JVC Drops Price of Laser Projector, Rolls Out Free HDR Upgrades for D-ILA Models
Feeling the pinch of ever-increasing TV screen sizes, JVC today announced that it
has reduced the price of its DLA-NZ7/RS2100 laser projectors in an effort to
make its BLU-Escent laser projection and proprietary 8K/e-shift technologies
available to a wider audience. The new price for both models is $9,000.
The company also announced plans to roll out a free firmware update for its
current line of D-ILA projectors. Slated for release in in mid-November,
the update will include the second generation of JVC’s Frame Adapt HDR
tone-mapping technology, which analyzes the peak brightness of HDR10 content
for each scene or frame and uses a unique algorithm to adjust and optimize
dynamic range for improved picture quality and a “more three-dimensional appearance.”
The update will also increase light-source adjustment from three steps to
100 steps for projectors equipped with JVC's BLU-Escent laser to enable more
precise light control; this update, which also makes it possible to back up all
stored settings on a USB flash drive, applies to the
DLA-NZ9/RS4100, DLA-NZ8/RS3100, and DLA-NZ7/RS2100 models.
