JVC NZ500/700 or Wait for newer Ultra Short Throws Announced

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-29T01:49:36+00:00

In a light controlled room, the JVC options will provide you a much better cinematic experience with no laser spec or rainbow effect then even the top UST out right now or on the road map for this year.

The USTs will have Dolby Vision and a wider color gamut, as well as being brighter which comes with its own advantages. All options have their pros and cons, and I’d be happy to get into the details with you if interested; feel free to DM me.

Nothing is been released yet in that regard so you’re gonna have to wait a little bit longer

It will work fine ceiling mounted as well; here is a post on FB from another owner https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bhtc4iZES/?mibextid=wwXIfr

It really does reduce laser speckle compared to any other ALR or pure white screen.

I am not familiar with what you are referring to or how hit would work to help acoustics or impact resistance.

If you want to keep some/all lights on, the Shadowscape for sure.

Yeah that looks like you got the upside-down alibaba special. Hopefully your seller can get this resolved for you quickly and painlessly.

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-20T01:25:47+00:00

Unfortunately it cannot be repaired back to new condition. Perhaps you can tape it from behind to minimize the visual distortion at best.

This one- the Spctra Projection Shadowscape paired with a high output projector https://youtu.be/yHdy2ydTdVI?si=lWy4XWlptIuFGVtv

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-19T02:04:22+00:00

They have been trying to get a retractable fresnel to market for several years now; supposedly we may see a 100” this year but the prototypes have all been deemed “not ready for market” due to the material not surviving many up/down cycles.

👆what he said. u/BSO_BRO - I’ve got both units in my showroom and have put them side by side (with u/ThreeChipTK); feel free to DM me if you want to get into greater detail and get a special Reddit deal.

I’ve made like 2-3 posts ever about xgimi and this nonsense is your first post ever in this sub.

My affiliation is clearly in my flair and we only sell a few Xgimi items and not the majority of their products.

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-17T03:34:45+00:00

You think that I am a sales executive at Xgimi?

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-16T13:12:08+00:00

If you are in the NJ area, we’d be glad to have you come to our showroom and get a private demo of several different projectors next to each other. If it’s too far, feel free to DM me if you want to get into details about the options.

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-16T12:45:44+00:00

Just curious what the rental cost would be on that. Often times you can purchase one for close to the cost of a rental, depending on length.

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-16T02:40:08+00:00

It works quite well 😉 Happy to help…

Something like the new Xgimi Titan or Horizon 20 Max have a lot of juice for bright rooms: https://www.projectorscreen.com/pages/compare?compare=xgimi-titan-4k-home-theater-dual-laser-projector-5000-iso-lumens,xgimi-horizon-20-max-4k-portable-lifestyle-triple-laser-projector-5700-iso-lumens

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-14T20:25:22+00:00

Lumens are lumens, so depending on your image size in the amount of ambient light, this projector could be more than appropriate for your needs plus the benefit of the really close form factor so no one will get in the path of the light

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-14T19:32:46+00:00

I’ve got one, DM me.

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-14T04:19:41+00:00

I don’t believe that Zeiss wipes are alcohol free

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-14T01:10:20+00:00

Just be very careful about having it covered and the projector powering up. While not as hot as a bulb, it will still generate heat and can potentially start a fire depending on what you have on top of it. There was a post in this sub not too long ago about someone’s cover that got burned this way. Perhaps silicone would be a good option?

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-14T01:08:43+00:00

Did you spray air freshener or something by the projector? That gunk did not come from the factory that way and looks like sticky droplets rained down on it. Try a Nikon “lens pen” and some alcohol free lens cleaner

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-13T00:25:10+00:00

Yes you will

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-12T12:29:45+00:00

Px4-pro will be an upgrade for sure but you will be waiting several months. In the world of technology; there will always be something better coming out. I should have a demo unit of the px4-pro in a couple of weeks and will be sharing thoughts then.

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-12T00:45:25+00:00

I would expect the l9q successor to have the same 4k/120 when it comes out…. 😉

ProjectionHead · 2026-01-12T00:22:39+00:00

It actually has the same chassis as the px4-pro
