About the JVC DLA-NP5R

Upgrade your movies and games
One of the activities I've missed the most being stuck at home the past couple years is going to the movies. There's nothing like seeing films on the big screen. Fortunately, it's possible to re-create that movie theater feel at home with a quality projector setup. And LCoS-based projectors like JVC's 4K D-ILA models are a great choice for their smooth imaging, rich color, and excellent contrast.
Technically, this DLA-NP5R is the entry-level model in this JVC series, but it has no shortage of premium features. In fact, it delivers its sharp native 4K images using the same all-glass lens and D-ILA devices as the more expensive NZ7 model. And the DLA-NP5R's two HDMI 2.1 inputs can support 4K at 120Hz — great for gaming on the big screen.
Superior contrast
JVC's D-ILA projectors are known for their excellent native contrast ratio thanks to the layered imaging chips they use as part of their LCoS — Liquid Crystal on Silicon — system. Three D-ILA chips — one each for red, green, and blue — are specially designed to reduce light scattering to deliver impressive contrast.
Rich detail and color
As a true 4K projector, the DLA-NP5R can display over 8.8 million pixels. It also has HDR support and an auto tone mapping feature that automatically adjusts the projector's settings based on the mastering information included on many HDR10-encoded UHD Blu-ray discs. That means you'll be able to see more detail, even in less-than-optimally-lit scenes.
The DLA-NP5R also supports the dynamic HDR10+ format, so it can adjust picture settings on a scene-by-scene basis with compatible content to display beautiful, accurate images.
Easy to adjust
The DLA-NP5R has a motorized lens so you can adjust the zoom, focus, and lens shift right from your viewing position. A 10-preset installation mode allows you to customize the lens positions and picture settings for different situations so you can recall them easily when needed.
Accessorize it
To get the best picture quality, we recommend using the DLA-NP5R with a 4K-rated projector screen. You should also keep in mind that 'NP5R has no built-in web apps, so you'll need to connect a 4K media streamer or an Ultra HD Blu-ray player to enjoy 4K content.
