They said that they probably priced it too inexpensively from the beginning. And yes, there are specials for that projector this month, so it's a great time to pick one up.

BTW in my opinion, JVC had the absolute best projector demo at the show. It was the NX9/RS3000 and it was stunning.

So far I haven’t seen any of those things you mentioned on my NX5, so hopefully never will.

I'm with you, I haven't seen any of the above mentioned issues. I hope I never do either. It does make me wonder those who have experienced them if it's some other issue? Bad source, broken cable?

I got other JVC 4K PJs (NX5, NX7) for some other friends a couple of months ago. None of them have any issues either.

So it might be a few very early bad apples during the initial rollout. Hopefully JVC has that all squared away.

I don't remember seeing it on the demos, but they had it sitting on a shelf in the booth.

That’s too bad you didn’t get to see the JVC NZ3 in action.

Laser, 4K-eShift, 3,000 Lumens, and —— excuse me ——— an Infinity:1 Contrast Ratio? :D

Have you installed the update?

I'm always afraid of installing any kind of updates for anything. So I just download the update, but wait for everyone else to install the update first. :D

No, I have not. I read today on AVS where several people have and were generally impressed by the improvements for HDR. I don't have my pj installed yet so I won't install it until then, hopefully at the end of the month.

No firmware updates for the RS540, etc. so I suppose that model year won't be getting any new features at all. I like it just fine the way it is, but that seems like a lost opportunity.

Prices start at $5999 for the RS1000 and go up from there. Of course we have much better pricing than that. :-)

How much cheaper can you find it ?
I guess it’s probably better then going to the cinema haha and better sound .
Expensive but high quality

You need to call the dealers to get street pricing on the pjs. There are several if you look around here and on other A/V sites. I got a B stock RS2000 for less than the retail of the RS1000 and love it (at least the little I saw of it as I'm still building my theater).
As for the bulbs I just bought bare bulbs that are the same as the OEM for less than $100.
As mentioned above, once again, search engines are your friend. As well as looking at some of the good people's signatures here on Audioholics. :D

So you can just get the bare bulbs and install them into the Lamp Housing?

Is it pretty simple?

I might have to do that in the future and save money. :D

Yes, they are available. I'll pm you the place where I ordered them. I have not done one but in reading online it appears it's not too hard to do.

So, I heard that the 790/RS540 has been discontinued officially from JVC in favor of the 1000/2000/3000 series. I really wish JVC had stuck with the 590 as an entry level into LCoS and had put pricing right at $3,000 for it. The jump now is to get their good quality, but weak image, DLP model for $2,500 or to spend $6,000 (MSRP) on a native 4K model. That's such a huge price gap and there's just nothing sitting in there for people to buy from them. It really ups their pricing. I guess they just don't see the demand for more affordable models for the public.

Yeah, I think it sucks that they have gotten rid of a model line that delivered an incredible image for a fair price. But, I have my 590 and I'm not about to upgrade anytime soon.
