Much like most of the other important names involved on the A/V products' market, the people over at JVC have also released over the past few years several projectors, including here a professional, high-end model designed especially for large venues. The DLA-QX1G, released back in the first half of 2002, is a device that represented quite a major breakthrough in projection technology at the time of its launch and still manages to impress these days.



The device is one of the first 3 D-ILA devices (1.3 Inches Diagonal) ever launched and is capable of providing a resolution of up to 2048 x 1536 pixels. Moreover, it offers a 4:3 aspect ratio, but, unfortunately, the contrast ratio is not exactly fantastic, namely just around 1000:1. The number of colors is pretty impressive, thought, namely 10 Bits/Color RGB (approx. 1 billion colors).



The device has also been equipped with a 1.5:1 fixed lens (adjustable H and V offset), which offers a zoom level of 2.1-4.8:1. Moreover, it allows users to chooses from the 3 available color temperature settings, while the gamma levels are also adjustable (3 settings, 12-Bit processing).



The connectivity options provided by JVC's DLA-QX1G are also quite OK, since the device has been equipped with 3 input module slots, which can house VGA, HD-SDI and HDTV-compatible interfaces. Furthermore, the projector supports quite a wide range of HD resolutions, namely 720P, 1080/24P/24sf/30P, 1080/60i.



Although it's quite old, this monster of a professional projector is still extremely expensive, retailing for around 225,000 US dollars, which means that it will most likely be purchased by institutions for public presentation purposes.
