JVC is pushing the boundaries of home theater technology with its new JVC DLA-NZ700 and DLA-NZ500 projectors, the world’s smallest native 4K models. Designed to provide an exceptional visual experience in a compact format, these projectors combine unrivaled picture quality and cutting-edge innovations. Thanks to BLU-Escent laser technology, they promise to revolutionize home theater.
JVC has announced the release of the new JVC DLA-NZ700 and DLA-NZ500 projectors, the world’s smallest native 4K models, for November 2024. These projectors will be added to the brand’s home theater range, alongside the JVC DLA-NZ900 and JVC DLA-NZ800, which are already available.
A compact revolution for home theater
Designed with an innovative approach, these projectors stand out for their compactness, achieved through a total redesign of the optical unit, lenses and electronics. Equipped with third-generation 4K D-ILA panels (NZ700 only), they provide superior picture quality with improved uniformity and exceptional 4K resolution and contrast, all in an elegant and compact design.
Advanced technology for outstanding images
These new projectors benefit from BLU-Escent technology, a laser light source that can reach brightness levels of up to 2,300 for the DLA-NZ700 and 2,000 for the DLA-NZ500, with an estimated lifespan of 20,000 hours. The second-generation HDR Frame Adapt technology guarantees an optimal reproduction of HDR images with rich colors and high brightness. Both models are also equipped with a Vivid mode for better SDR picture quality, and the FILMMAKER mode, which provides an image that remains true to the creators’ original intentions.
Versatile, durable and eco-friendly
The DLA-NZ700 stands out for its cinema filter, which ensures an accurate reproduction of DCI-P3 colors, offering more subtle shades, while the DLA-NZ500 has similar features at a more affordable price. Their compact, eco-friendly design, which reduces volume and the use of plastic by 35%, facilitates installation while enhancing visual performance. With these new models, JVC is reinforcing its position in the home theater market, providing solutions that offer great performance and value for money, suitable for those who love high definition pictures.
