JVC DLA-SX21
JVC has launched the first consumer D-ILA high definition projector. It had the highest native resolution at 1400 x 1050. If you prefer a widescreen picture, it can run at 1400 x 788 in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has a brightness rating of only 1500 lumens which is a little on the low side, and a contrast ratio of 800:1. With that in mind, this is more of a home or general presentation projector.
The JVC was awesome at displaying video. We felt like we were at the movies. The picture was even, colours appeared just right, and the image was sharp.
However when we were displaying plain text, we could see this projector wouldn’t do too well in a large boardroom in terms of brightness.

Dear Sir,
Just to clarify the review of the XL30U. Contrast ratio is actually 500:1 and the product has a RRP of $8490.
Could we please have this amended.
