JVC was showing off its 4K DLA-RS4000 projector utilizing D-ILA technology, which reps claim delivers a native contrast ratio of 70,000:1 using a 3500 ANSI lumen xenon bulb.
We were shocked to see that they are marketing this product for the home since is weighs 110 pounds and costs $175,000, but perhaps the inclusion of a custom digital video processing unit that serves as a signal switch and processing hub is the reason they claim this. This processor will upscale content to 4K from virtually any video source, including Blu-ray and gaming systems, cable and satellite receivers, and DVD players.
The projector looked great with amazing color and depth from both 1080 and 4K source material. They even showed a stacked pair of projectors running full 4K left-eye right-eye polarized content on a silver screen. Despite some ghosting issues with some of the content, it was clear to see how full 4K 3D projection could create an exceptionally immersive 3D experience.
