JVC RS45u Its here!!!!

[abjonesiii]

And BO YAY! Just got mine from my local dealer! This is a big step for me. When I first started building my theater I made concessions to be able to afford everything. One of which was skimping a bit on the pj and getting better speakers. Well that was then and this is now when I can afford to finally retire my trusty Optoma HD70 (it was the first 720p to break $1,500.00) And oh my my my. The rs45 is huge. I could put at least 4 of my Optoma's in it.


I will not be able to demo this long because in my house we are firm believers in not getting your gifts before Christmas. But being this was so expensive a quick check to verify that it is not DOA is definitely in order

So for anyone wondering the 2D picture is simply stunning. Even my wife said she thought it was insane to pay so much for a new pj but after seeing the first 10 mins of Transformers she was blown away. Finally confessing that it was worth every dime.


So after a hour of viewing I can say that:
1 I am very pleased
2. The image is crisp and clean
3. Black is superb, Colors are vivid and pop. (out of box, no calibration, Film 1)
My expectations have been exceeded. I am happy with my purchase.

Cheers!

Screen Shots

Alright guys here are a few pictures I took. The only thing I have done to the photos is cropping. I am no photographer and the pix do not do the image justice. Enjoy

How much did you end up paying for it locally? I'm trying to figure out what a fair price is to offer the projector for to others should they ask.

I installed the RS50 last year and it was the best looking projector out of the box which I have ever seen.

Congrats. I'll be very happen when I can move up to a projector and screen setup

Looks good, I'm tempted for the new RS55 but we shall see. I don't need the 3D, but the 4K feature seems very nice. I may jump on something next yr. I still have my RS10 in my theater and have yet to make a move on anything.

Edit: Congrats on your purchase.

If you can swing the 55 go for it! I feel the same way about 3D. The 4K however has me very interested. Hopefully someone near me will grab one so I can take a peak.

RS10 is a fantastic pj. I drooled over those when they first cam out. I don't think you would regret the jump to RS55 but it was more than I could spend. I'm just happy to be in the JVC club.
