Based on previous information about this lamp (PKL2618U), in High Lamp Power mode it should last for about 3,500 hours. JVC lists the average lifespan (time to half brightness) of the lamp in Low mode at 4,500 hours. The same 265W lamp that was found in the NX5 is used in the NP5, although now JVC has managed to squeeze an extra 100 lumens out of it for a rated brightness output of 1,900 ANSI lumens. ![]() The zoom and focus are also both motorized, which keeps initial setup quick and easy. There's 80% vertical and 34% horizontal motorized lens shift and a long 2.0x optical zoom (zoom range distance measurements can be seen with the ProjectorCentral JVC DLA-NP5 Projector Throw Distance Calculator). The lens comes with a removable plastic cover. The projector also shares the same 65 mm, 17-elements in 15-groups, all-glass lens as the NZ7 and NZ8. This is the same imaging solution used in JVC's laser projector line, but unlike those models, the NP5 does not have support for 8K signals or offer any form of e-shift pixel shifting to enhance detail beyond native 4K. The DLA-NP5 uses three 0.69-inch 4K D-ILA devices for a native 4K (4096x2160) resolution without the need for pixel shifting. For the remainder of the review I will refer to the projector as the DLA-NP5 as it's the more common model number for the consumer market. Save for a cosmetic gold ring around the lens, it is in all ways identical to the DLA-NP5. The sample sent to me by JVC and used for this review is a the DLA-RS1100 integrator model. ![]() Could the lamp-based DLA-NP5 satisfy those whose excitement was cut short by the LS12000? So, instead of stealing all the focus from the NP5 announcement, it intensified it. But the Epson was missing two key features that many enthusiasts were looking for-Full 1080p 3D compatibility and dynamic tone mapping. ![]() And for $5,000, it's less than half the price of DLA-NZ7 and $2,000 less than the $7,000 DLA-NP5. Instead, the three new laser projectors joined the existing $6,000, lamp-based DLA-NX5/ DLA-RS1000-an excellent projector in its own right, but one that has been around for a few years already.īefore the NX5's successor-the DLA-NP5/ DLA-RS1100 featured here-could be released, Epson put out its own high-end home theater projector, the LS12000. But there wasn't a new sub-$10,000 release in the line-up. As expected, the line has been well received and the $11,000 NZ7 received a ProjectorCentral Editor's Choice award. JVC revamped their home theater projector line with the release of the NZ series laser projectors-the DLA-NZ9/ DLA-RS4100, DLA-NZ8/ DLA-RS3100, and DLA-NZ7/ DLA-RS2100-that all have HDMI 2.1 and some form of 8K e-shift. There's been a bit of a shakeup in the dedicated home theater projector market over the past six months. The JVC DLA-NP5 delivers a truly superb picture in both SDR and HDR with JVC’s own dynamic tone mapping, even before calibration.
