JVC has launched what they are touting as the industry’s smallest native 4K projectors, the DLA-NZ500 and DLA-NZ700, offering 4K resolution and JVC’s proprietary advanced imaging technology in a new compact design.

With a 35% reduction in size from previous models, JVC has managed to include their most desirable home theater features in a much smaller footprint, allowing for easier installation in confined spaces.

The new DLA-NZ500 and DLA-NZ700 offer a completely redesigned optical unit, lens, and circuit board. With JVC’s third generation 0.69-inch native 4K “D-ILA” devices, both projectors achieve higher resolution and increased brightness.

Additionally, JVC D-ILA projectors offer fully motorized lenses, pixel adjustment, masking, multiple installation styles, and adjustable aspects. With motorized horizontal/vertical lens shift and extensive zoom, it is easier to align the image to the screen regardless of where the projector is mounted. Adding to the flexibility of installation is the redesigned air intake and exhaust setup. This new layout pushes the heat source exhaust at the rear, eliminating the potential impact of the image on the projection screen.

JVCʼs proprietary “BLU-Escent” laser light source technology uses a blue laser diode as its light source.. The DLA-NZ700 achieves a high brightness of 2,300lm, and the DLA-NZ500 at 2,000lm. Both models have a laser life expectancy of approximately 20,000 hours, about 5 ½ times that of the average lamp.

JVC Home Theater Projectors are recognized for their image quality, contrast and deep blacks, and these new models continue this trend. The DLA-NZ700 features 80,000:1 contrast ratio and the DLA-NZ500 has a 40,000:1 ratio. These new models have improved alignment control and pixel flatness, which provides even further realistic darkness with the Deep Black Tone Control feature. In addition, Vivid Picture Mode for SDR content enhances animation. Additional features included HDR, HDR10+ and Filmmaker Mode.

The MSRP for the DLA-NZ700 is $9999 and the MSRP for the DLA-NZ500 is $6499, and they are available through authorized JVC dealers.
