Testurteil: "4.5/5"
Test: Einzeltest: JVC DLA-X30
Zitat: The JVC DLA-X30 is a stunning high-contrast projector that offers excellent 2D performance. When viewing high-definition film and video from a high-quality source, the X30 produces a bright, sparkling image with the best black level available this year, bar none. Color is accurate and life-like and detail is crisp and clear. There are some artifacts to be found in the frame interpolation system, but the core performance is there. If you´re looking for a great 2D projector with strong black performance, the X30 is a great choice. The projector does have some flaws, though. 3D flicker lessens smoothness in the 3D image. And the projector´s high 2D light output never translates to 3D, leaving viewers with either a small image or a dull one. If you are looking for a new projector and intend to do a lot of 3D viewing, there are several models out there that have cleaner 3D performance than the X30.
In general, this year we have found that the performance of 1080p home theater projectors is rapidly converging on the ideal. Almost all home theater projectors now produce enough light that living room use is a serious secondary application. Contrast is rapidly approaching infinity. Color, with very few exceptions, can be calibrated to a perfect reproduction of the Rec 709 standard, with smooth 6500K grayscale across the board. Frame interpolation systems are more mature and less quirky than they used to be. Even 3D systems are maturing, and now it is odd to see a bad performance from one of these projectors.
In 2D, the X30 is neck-and-neck with this year´s crop, and bears striking similarities to the Panasonic AE7000 and Epson 5010 in particular. All three offer detailed, striking images with great black performance, though the X30 edges out the competition in the darkest of scenes. If we were evaluating the X30 solely on its 2D performance, we would give it a higher rating. However, as many people will be buying this projector for its 3D capabilities, its score has been lowered in accordance with its 3D performance. The X30 does command a price premium over its competition, as it sells for $3499 while its competitors sell for $2999 and below. But for those who value the deepest, inkiest, most impressive black levels available, the X30 will deliver.
