I have the Sony VPL-XW5000ES, it's still phenomenal! Handles motion perfect and color is perfect out of the box and video processing is #1!

Going with the JVC NZ500 this summer. I have a complete darkened theater room with a 130" 2.35:1 screen. I'll be keeping my old Sony HW40ES for 3D only.
@scotttild
The entry level Sony is still going with the manual lens which makes it an automatic no for a lot of people. I don't understand why they go cheap there. Epson pixel shift is more expensive then the native 4k JVC. It kind of makes it simple.
@Wodz30
@21:00 the Epson is showing brightness in ISO, whereas the JVC and Sony are showing in ANSI. So that is a little trick by Epson since most will not notice that. If you convert the Epson ISO to ANSI, it means the Epson has 2,200 ANSI lumens, which is identical to the Sony.

Thanks Phils. That was information I needed and questions that I had answered. I would also lean Sony in this group with my 16x9 110” screen. The couple extra lumens and 120hz refresh rates I would take over the NZ500. The monkey wrench is price. If the 5100 comes in at around $6,999 I still go with it. If it comes in at $7,999 then I need to see what the NZ700 gives me. Any memory as to how the 5100 measures vs the 5000 in terms of contrast?

Now that projectors can hit just over 100 nits, projectors are a GAMECHANGER
@thewatchmensknowledge4914
Grateful for the knowledge guys, question with the horse power these guys a packing would it be necessary to still pair these with an independent processor?
@stevewright1539
Now that the 5100ES pricing has been released it’s a no go for me. $10k for a projector without a motorized lens and contrast still below JVC is too much for me to justify a purchase. Even $1k less than the NZ700 may have made it more competitive.
@marvinabugov4579
I was all ready to buy a JVC NZ700 until I learned at the cash register that for the NZ500/700, JVC chose a lens that cannot project on a 110 inch screen at a fixed distance of 20 ft. If at 110 inch, the projector must be at 17 ft. (confirmed by JVC Canada). So . . . I chose the Epson QB1000 and had it professionally calibrated. It has a throw distance of 21.5 ft. that solved my throw distance issue. The calibration was done on “natural” that Epson designates for colour. Strongly recommend that you get the QB calibrated. The results / improvement is “stunning”. In addition, you have any additional light output you need at 3300 lumens a brightness level that costs many, many thousands more if you want a Sony or JVC. Fan noise is VERY quiet at 85% and “acceptable” at 95%. The one thing I am noticing is that the Epson “handshakes” between SDR and HDR content. Shows up if you have a streaming services that comes with “ads”. Tour movie might be in HDR but the ads are 1080. As such, the laser light goes “off”when the handshake happens.
@TrekFuture
I have a Sony 325es right now and it is great but am looking to replace it with the Sony 5100 mainly as I want the extra brightness and 120hz for gaming. The Epson looks really enticing but tried the 5050UB awhile back and my wife said the motion bothered her which it never has with the 325es, Sony just always seems to nail motion processing. How is the Epson's motion in comparison to Sonys and is the 2200 lumens enough on the Sony to make HDR pop while gaming?
@rammykiran
Awesome video! I just bought 133 inch screen for a darkened room! Do you think I can go with Nz500?
@Macroproxy
Why is suddenly everyone calling 1920x1080 "2k"? Kscape did marketing BS, now I hear it here. 2K is not FullHD. I'm not sure 2k is anything, but 1080 would be "1k" at best.
@luigy39
The Epson QB1000 is $3,000 more expensive in The US and Canada than in Europe. Why Epson America is trying to hose their (former) customers on this side of the pond, while we fund their pricing in another continent is beyond me. The Epson QB1000 is a SL12000 with more brightness and mediocre DTM.

Is Phil single.
