Anyone in the Northern California / Reno or Tahoe Nevada area that would like to see the RS600 in person, I'll be opening my home theater for demos, as soon as I get mine ! PM me.
You might revise this - the top model in the US is the RS600 ( not 700 ) - http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/category.jsp?productId=PRO6.1 Anyone in the Northern California / Reno or Tahoe Nevada area that would like to see the RS600 in person, I'll be opening my home theater for demos, as soon as I get mine !

Are there calibration pros who specialize in JVC projectors or projectors generally? Wasn't sure if panel (plasma, etc) calibration skills carried over to projectors.
Chad B is very well versed in all displays including projectors and actually owns a JVC. I highly recommend him - he did a great job on my RS4810 and his rates are reasonable.
Initially I was thinking I'd likely hold onto my RS57 for another year, but the RS500/600 brightness increase while maintaing the same contrast, along with the UHD compatibility, is too enticing to resist.
Then I was convinced I'd be getting the RS500 until Mike told me the preorder prices. At less than the list price of the RS500, I just couldn't resist the 600.
JVC is like the Borg this year... "Resistance is futile"
Is the option to "disable" the dymanic iris equivalent to clamping all the way down? I'm hoping for adequate brightness at max long throw using lens memory onto 2.35 120" diag ST-100 (in a black hole).
No. You can choose to have the dynamic iris set to off, while also choosing to manually set the iris to whatever position you need to achieve your brightness.
Ok. Well, that's nice. I'm not sure what ftl will be possible with the iris clamped down all the way. Hoping it will be plenty in my proposed set-up.
I do also wonder if e-shift4 will appeal to more of those using lens memory for 2.35? Will pros outweigh the cons by a large margin? It would be nice to find that the extra pixel density impresses.
Guess I'm an ol' timer then. The threads would be started by the first to get it..including unboxing pictures....
It was nice to get the honor and start the thread.
Thanks for the PM's. I can't reply to them individually cause I don't have 15 posts yet... I think I'm going to pull the trigger! Are there any differences between the DLA-X950R and the DLA-RS600 other then the color of the ring?
I've noticed that most projectors are ceiling mounted (or otherwise high). Makes sense considering that the seating is in front of the screen. That said, I wondered why this JVC RS line (and Sony, Epson too?) project the image straight out of the lens to the middle of the screen if image shifting isn't engaged. Would that deliver the best image?
A set up that avoids image shift would necessitate a sunken seating area or perhaps very high ceiling (12' or more?). My first projector effort will be more typical though, so I'll mount high and image shift down. What happens to image quality? Does this concern any of you?
The white JVC is certainly not aimed at an enthusiast market. I presume the only real reason to offer a white projector is to better match white or bright decor in which it would be placed - basically the worst scenario for using a projector in the first place!
I see your point about the white. Unfortunately, here in Hawaii construction costs $350-$400 per square foot so a multimedia room makes more sense for me... I wish I could have a dedicated bat cave!
My room will hopefully look something like this, so a white projector would blend in more.
Though I wonder about the claimed specs. Would the higher brightness spec (over the 500) be due to selection of tighter tolerance grids/polarizers or whatever?
What I wonder is if the added 100 lumens brightness advertised will ever be met. (And it would be great if Cine4home or someone could try to confirm such claims).
Mike, Any more word about the JVC autocal allowing various meters, e.g. the Display3?
