Any DLP under 100K as of right now will be an E-shift type of device.
Boo hiss. Figured but wanted to confirm as $13k isn't exactly cheap though in fairness I've not kept up with pricing for these wobulating 4K DLPs.
Casio costs about $1000 less than the BenQ.
I remember when that seemed impossible for anything approaching reasonably priced!
That depends on the chassis and how insulated it is for noise, so it will vary from projector to projector.
TI issued a firmware update in August 2017 that enabled native 24p (48hz @ 2:2) and native 50hz for all DLP 4k projectors. All new models should have this update. All older models can be updated via USB, but it is up to the manufacturers if they wish to do so.
What they released were guidelines and software to add support for such features. But the manufacturers still need to code it out and implement a firmware update if they choose to add support for it. Such an update is not guaranteed. Your post makes it seem as if BenQ, Optoma and others simply have to provide a download link to what TI released last month. That is not the case.
Have you seen or read anywhere how the MCLA projectors compare in RBE vs a lamp 6x RGBRGB color wheel? The marketing diagram makes it difficult to discern what colors are being flashed each cycle and how fast.
Nope, personally I am not very sensitive to RBE.
I have now come to realize that high resolution, wide color gamut and lumens, lumens, lumens are what makes HDR truly sing!!! Of course great contrast too would be icing on the cake, but that's tough to do with DLP light cannons. I have a Sony VW885ES coming soon so it'll be interesting to compare them. I can't imagine the Sony being $18K better, but I'm sure even with the talk about it's not so great contrast, it still will beat the LK970 natively on/off. I gotta tell you though, even in the night scenes in GB at the end, I didn't feel lacking in the blacks and shadow detail dept at all!Thanks for the information Dave.I got a BenQ LK970 5,000 lumen laser XPR DLP here the other day and after a couple days fiddling with it using an Oppo 203 with its HDR to SDR tone mapping, all I can say is that it is the best I have ever seen Ghostbusters 2016 and especially Planet Earth II look, non-optimal native contrast notwithstanding! Simply phenomenal!!!I have now come to realize that high resolution, wide color gamut and lumens, lumens, lumens are what makes HDR truly sing!!!

Dave, are you going to look at any other 4k Blu-ray movies?I got a BenQ LK970 5,000 lumen laser XPR DLP here the other day and after a couple days fiddling with it using an Oppo 203 with its HDR to SDR tone mapping, all I can say is that it is the best I have ever seen Ghostbusters 2016 and especially Planet Earth II look, non-optimal native contrast notwithstanding!

Will this projector do DCI color space or does it just do Rec709 with HDR? Most of these DLP's seem to only do Rec709, but if this actually does CI color space, it makes it an interesting option for HDR. How is it's dimming system, very noticable?I got a BenQ LK970 5,000 lumen laser XPR DLP here the other day and after a couple days fiddling with it using an Oppo 203 with its HDR to SDR tone mapping, all I can say is that it is the best I have ever seen Ghostbusters 2016 and especially Planet Earth II look, non-optimal native contrast notwithstanding!
