JVC DLA-HD100 Projector Review

The JVC DLA-HD100 is a projector worth getting in the mail, and according to this reviewer; that’s exactly what happened, but in a big box that was the size of a Volkswagen! Well not quite, but it would seem that way due to the weight of the projector. For this reviewer, the projector worked out well and didn’t have issues that would be typical in the projector market, such as using a dynamic iris to boost contrast numbers for deeper black levels. The DLA-HD100 can also work for a ceiling installation in a home theater. According to the reviewer,
“The remote control supplied with the DLA-HD100 is one of the better ones I’ve seen for a front projector. First and foremost it’s completely backlit. Secondly, you get direct access buttons for each of the various inputs. Menu navigation is merely average but nothing was terribly difficult to find. There is a convenient set of test patterns which you can access quickly by hitting “Test” on the remote.”
When connecting a Philips BDP7200 with a BetterCables HDMI cable, the reviewer watched “The Prestige”, and “was absolutely floored by the depth and quality of blacks put forth by the DLA-HD100”, he adds “With a slew of 1080p projectors now available in the $3,000 neighborhood, the DLA-HD100’s $8,000 price tag causes more sticker shock than it would have two years ago.”
