The DLA-HD250/250Pro features three 0.7-inch 1920×1080 D-ILA devices for a naturally rich, flicker-free picture with true blacks and extraordinary luminance detail. Combined with JVC’s wire-grid optical engine, the new projector provides outstanding native contrast – without a dynamic iris to artificially inflate contrast specifications. Plus, an advanced HQV Reon-VX video processor by Silicon Optix ensures excellent image reproduction with precision I/P conversion and scaling.

Other features include a high-performance 2x motorised zoom lens with auto dust cover, as well as on-screen, customisable gamma control and ultra-quiet 19dB operation. While ideal for use in a dedicated home theatre, the DLA-HD250/250Pro is also suitable for brighter environments, such as great rooms or bar and restaurant installations, thanks to its 1,000 lumens of brightness.

“JVC projectors have been widely acclaimed for their performance, but they’ve remained out of reach for home theatre enthusiasts with a limited budget,” says D-ILA Systems, JVC Professional Products engineering manager Gary Klasmeier.

“With this new projector we bring D-ILA’s image quality and native contrast to an entirely new market segment.”

The DLA-HD250/250Pro will be available later this month and carries a two-year warranty.
