JVC DLA-RS2 Summary: The Bottom Line

Based on my owning the RS1 for 7 months as of this writing and considering the improvements in the RS2, I will simply say that the RS2 is a keeper. For all but a few of the hardcore perfectionists and really rich folks, who just want the best and don't mind plunking down $50,000 for a projector, the JVC DLA-RS2 should be your last projector. Or, at least until the next breakthrough comes along - like 3-D, or perhaps super-duper quintuple resolution Ultra Special HDTV standards make all this obsolete!
