I have this and love it, but I think the newer line (NZ500-NZ900) has lower input lag. Gaming is fine on the NZ7 but improved on the newer units.

Other option could be a JVC NZ7, previous generation. Unlike the newest generation NZ700, they did support 3D, 8K eShift and 4K120. One of my distributor still shows it as available.

4k120 already exists on many models... My jvc nz7 has it. The Sony competitor to that model does too. Both under $10k from an installer.

The Sony is the way to go here. The JVC has great black levels, but the Sony is much more balanced. Both will blow away the Chinese DLPs. True 4K with much better tone mapping, color, contrast, processing, optics, build quality, warranty, and support. If you can swing higher the additional brightness and even better optics of the Bravia 8 will be worth it on a screen of that size.

JVC and Sony are the only native 4K options under $100K. Sony is by far the best for gaming with a sub 12ms input lag and excellent all round performance. The JVC can be better for Blu-ray, especially if you’re hiring a 1st class calibrator. However, I find most prefer the well rounded performance of the Sony. The new Bravia 7 (XW5100) has become my favorite bang for the buck projector.

I tested the JVC NP5 vs NZ7 vs Epson 5050, returned the 5050. Not sure how much better Epson laser is but the JVC's were significantly better to me.

To me yeah definitely. I went from a 5020 => 5050 and didn't see much of an improvement I returned it and tried the NP5 and NZ7 , both seemed significantly better, colors (contrast?) and detail level. Kept the NZ7, missed the return window on the NP5, need to list it on ebay soon lol

Great picture/gaming, but RBE and no lens shift are dealbreakers.

Great value with huge lens shift, but outdated lamp tech and poor HDR.

Superb 4K/120Hz gaming and no RBE, but requires calibration.

Budget king, durable with good image, but RBE can be distracting.

Excellent 1080p contrast and quiet gaming, but low brightness for big screens.
