OK, so the JVC DLA-HD1 is no looker – but under that blandly styled exterior lurks a real beast of a performer

1080p Projector Rodeo

JVC, Mitsubishi, and Sony square off. I admit it; I am an unreserved fan of projectors. I've had one as my sole display since my 38-inch RCA CRT blew up four years ago. There is nothing like watching life-size (or larger than life-size) characters on a 110-inch screen. Now, that is engaging. I don't understand why everyone doesn't have a projector. Guests to my gloomy, cavelike abode could probably offer logical rationales. But come on: Look at the size of Adama's head!

Has JVC produced the best home cinema projector ever? John definitely thinks so.

JVC DLA-HD1 D-ILA Projector: On the Bench

$6,300 1920x1080 three-chip D-ILA Key Connections: Dual HDMI inputs, one component inputs, one RS-232 Features We Like: Accepts 1080p/24 and 1080p/60 signals (displays at 60fps in either case), new imaging chips and improved light engine obtain deeper blacks and better contrast without a dynamic iris Features We Miss: Please. If Sony owned CEDIA after introducing the Pearl, JVC's DLA-HD1 was the most talked about PJ coming out of CES 2007.

JVC DLA-HD1 1920x1080 Home Theater Projector

In the past few months we've seen a revolution in the video projection business. A revolution no one expected. The prices of home theater front projectors have been dropping nearly as fast as flat panel displays. Since the September 2006 CEDIA Expo we've seen the introduction of at least six 1080p projectors priced at or below $6,500.

JVC's 1080p DLA-HD1 projector isn't exactly cheap but its specification is impressive -- its technology produces pictures with stunningly deep blacks and astounding levels of contrast
