Tried out the JVC glasses I had from my x990. It's quite dark. As soon as I tilt my head to the sides everything becomes nice and bright.

The movie looks amazing. Just wish I had the proper glasses. :(
what glasses are these ?

the ivc brochure for the new N range suggests they support the JVC 3D glasses PK-AG3 which are the RF model

my jvc x7000 according to JVC official info support also the PK-AG3 which is what I am using without issue. these were supported also by the jvc x35 projector I used prior to this.

so I am wondering what the issue as such is ? are you using some other glasses ?

checking the online info on the jvc x990 the brochure list the PK-AG3 as also the 3D glasses supported

Apparently the engineering department didn’t get together with the marketing department and forgot to tell them the polarization has changed on the new models. Bad news is on a screen that maintains polarization you will find the older glasses quite dark. Good news is JVC now uses the same RF glasses that Samsung, Sony, Epson, and Panasonic all use. So if you’re selling your old JVC to upgrade you may as well include your old glasses in the deal and pick up the more common cheaper varieties such as the XPand X105-RF-X1.

Are there any native 4K projectors, that arn't priced out of this world, that have the contrast that can this as well as the X9500?
nope.
 
#5,024 ·
They both have Dynamic Iris, which solely operates in the lens. The difference is that RS2000 also has a lamp iris in front of the lamp whose position is adjusted based on the "manual" setting chosen in the menus.

For me personally 100 lumens comes out in the wash. It is just over 5% light output increase, almost imperceptible on screen.

The big reason to get the RS2000 is the LAMP IRIS which gives higher native contrast, and the ability (reportedly) to hit 100% of DCI P3 with the addition of the colour filter (though that will use a reasonably significant number of lumens).
JVC has said also that the N7 has higher native contrast lamp iris aside from the N5 something to do with the polarization grid on the panel if I remember right. The details are buried in the anticipation thread :(

I guess this will be determined for sure if someone measures N5 and N7 open iris native contrast with same equipment for comparison.

One was measured today by Dylan Seeger.

"Here are some out of the box contrast measurements for my RS2000:

High Lamp, minimum zoom, iris fully open: 29,400, iris @ - 7: 39,563:1, iris @ -15; 62,100:1

High Lamp, max zoom, iris fully open: 23,450:1, iris @-7: 38,550:1, iris @-15: 50,800:1

Maximum dynamic contrast: 176,850:1, this indicates a 6x contrast multiplier."
Was dynamic contrast measured on high lamp or low lamp? I bet all those numbers, including dynamic contrast measures better on low lamp.

sorry are you saying JVC are now using newer glasses ? can you point me to those on the JVC site ? , as I cant see anything bar the PK-AG3 that I am using currently :)

I’m saying JVC has left the old glasses showing for the new models in error. I don’t believe they have newer models of glasses available yet. The XPand glasses(X105-RF-X1) are very similar in style to the old JVC glasses. They are also available for around $40 US.

sound ludicrous to me ... so i someone ordered a JVC with 3D emitter and glasses they will be sold JVC glasses that wont work ? :eek:

They will work but they will be quite dim if your screen maintains polarization. Just as if you turned your head 90 degrees to one side and looked at your screen. If your screen maintained polarization it would get much dimmer. Emitter should still work fine. You will now need glasses with vertical vs horizontal polarization.
 
#5,031 ·
Did I read somewhere that someone bought some longer bolts to connect their SLM281 to the new JVC projector? I don’t see any hardware included with my SLM281. That means either there isn’t any and the bolts come with the projector (which I don’t have yet) - or it did include hardware and my dumbass threw them away.
Yes. I had to buy longer bolts for my 281 mount. The included ones were only grabbing with perhaps 1-2 threads. Not safe. I then looked at the length of the screw of the feet I removed and used that as a guide for the replacement screw length.

There are been lots of speculation over the years as to what might make some panels more contrasty than others, never seen anything definitive or authorative; from them being binned to different process etc.

I don't think even that test proves where all the contrast increase is coming from; even with the lamp iris fully open it is still present and I believe blocking some light scattering. I think the only way you'd know for sure would be to put the entire lamp iris mech and see what was left contrast wise.

My lamp iris can be driven separate from the lens if you are cunning about what formats you play at power down and power off (X7900, I believe this is a bug in the drive logic). That showed me that -10 lamp iris vs fully open is directly responsible for about 15% light output drop and 20% contrast increase vs the fully open position.

Be nice if someone did the tests one day.

Good points. It makes sense that the lamp iris mechanism being in place even with iris set to 0 would have some effect on light scattering that might help contrast. This would also seem to indicate that the RS1000 would have slightly higher lumens. This isn’t the case according to the specks as JVC claims the 2000 is higher in lumens??
Is JVC fudging their specks to differentiate between the models?

At the top end you can gain a bit of light output and hence contrast by selecting panels which have more usable uniform range. On the very old X3 etc projectors you could unlock a few more lumens on some units in the service menu by unlocking panel gamma that had been artificially held back.

What you have to understand is that the entire raw panel response isn't all used in a projector. Some of the panel response is held back to allow for colour uniformity processing to be done, where colour shades across the panels are removed digitally. Even going back as far as the Sanyo PLV Z800 units, they had huge tables mapping out the panel response across different stimulus levels to allow this processing to work well (something like a matrix of 21 x 14 boxes x 8 luminance levels x 3 panels!). Better quality panels are more uniform and then don't need as much headroom keeping in reserve for such corrections, so that top bit of panel response can be used for the extra lumens it contains.

When panel yields are good, you can end up with more capable panels going into the lower end units that just have the top end response restricted.

There is all kinds of fun that goes on. I understand bad pixels are more likely on these units in blue because the panels are all the same (no colour in them) and blue is harder to see, so panels with single defects end up most likely as blue panels in lower end units...

It was very hard to distinguish a stuck blue pixel on a 1080p panel. I'm going to guess on a 4K it will be even harder. You're saying that JVC knows it is using panels with defects and placing them in lower end projectors on the blue light side to mask the defect as much as possible?

It is impossible to know for sure, but I am saying that the only stuck pixels I've found on JVC units (had an X3, X30 and 2x X7900) have been blue, which is an odd coincidence. It stands to reason; throwing them out would be churlish. They don't have any good reason not to use them; their stated position in the manuals is that bad pixels are allowed, and as you observe, even at 1080p they've very hard to find.

No. It depends on your screen and how it holds polarization. I just picked up the current JVC RF glasses and they do not suffer from a dimmer picture when viewed horizontally vs vertically.
 
#5,039 ·
Well, it’s official... the JVC glasses don’t work for me... I need the vertical polarized glasses. When i turn my head 90 degrees, the image is stunning and so bright. The 3D Sin City looks absolutely amazing. The blacks, the contrast and not to mention the amazing depth you get from the 3D format. Time to find new glasses. Anyone have a source for them?
 
#5,040 ·
No. It depends on your screen and how it holds polarization. I just picked up the current JVC RF glasses and they do not suffer from a dimmer picture when viewed horizontally vs vertically.
Correct. If your screen does not maintain polarization there is not much difference. The turning your head to one side or turning the glasses will give you a good idea. My question is if you intend to buy new glasses why would you spend 4 times as much money if you can get the same glasses in quality for much less? If you already own the older JVC glasses and your screen is not maintaining polarization then fine they will work just as good. You could also sell your old glasses and perhaps buy new glasses with the vertical polarization and put money in your pocket;)
