With 1080P/24 support and 50,000:1 Native Contrast Ratio this is simply the best projector available for the price for 2D blu-ray and other 2D HD content. Other projectors, for the most part, use a dynamic iris to achieve their stated contrast ratio, this one does not. A dynamic iris increases overall brightness in light scenes and decreases it in dark scenes leading to a lack of shadow detail in scenes with both light and dark areas and the brightness changes may be noticeably distracting. This projector doesn't use such tricks and therefore can provide awesome detail in dark and light areas at the same time. 3D content looks pretty good but may have some ghosting issues on certain content. If you are looking for a home theater projector for primarily 2D content with occasional 3D you really can't go wrong with this projector.

My upgrade from PT-AE4000U to a DLA-RS45 (DLA-X30)Finally was able to afford a JVC projector, always wanted one for it's acclaimed black level and WOW, the black level and contrast! Like watching a CRT again! It's been a couple years since I gave up the CRT projector and I forgot how much better contrast and black levels could be. Dark movies look so much better, my back lit remote can be blinding ;-DPROS- WOW, the black level and contrast! Wow, first movie I watched, a dark scene there was a lamp in the room, it really looked like the lamp was in my theater ;-D- HDMI Autolipsync appears to work to some degree, even though I was specifically told by a JVC this it was not supported. The projector EDID reports 119ms video delay for (p) and 137ms for (i).- video delay does not vary (much) JVC told me the projector had a 3 frame delay. Not sure what that means with i,24p or 60p,CMD, etc.. I'm guessing the EDID values are an average. The 4000's video delay changed all over the place with different video types and was a MAJOR pain. Using 60P video I did read 110-120ms of delay with CMD off or any mode 1-4, so at least it's mostly the same unlike the 4000 which varies all over the place.- I like the menu system more and GUI tells you the frame rate when you change source.- Quiet, In normal mode, JVC was half as loud to the point that I could not hear it at all in the the room, when in high mode(3D) it was equal in sound level as the Panasonic in normal mode.- Brightness good. Measurement with a cheapo lux meter PT-AE4000U 158lux with new bulb in normal mode. DLA-RS45 130lux normal mode, 182lux in high power mode (3D). So it's a little dimmer in normal use but bright in high mode.CONS- Whoa, the frame creation needs some help! My 2 year old Panasonic really is a lot better. Unlike a lot of people out there I REALLY like frame creation, was waiting for it for years before it came out. Why in the world people think that 24hz is good I have know idea, they came up with that minimal frame rate almost 100 years ago! Mode 3 on the PT-AE4000U was awesome, smooth and artifact free. All the modes on the JVC seem worthless except Mode 3 which is about like mode 1 on the Panasonic. Mode 4 on the JVC looks promising but is covered in artifacts and unusable. There is no excuse for this other than a lack of processing power or BAD algorithms. The projector can do 120hz video, if it would only accept that rate input maybe external frame creation could be done, otherwise will be waiting for a new model...- 3D cool but not that exciting. NO CMD in 3D mode!, some flicker, some ghosting. I never used 3D before so I can't compare, don't think I'll use it much. I got the new PK-AG2's and also a set of the Monstervison/Optoma's. The JVC's were of a higher quality all around, did not require fiddling with settings and produced a slightly better stereo effect, but had a smaller window, slightly yellowed color and it's IR system made all my other remotes flaky when in 3D mode. The Monstervison/Optoma's are 1/2 the price, produce a slight buzz if you listen for it, I had to update the firmware and mess with a PC to get it working best, bigger view and better color, light reflects off your face and easily noticed, not see in the JVC's. Its a very hard call which set to keep.- Warm up period is substantially longer, also no option to remove blanking as it warms up.- a couple GUI glitches like when you switch video modes often the message gets stuck and you have to press the button again, also when you press color space it immediately changes to the next one instead of showing current, unlike other settings...- Made in China, not Japan. Same with the glasses.- bigger had to get a bigger shelf, makes my Panasonic look puny, but I'm use to 180lb projectors so no big deal.- Fixed video delay is great for movies and tv but the 120ms of delay is a lot for gaming and there is no way to make it less.I was excited about 3D but considered it a bonus, and after using a fair amount think less of it..not that exciting.. Also I thought the frame creation would be a least as good, but I was wrong, so as usual still looking for something even better.... I really bought the projector primarily for the black level and contrast, got that, so overall I'm happy.

This projector does not disappoint! Unbelievable color right out of the box. Sharpness is good. Easy to view the screen from any angle. The ability to convert live TV or any signal for that matter to 3D is just wonderful. The 3D on this just pops! the 3D glasses easily go over regular eye glasses as well. The only draw back is with so many adjustments available it can be hard to find the one you need. That said the changes are easily made once found.
