Definitely the JVC NZ8. Native 4K. Native 120hz input/output. [https://www.jvc.com/usa/projectors/procision/dla-nz8/](https://www.jvc.com/usa/projectors/procision/dla-nz8/) If that's not in budget, then the Valerion models do a really good job with low latency. Many of the BenQ models do a good job as well. From the TK710 to their X3100i or X500i models.

Went with JVC DLA NZ800. Zero regrets. Was focused on chipset and color processing.

NZ800. Currently running this in my theater. More like mid range, can be had for 15k if you contact a dealer directly. https://preview.redd.it/68qpp97w4t6f1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d8d1ae952f1af60271a387cee940fcaed60e7965

Finished my home theater rebuild. Went from a Sony XRD 1080p to a DLA NZ800 8K projector, 150” 16:9; Marantz Cinema 30, JBL Synthesis 7.2.4 speaker set up with two HSU VTN TF1 600W subwoofers. It is amazing. Total spent $50,000 on equipment, custom carpentry, paint, new carpet, and new chairs (September). Still missing a couple speakers due to JBL Backorder.

I purchased a JVC DLA RS3200 (same as JVC NZ800) - that is an 8K projector; It is expensive (and heavy) but an amazing projector. There is a 4k version as well which is materially less expensive. I'd get it in a heartbeat again.

Nz800 or 900 but you'll need a light controlled room, preferably black painted or even better velvet covered to get the most out of it

You definitely want to consider the SXRD-based projectors from SONY and the DILA-based projectors from JVC. Having come from a long history of owning SONY projectors, I can say the the JVCs have a much better black level and contrast as well as very good tone-mapping – key to getting the best out of HDR sources with a projector. A JVC NZ8 or RS3200 would be what I am currently using and would recommend in that price range.

I have an NZ800 and it is great for all the reasons you state and it also has pretty good tone mapping – critical for viewing 4K HDR material on a projector.

Sweet! Wish I could have swung a NZ800, settled on a NZ500 (RS1200) with a 147” 1.90:1 screen. Also a Cinema 30 like you! Running 7.2.6.

I've had quite a few projectors over the years (Sony and JVC). My current JVC NZ-800 has the best contrast and blacks of any of my previous units
