JVC - DLA-NZ8

NZ800 is nowhere near the Sony in image enhancement software. Also the Sony has superior motion/response time of the panels is much better. The NZ800 is meant for cinema/video content. Its less flexible for other uses, like gaming. Which it can do, but motion is very blurry and much inferior latency. Overdrive setting is available, but the inverse ghosting is annoying. /disappointed JVC NZ8 buyer that returned it after meager gaming performance.

Again, the velocity of the objects moving in your picture is what causes motion blur. Any live frame you take on an object that moves slowly won’t capture the motion blur the NZ800 produces. You have to take video footage and upload that. From there we can derive a still image based on a frame of fast motion. You can find the video where we can see motion blur at fast motion in a three way comparison on 3:38: https://youtu.be/h8raFc49HZE?si=7sRZ2lamJHThX5-N I’ve owned both JVC NZ8 and VW790ES at the same time and was able to extensively test and compare them. There’s really no contest the VW790ES has superior motion at 60hz. Due to motion blur, the 120hz mode on the JVC wasn’t great at all either. The advantage was mainly lost. Just really bad motion resolution, just not good pixel response times. Tested with a 4090 system. Also in terms of other things like input lag, the latest Sony does 12ms at 120hz. The NZ800 does 36ms at 120hz. Which is 3x slower. It’s not a good gaming projector at all and really compares badly.

Do you understand the concept behind pixel response time of a panel and how it causes motion blur? This is what the JVC does not do well. Again, I can show it to you if you could create a video instead of a still image.

Definitely the JVC NZ8. Native 4K. Native 120hz input/output. [https://www.jvc.com/usa/projectors/procision/dla-nz8/](https://www.jvc.com/usa/projectors/procision/dla-nz8/) If that's not in budget, then the Valerion models do a really good job with low latency. Many of the BenQ models do a good job as well. From the TK710 to their X3100i or X500i models.

JVC NZ8, loving mine. You will 2!

Not sure there are many good options. I own the JVC nz800 and wouldn’t recommend it for the sole purpose of gaming. 4k120 is buggy. Half the time it wants to go to 1080p with my PS5

NZ800. Currently running this in my theater. More like mid range, can be had for 15k if you contact a dealer directly. https://preview.redd.it/68qpp97w4t6f1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8d1ae952f1af60271a387cee940fcaed60e7965

Finished my home theater rebuild. Went from a Sony XRD 1080p to a DLA NZ800 8K projector, 150” 16:9; Marantz Cinema 30, JBL Synthesis 7.2.4 speaker set up with two HSU VTN TF1 600W subwoofers. It is amazing. Total spent $50,000 on equipment, custom carpentry, paint, new carpet, and new chairs (September). Still missing a couple speakers due to JBL Backorder.

Highly recommend the JVC DLA-RS3200 / NZ800. You should be able to find one for just a bit over your budget. Black levels and contrast are amazing.

We splurged on a JVC DLA-RS3200 (same as the NZ800) which currently retails for $19K and a 144” 16:9 Stewart screen which was $3k. Contrast, brightness, and black levels are amazing. For our dedicated theater room it was worth every penny. We watch movies, TV, and play games on Switch and PS5.

Nz800 or 900 but you'll need a light controlled room, preferably black painted or even better velvet covered to get the most out of it

I have an nz8 but it's around 25-30ms input lag at 4k/120.. I casual game on it Retro gaming is fine as well just don't do competitive

JVC NZ800 is your only answer, especially for a 150" screen. If your doing 120" screen you can save more than half by getting the new JVC NZ500 or the NZ700 which are equally comparable to the 800. The only difference is no 3D, and less lumens and 8k e shift. So if you don't need the lumens for the bigger screen, don't care about 3d and the 8k is pointless as no content is 8k, save yourself $$ and get one of the other 2. I have the 500 and the picture is unbelievable.

You definitely want to consider the SXRD-based projectors from SONY and the DILA-based projectors from JVC. Having come from a long history of owning SONY projectors, I can say the the JVCs have a much better black level and contrast as well as very good tone-mapping – key to getting the best out of HDR sources with a projector. A JVC NZ8 or RS3200 would be what I am currently using and would recommend in that price range.

I have a JVC NZ 800 and it is awesome. With a smaller, e.g. 120" screen, you can back down on the laser level to reduce fan noise and increase laser life and you can also close down the iris to improve contrast and black levels and still have enough nits for HDR. It is certainly the best projector in that price range.

I have an NZ800 and it is great for all the reasons you state and it also has pretty good tone mapping – critical for viewing 4K HDR material on a projector.
