Know before you buy
The DLA-X950R uses JVC’s 4K e-shift4 technology to upscale content to 4K precision. While it accepts native 4K 60P signals via its HDMI inputs, the native panel resolution is 1920x1080.
With a 150,000:1 native contrast ratio, this projector excels at producing deep, true blacks and high-detail shadows. This is particularly beneficial for dark, cinematic scenes where standard projectors might appear washed out.
Yes, the DLA-X950R is HDR compatible, allowing it to process high dynamic range content for improved color depth and brightness. This ensures you get the most out of modern 4K Blu-rays and streaming services.
Lens memory allows you to save specific zoom, focus, and shift settings for different aspect ratios. This is ideal if you use a wide 2.35:1 screen and want to switch between widescreen movies and standard 16:9 content without manual adjustments.
Yes, it operates at a very low noise level of 21 dB. This is quiet enough that the fan will be virtually inaudible during normal movie playback, even in a small, acoustically treated room.
