  2. Review: JVC DLA-HD100 Front Projector

    Reviewer: E-Gear

    My UPS and FedEx delivery guys know me pretty well. I see each of them on a near-daily basis when they drop off the latest techno widget for review. As they’re fond of pointing out, some boxes are larger than others but nothing could have prepared us for the arrival of the DLA-HD100. Did JVC mistakenly send me a Volkswagen? Let’s just say the FedEx man was not a happy camper. I on the other hand was thrilled. Ever since a brief but convincing demo at the Consumer... Read more

    In the quest for deeper blacks and ever better contrast-ratio specs, dynamic irises that close down and open up the projector's light output automatically depending on the program material are all the rage. But there's no free lunch here. While the best auto-iris designs deepen blacks and increase contrast and are invisible in operation, there are inevitable issues with the varying black levels and brightness compression involved in this sleight of hand.

  5. JVC Looses Another Top-Notch Projector

    16 January 2008

    JVC's DLA-HD100 offers a definite edge over its previous standout D-ILA model, the HD-1, in one key performance area: picture contrast. And it does so without the use of an iris control — something that must have the rest of the industry scratching its collective head. Whether or not the boost in contrast ratio — along with extra amenities like powered zoom and focus, and HDMI 1.3 jacks — is enough to justify the $8,000 price tag of JVC's new projector will...
