entry level" projector (if you want to call any projector that's $3500 entry level), the DLA-X35 manages to offer some impressive results. Let's begin with an overview of JVC's DLA-X35 projector. Pick a color. We received the DLA-X35W finished in a low-reflective white, but there's a DLA-X35B finished in the same non-shiny black as the X55R.Mitsubishi's new HC8000D home theater projector (first shown at the CEDIA show last fall), has a manufacturer-suggested list price of $2,999 and it's sold by local installing authorized dealers.   It is a 2D and 3D capable projector, but, please note, the $2999 price does not include the necessary 3D emitter, nor any 3D glasses.  Figure an extra almost $500 to add 3D with two pair of glasses. That puts it in line, pricewise, with several direct competitors. This Mitsubishi projector itself is DLP based, a single chip design. It is 2D and 3D. The HC8000D projector, replaces last year's HC7800, (which is also replaced by the similar HC7900DW which we already reviewed).  The D in HC8000D, I presume reminds us that this is a DLP projector.The JVC DLA-X70R is designed for a dedicated home theatre/cave. If you don't have such a room, and are looking for a projector for a family room with off-white walls and windows, this JVC probably is not for you.
