i assume you're using low lamp also right? You'd definitely want low lamp before high lamp with iris. Also, you can switch to manual iris to turn the brightness down to -8 like you did but then reenable the dynamic iris after and it will keep its brightness but still benefit the low ADL scenes by using the iris when needed to lower the black floor.
Yep, I am on low lamp. I did not realize you could switch the DI back on like you said. So, the manual is not exactly clear on the difference between auto 1 and auto 2, I am not sure what "Places emphasis on the gradation" means, can you help me out?

When it switches to HDR, it automatically switches to high lamp and resets the iris to fully open. I will see if I can override that today.

You can override that. When it switches to HDR and goes into high lamp with iris fully open simply go into the menus and set it up how you want it (low lamp etc). Then next time it switches to HDR it should switch to whatever setting you gave it.

For HDR you may want to leave the iris fully open but kick to low lamp and enable the DI.

The difference between auto1 and auto2 is that one of the modes manipulates gamma more to try to artificially improve contrast. When it clamps the iris down on a dark scene, the whites also get darker. The gamma manipulation will try to bring them back to whiter. I like the effect. Some dont.

Depends, if you want the best contrast and widest gamut colour, and can live with the higher lamp noise and reduced lamp life, you'll get the better image using high lamp and a more closed iris setting. These projectors have a slightly wider gamut for some reason with the lamp on high, and the more closed iris will give you better contrast than low lamp with a wider open iris.

The DI has lots of yellowing and blooming. You just aren't noticing it and using a configuration that doesn't exhibit it as strongly.

Try these images in rec709 and BT2020 or HDR color profiles with the iris set to 0 and the DI on Auto 1 or 2.

https://nicko88.com/misc/pics/jvctest/
My NX7 was one of the initial run distributed in the US (late Jan/19); it is my 6th front projector since 1981, most recently the RS500. The NX7 has operated flawlessly with both DI 1&2 and I've never been aware of the various yellowing/blooming aberrations that have routinely been discussed on this forum.

I've downloaded your static images to a USB drive and would like to check them out for anomalies via the UB820. Are there any instructions you'd like me to follow, other than: "Try these images in rec709 and BT2020 or HDR color profiles with the iris set to 0 and the DI on Auto 1 or 2"? I routinely watch Rec709 content with the iris at -8. Am I to set the iris at zero in assessing your SDR Rec709 image?

Please note that I routinely "double tone map" HDR10 content utilizing both the UB820 Optimizer and the NX7 tone mapping function with the BT2020 filter engaged. Thanks!

I think we know the real reason for that. Don’t blame JVC. Blame the guy that lives in the big White House......;)

That’s a real stretch. The price increase could be due to tariffs but do you know that any or all of the components sourced from China have tariffs? Or was the price increase going to happen anyway? Why not increase prices if you know you have the best projector in the market and demand is high? That is capitalism.

I dont remember any projector getting an almost 20% price increase after a year. If its not because of the tariffs, then its JVC capitalizing on the timing. Which is worse.



Or could be dealers pushing for sales 'before the price goes up!!'
 
#15,771 ·
I don’t see an issue with the NX7 going up. The. $10,000 Sony doesn’t offer nearly the same features. Everyone has said the JVCs are a bargain. And they still are.
True. I mean even with a $1000 price increase, what can compete with it? Nothing. Especially with the new DTM FW that is about to get released, the 2000 still seems to me like a no brainer at its price point, especially considering what these JVCs street for and its closest competitor has the sure pricing crap.

I do think this price increase on the 2000 makes the 1000 more attractive though and that model seems to have a more meaningful place in the current line. I would have to think the 1000 will garner a bigger slice of the sales pie this year so to speak.

But yeah, if I was a current 2000 owner, this is fantastic news since the projector has actually increased in value! :eek:
 
#15,773 ·
So they picked the one with the most sales instead of spreading it out evenly across all 3 models. That seems fair and equitable. [emoji23][emoji1787]

My guess is they did not want to raise the price on the entry level model, since entry into JVC LCOS is already high.

And a $1K higher list price doesn't mean the street price will increase that much necessarily. ;)

Agree with that point absolutely but then why not add $1000 to the highest priced model? I understand the economics behind it, they targeted the model that moves the most units because it generates the most profit for them. I do think they made the announcement now so people who were on the fence get off of it to save themselves the $1000. It is their business they have earned the right to run it as they deem necessary.

I really don't want to see my question degenerate into the pluses or minuses of "double tone mapping", but I'm trying to better understand the frame-by-frame tone mapping reported to be in an upcoming firmware update for my NX7. Will it matter (for most accurate tone mapping) if the JVC is presented with an HDR BT2020 video source which has already been tone mapped to MaxCLL of 500 nits by my UB820 versus that same source (but unprocessed) material with (reportedly) a MaxCLL of 10,000 nits & MaxFALL of 3106 nits for a title such as "Mad Max: Fury Road"?

You are better off letting the projector do the tone mapping, if the new firmware works like it should.

JVC might have just absorbed the cost on the higher model. Probably a little more profit on it.

That could be true. They also probably know the customer who has the money to buy an NX9 has the disposable income to buy another flagship model a a year or two from now so why antagonize them by making them pay more today, whereas the lower two models demographic are probably owners who tend to stick with their projector longer so JVC won't be shearing that sheep anytime soon in the near future so might as well make it a tighter cut for the middle lineup owner. Even with the added $1k the NX7 with the DTM firmware update is at a fantastic price point all things being relative. It is more of a selfish reason for me that I would liked to have JVC spread the price increase around because I was hoping to buy the NX7 in the next six months.

The Panasonic players don't do any dynamic tone mapping is my understanding they just look at the meta date and map the entire movie the same. The DTM by the JVC Firmware update will be using the JVC proprietary algorithm to map each scene within the movie giving much better results than the Panasonic player, correct? Thanks in advance for your reply Craig.
