New Sony High end model , Low end Sony HW10 (or another name in US) confirmed by BrainSurgeon
JVC RS3 (preview)

Mitsubishi HC7000/6500/5500 - Information http://global.mitsubishielectric.com...or.html#hc6500

If you have other model please add in

[Brain Sturgeon]

The low end Sony has already been announced in HK:



It's the HW10, which appears to be a cheaper VW40. I've also heard that there will be a new high end Sony at the show.

Marantz will also probably have a new projector to show (I'm guessing the 15s2).

I think I saw that last month here. The demo used constant height screen but the material was not up to par. Sadly they didn't have specs sheet.

you guys are a bit late with CEDIA, IFA berlin is on now and many projectors are already announced.

Sony should have VW70 as well at either show, no show at IFA so far.

Ooo, fancy! The Cinemascope function is exactly like what Deci suggested but Panasonic made it elegant. The annoying thing is the flash video; it doesn't have any indication that you've fully downloaded the video.

I like Panasonic's new PJ very much!

MSRP on the VPL-HW10 is $3499.99, $500 more then the VPL-VW40 was.

Some shots of Sony's HW10 from CEDIA:

The talk of the show seemed to be the new JVC RS20/HD750 and RS10/HD350.

The RS20 seems to be a brighter RS2 (30000:1 native sequential contrast, 800 lumens) with an adjustable iris. I'd love to see what the maxed out sequential contrast (iris @ minimal setting) and lumens at this setting on this unit. It also apparently has a full CMS, which is a HUGE addition as one of the main complaints of the RS1/RS2 was the oversaturated colors (particularly green).

This thing sounds like a real winner. I may have to demo this in my theater.

Some details:

DLA-HD750 and DLA-HD350
New JVC DILA Projectors Break New Ground in Colour and Sharpness

"True Black" Premium D-ILA Home Theatre Front Projectors
with Bright Images and Deep True Black Levels, Ease of Use and Flexible Adjustment

JVC (Victor Company of Japan, Ltd..), A leading innovator in award wining projection technology, proudly introduces
new Full High-definition D-ILA Home Theatre Projectors that break new ground in colour accuracy and sharpness,
ease of use and flexible adjustment. The new JVC projectors give the enthusiast or home user brighter more intense
images with the choice of the industry's highest native contrast ratio without auto iris.1
With the new high end model DLA-HD750 and superbly functional DLA-HD350, JVC expands its True Black ILA
projector line up, joining the current DLA-HD100 and HD1, introduced In February and November 2007, which broke
new ground with their signature, industry highest2 native contrast ratio of 15000:1 or 30000:1, and earned a
well-deserved reputation and awards from the front projection community for top performance.
Complementing these excellent products, the new models also feature enhanced 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices
and optical engine that attain ultra-high native contrast ratios for the super-smooth images and reference grade deep, true
black levels without a trace of grey.

* 1 As of 28 August, 2008. DLA-HD750 achieved native contrast ratio 30000:1 as home theatre projector. (JVC Internal Survey)
* 2 As of November 2006 DLA-HD1 achieved native contrast ratio of 15000:1 and September, 2007 DLA-HD100 achieved
native contrast ratio 30000:1 as home theatre projectors. (JVC Internal Survey)

The projectors comply with HDMI ver. 1.3 (Deep Color / CEC) specifications, which provide for billions of colours
and reproduce subtle shades of grey, and CEC compatibility for system control. Phenomenal depth of picture detail,
thanks to Full HD 1080p resolution, and sensational native contrast ratios ensure exceptional vividness and accuracy
of colour, enabling the viewer to enjoy velvety images that promise an absolutely bright and brilliant cinematic
experience in the comfort of one's living room and home theatre.

New Performance Features

1. Once again, the industry's highest native contrast ratio of 30000:1
JVC's proprietary 0.7-inch full HD D-ILA devices and wire-grid optical engine once again deliver the industry's highest
native contrast ratio, which means that an auto iris is not being used, of 30000:1 * on the DLA-HD750 model.
* Native contrast ratio of 15000:1 for the DLA-HD350.

2. D-ILA device and engine
Originally developed by JVC, D-ILA technology employs three (RGB) devices for a naturally
rich, flicker-free picture even when there is rapid movement in the image. Along with the
device is optical engine with wire grid polarizer that ensure precise light polarisation without
light leakage for true black level reproduction. Together, the D-ILA device and engine
guarantee a smooth picture with vivid colours and high contrast.

3. High-performance 2x zoom lens motorised
The new high-performance 2x zoom lens with motorised focus features a large diameter, all-glass lens system with 16
elements in 17 groups that includes an ED lens to project a full HD image with exceptional depth.

4. Advanced video processor
Both projectors incorporate the HQV Reon-VX video processor developed
by Silicon Optix to ensure excellent image reproduction with precision I / P
conversion and scaling.

5. Excellent colour rendition
The DLA-HD750 features Color Management that interpolate colours individually by R, G, B,
C, Y, or M, in three separate axes of colour phase, chrome saturation, and brightness. Up to
three customised colour settings can be stored for future use.

6. Customised on-screen gamma control
Manual adjustment of gamma curve is possible through an on-screen display, allowing the viewer to
adjust projector luminance levels by either increasing contrast in scenes that are too dark or dimming
washed-out scenes to ensure precise brightness levels suited to individual preferences. Up to three
settings can be adjusted and stored for future use.

7. Flexible set-up
Setting up is easy too as the ± 80% vertical and ± 34% horizontal electric lens shift function allows the
projected picture to be moved horizontally or vertically effortlessly through the remote control. And, when
positioning the projector outside of the lens shift coverage area, the Digital Keystone Correction
helps to make distorted images look more natural.

8. Convenient, Stylish and High performance

-- Remote Screen / Anamorphic lens trigger
For additional convenience, the external trigger can be used to conveniently raise and lower the screen or
automatically draw curtains while turning on the projector, or linked to engaging V-Stretch Mode to move an
optional anamorphic wide screen lens system into place.

-- Auto lens cover
The slide automatic lens cover that opens and closes with power
on / off to protect against dust.

-- New design and body colours
Sporting a stylish yet functional design, the DLA-HD750 is available in black pearl finish and the DLA-HD350
in either glossy piano-black or white glossy finish.

-- Compatibility with HDMI ver. 1.3 (Deep Colour) and CEC Control
The projector's two HDMI inputs comply with version 1.3 specifications, allowing users to take full advantage of the
higher 225 MHz bandwidth. CEC compatibility aids in system control.

Some pics of the new JVC's-- compact, simple, and elegant. I don't know if I like the ports on the side though-- I prefer them on the back.

Just about to put the HD750 on order.

The new improvments are great ie, no bright corner problems, large boost in lumens, quieter operation, and the biggy, full colour managment system.
Oh and better contrast which is always nice.
