The product:
The DLA-X35 is the company's most affordable example ($3,500 list), and even if you ignore screen size, its picture quality also trounces all but the best conventional TVs. Like all good projectors it requires a dark room and a decent screen, but provided those amenities, it's easy to imagine why someone would prefer watching this image over that of any standard-size flat panel, let alone a jumbo LCD.
The JVC exudes seriousness in a way only a projector can. The metallic case is big and heavy enough (17.9x18.5x7 inches WDH, 32.6 pounds) to mean business. The forward-facing vents flanking the large Cyclopean lens are the only items remotely akin to adornment. There are no dials near the lens for focus, zoom, and/or lens shift (everything is remote controlled), and JVC stashed the on-unit buttons on the back panel, near the inputs, between a second pair of vents.
What it offers:
The relatively affordable JVC DLA-X35 produces videophile-grade images with very few compromises.
The advantage:
JVC's DLA-X35 doles out huge, stunning projection images characterized by deep black levels and highly accurate color; excellent value for this level of image quality; extensive picture adjustments and setup options, including power zoom, focus, and lens shift; no-nonsense minimalist design; optional 3D emitter compatible with cheaper third-party glasses.
The unfavorable:
Inaccurate pre-calibration picture settings; doesn't include accessories necessary to watch 3D; inferior to many projectors in brighter environments.
