Projector Upgrade: Epson 5050 to JVC NZ7

Travelers Rest, SC

A client with a beautifully custom-built dedicated theater — complete with a 165" wide (179" diagonal) 2.4:1 scope screen — had been running an Epson 5050 and was curious about upgrading to JVC's flagship D-ILA technology. His main concern: would the NZ7 deliver enough brightness at that screen size? We brought TekScene's personal demo unit, set it up alongside the existing Epson, and let the room do the talking — the JVC measured nearly 4× brighter on his screen. He purchased the demo unit on the spot, and the NZ7 now lives permanently in "Twinseltown."
