The premium mounting option being the Strong micro adjustable mount comes in black and white also.
General Overview
High Brightness and Long life: JVC’s proprietary laser light source technology, Blu-Escent, uses a blue laser diode as the light source. The DLA-NZ700 achieves a high brightness of 2,300lm and the DLA-NZ500 2,000lm. Both models have a laser life expectancy of approximately 20,000 hours.
Deeper Blacks for Richer Gradation: The new Deep Black Tone Control has been added to Frame Adapt HDR, with a new algorithm to further subdue tones in dark areas to achieve more realistic darkness. This function maximizes the dynamic range of the new-generation 4K D-ILA devices and delivers images with more contrast than ever before. Scenes with light and dark shades such as nightscapes can be projected with greater realism
Gen2 Frame Adapt HDR Function for Brighter and More Colorful HDR Images: The Frame Adapt HDR function, which uses a proprietary algorithm to instantaneously analyze the maximum brightness of any HDR10 content per scene or per frame and perform real-time tone mapping to optimal dynamic range for video projection, has evolved into the second generation (Gen2). The algorithm for tone mapping has been fully reexamined to achieve HDR images with higher definition. Furthermore, the proprietary algorithm for tone curve selection has also been improved to reproduce HDR images that are brighter, more colorful and have a wider dynamic range.
Features

Will the JVC DLA-NZ500 fit your room?
Work out the distance from the lens to the screen for a Majestic screen size, or the screen that fits the distance you have, from JVC’s published throw ratio of 1.34 to 2.14 (16:9 picture, 1.6× zoom).
The calculator needs JavaScript. Throw ratio 1.34 to 2.14: multiply the picture width by these numbers for the nearest and farthest lens positions.
How to use the projection calculator
- Drag the sliders (or type the numbers): the distance from the projector’s lens to the screen, the picture size as a diagonal, and the lens setting from no zoom to full zoom. With nothing locked, moving the distance or the size keeps the zoom where it is and the other follows, as a projector does when you move it without touching the lens.
- Lock the distance (the projector is in place) and the picture size slides between the smallest and largest it can make there; lock the picture size (the screen is in place) and the distance slides between the nearest and farthest the projector can go. The zoom slider moves whichever one is free.
- Majestic sizes: pick one from the list, or drag to any size. The words under the drawing give the distances that suit the picture, and the Majestic screens that fit at the distance you have. 16:9 (1.78:1) is the normal HD shape; 21:9 Cinemascope (2.37:1) is the wide shape most Majestic screens are made in, and 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 can be made on request.
- The drawings: the front view shows your screen at that size and, with dashed lines, how far the lens can sit from the centre of the picture thanks to the lens shift, without tilting the projector; the side view shows the throw distance. Tick Ceiling mounted to see it hung from the ceiling; table or ceiling makes no difference to the picture.
- Brightness is worked out from the maker’s rated lumens, the picture area and the fabric’s gain (Evo Ultra 4K White 1.26, Evo Grey 0.9, Acoustic Vision 1.16, Dayfire 0.8). The rating is the projector’s brightest mode, so a calibrated cinema mode is dimmer: treat the figure as the top end. Around 14 to 16 foot-lamberts is the cinema reference for a dark room; a room with some light wants 22 or more.
- Measure from the front of the lens. The maker’s figures carry a little tolerance, so leave some room to move, and check the manual before you build anything in. On a Cinemascope screen the 16:9 picture is zoomed to the screen’s width; its extra height falls on the masking.
