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! 1.
