JVC have developed high-definition home cinema projectors for more than 20 years, and are proud to introduce the 4K UHD- and HDR-compatible DLP projector, the LX-NZ3. Equipped with professional technologies such as laser light source BLU-Escent® technology with long life and high brightness, HDR image adjustment functions, and DMD device, all images are projected vividly with high resolution. Even without a full-fledged theatre room, this projector can be enjoyed by anyone in a living space with ambient light.
The LX-NZ3 is a high-performance 4K UHD/HDR home theatre projector with laser light source technology BLU-Escent. Thanks to the BLU-Escent light source, it realises brightness of 3,000 lumens, so there is no need to pull the curtains to darken your room every time. Plus, there is no need to stress about the lamp life as the LX-NZ3 offers 20,000 hours of long life. Furthermore, JVC's original Auto Tone Mapping function automatically adjusts to deliver the optimum HDR image all the time. This projector will enhance your viewing experience to a new level.

The LX-NZ3 adopts a 0.47-inch DMD device and bright DLP projection method to reproduce 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), which is four times full HD resolution. Its bright and colourful impressive 4K UHD reproduction can let you feel the presence and depth in the scenes unfolding on the screen.
In order to make full use of the 4K UHD resolution, the LX-NZ3 features a high-performance zoom lens with 1.6 times zoom ratio. For a typical 100-inch picture size, the projector should be installed between 3 and 4.8 metres from the screen. Refer to the user manual for a more in-depth distance chart to suit a range of different screens.
Projectors without a lens-shift function typically use keystone adjustment to adjust the distorted screen images, however, this can drastically degrade picture quality even with high-resolution panels as adjustments are applied electronically with keystone. This is not a problem with the LX-NZ3, since it features a wide lens shift: ±60 % vertically and ±23 % horizontally.
The LX-NZ3 proves that size doesn't matter. Just 40 cm wide, 34 cm deep, and weighing only 6.3 kilograms, this space-saving 4K DLP projector can be installed where it is most convenient, hanging from the ceiling or placed on a shelf.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a technology designed to accurately reproduce realistic, dynamic images in which finer gradations and colours are clearly visible, even in the lightest and darkest areas of the picture. In addition to UHD BD and HDR10 content technology applied for streaming, the LX-NZ3 also supports Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) for broadcast signals to deliver images full of reality.
With mechanical apertures, there is some delay when adjusting light output, but JVC’s laser light source can control light output instantaneously, so dynamic brightness adjustment is possible with little or no delay. By controlling the output of the laser according to the brightness of the scene, the LX-NZ3 can reproduce images closer to reality. Moreover, when a complete black signal is input, a contrast ratio of infinity:1 can be achieved by controlling the laser output.
The LX-NZ3 features an original Auto Tone Mapping function that adjusts HDR10 content to optimum images automatically. The function is designed to automatically adjust each content based on the values in the mastering data, such as Max CLL and Max FALL, which indicate the brightness of the HDR content. Image quality is automatically adjusted for optimum viewing of various HDR images with different brightness levels.
HDR content can be projected in brighter, higher resolution and more dynamically. In addition to HDR10, which is found on Ultra HD Blu-ray™ discs, the projector also supports HLG (hybrid log-gamma) signal, a technology used widely in broadcasting. Moreover, the projector switches to the optimum picture mode by detecting the input signal so there are no more tedious settings changes necessary to enjoy HDR content or broadcast signal.
The LX-NZ3 is compatible with full-spec 4K input at 18Gbps bandwidth – supporting 4K/60p 4:4:4/36bit, 4K/60p 4:2:2/36bit, and 4K/24p 4:4:4/36bit signals – for more vivid colours and subtle gradations. What’s more, HDCP2.2 compatibility means that this projector supports the latest video-streaming services and copyright-protected content such as UHD Blu-ray discs
Maybe you always thought you needed a theatre room to watch projected images? Not anymore. The LX-NZ3, equipped with BLU-Escent laser light source, achieves a highly bright luminosity of 3,000 lumens to enable high-quality projection without fuss even in an ambient light environment where the lights can’t be turned off or blocked completely.
Normally, with projectors having a lamp as the light source, there is a limitation for lamp life and requires periodical replacement and maintenance. The LX-NZ3 features a laser diode light source called BLU-Escent, with a longevity of 20,000 hours, allowing viewers to enjoy cinema viewing and forget about operation life.
