JVC DLA-25LTD limited edition projector announced with 8K picture quality
JVC has announced the DLA-25LTD, a limited-edition projector. The device has been launched to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the D-ILA, the Digital Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier. Three 0.69-in (~1.75 cm) D-ILA devices, with a native 4K resolution, are used in the projector. The gadget has 8K/e-shiftX technology, which can deliver an 8K quality picture from a 4K signal; JVC claims it is the first home projector to provide this experience.
The device has a 150,000:1 high contrast ratio and up to 3,000 lumens brightness, thanks to a BLU-Escent laser diode light source, expected to last up to 20,000 hours. You can throw images from 60 to 300-in (~152 to 762 cm) wide. FILMMAKER MODE lets you view the content as the director intended, and the projector supports HDR10+. You can connect to the device via two HDMI ports, which can transfer data at up to 48 Gbps and support 8K @ 60 Hz or 4K @ 120 Hz inputs.
An 18-element 16-group all-glass lens and a full aluminum lens barrel are just two of the high-quality parts used in the projector. The device measures 500 x 234 x 528 mm (~19.7 x 9.2 x 20.8-in) and weighs 25.3 kg (~55.8 lbs). Only 25 units of the JVC DLA-25LTF will be available for customers to purchase, retailing for US$29,999 or £33,000 (~US$36,795). The gadget is expected to launch this December and comes with various gifts; for example, in the UK, the projector comes with a commemorative plaque with a serial number.
