**NEW** Sony 715es VS JVC rs2000 / NX7 Comparison: Which is BEST!? 

THIS is side-by-side comparison! Thanks for doing that!

I bought the Sony 715, and I'm really happy ! Also the JVC is more noisy...But the level of black is better. When you do the side by side comparison , your eyes are more attracted by the SONY.

The Sony to me had a little more pop but at times the colors looked a little oversaturated. I’m sure they’re both excellent projectors but $1000 is a $1000 that you can put in your pocket and that could be the deciding factor

Absolutely great comparison. They are very very close. I have had nx7 for a little over 2 years now and I ❤️ it. The only little thing with nx7 is annoying me is when you switch the memory setting, you have to press back or menu to remove the pop up window.

I really appreciate you NOT telling us which was which at the start to eliminate bias. It could be the camera being used, but I did not see any issues with blacks and HDR on the Sony and the colours were much more vivid, pushing a bit too saturated on some scenes (like Mad Max). The underwater scene in The Meg was a hands down winner for the JVC.

Excellent video. One thing I noticed that was not commented on- the Sony seemed to crush blacks and lose shadow detail. On the same scene I could see all of the details in the dark areas with the JVC. Also in the extreme HDR scenes on the Sony the detail was lost in the bright areas. From what I see I agree Sony has more detail with processing but the HDR/black level/shadow detail goes to JVC. I’d be happy either way.

Thanks a lot! JVC is not available where I live, and I was worried that Sony won't provide me the same sharpness and contrast. I think your comparison made me change my mind.

For me black level is far too important so JVC all day for me. I have an oled tv, tablet and phone so I really care about contrast and colour accuracy.

I thought JVC DLA-N7 was way better than Sony 715 until I saw the difference personally at one showroom, JVC looked soft and not that bright compared to Sony. Black levels might be slightly better, but overall Sony was better visually. JVC might be the winner if we compare against Sony 695es but Sony 715es looks better for me

Thank for doing this. That X1 processor is a game changer. Can you do this same test for the Sony VPL VW 325es and JVC DLA NX5? I would like to see how those projectors rate against each other.

Thanks. Wish there were more side-by-side comparisons like this! Have you compared the RS1000 vs RS2000 ? 🙏

Thank you for the informative review. Epson 6040UB owner here. I too found the Sony (left) to be more sharp than JVC... however, I very much prefer the color science on JVC. Wish I could have the best of both worlds. :/

Sony clips some specular highlights to preserve overall detail. The X1 Processor is outstanding. I've owned my 715 since December and I'm projecting on a 16:9 screen. The black bars could be a shade or 2 darker. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.

This was great.. Is there any way to get a comparison between the NX5 and the 325es? Really want to know if the extra 500 dollars worth it.

Let’s do this thang!!!

This is a great comparison video. The Sony looks to have better shadow detail but the JVC is brighter and has sharper detail in dark scenes.

It's ashamed that they were not calibrated. As is the Sony does it for me. The Sony is razor sharp. The skin tone colour accuracy is one of the hardest to get right. Just reminds me of the past glorious NEC 9" high end CRT projectors (which had the best skin tones). The 9.5 Gen Pioneer Kuro also had the best skin tones that i have seen on a flat panel. The eyes can tell, just have a look at the eyes....

Good video👍chris on the jvc nx7 do really have to have a drak room for it. I live on a apartment with white walls is that going to affect my movies. Should i go for the epson 6050ub?

One question, since JVC is better in everything else except detail, can't we just tweak the settings for more sharpness/details? I'm quite familiar with the EPSON 6050 option where you can razor sharp your image with the cost of grain/noise. So my questions is, is JVC tweakable to produce the same details as the SONY?

I know I would pay a little more but, if I purchased the nx9/rs3000 would I get the best of both worlds. The sharpness of the 715 and the blacks of the jvc

If one has the advantage on sharpness and the other on black levels/contrast, etc., why not comment on support, warranties, etc. A lot of people may be considering buying on the gently used market and the warrant may or may not be transferrable. I think Sony's warranty is transferrable and JVC is not. To me, that gives the nod a little bit to Sony with everything else being equal or tied. Thoughts?

if you had time it would have been good to see a comparison after they had both been calibrated. Great Videos as always.

Cool stuff. Nice beard Chris!

I can’t decide between the Sony 715 and the JVC NX7. I love deep blacks but the images just seemed more crisp on the Sony in this vid. Honestly, which one does HDR better? Y’all were talking about it during the video but didn’t specify. I have an Epson 6050UB currently, but I need that HDR at 4K60 which my projector doesn’t support.

Chris, I have a 5040ub. Would it be worth upgrading to the NX5? It would be going in a dedicated media room. And thanks for all the great content.

SONY 715ES is looking really good in this comparison - I was wondering what the JVC NX9 would look like in order to justify the price differences. Thanks

If you use one of the panasonic 4k players it has HDR mapping and will fix any HDR issues with the Sony 714es....BAM!

Thank you so much for this video ! Maybe you can do a video with jvc n7 and sony 915es and I tell you that was the challenge with the almost the same tag price here in eu . In the other hand comparing 915es with nx9 is not fair ! The lens block and the shift 8k is in other league .

I really like these videos. Thank you.

JVC comes ahead in HDR thanks to the tone mapping which I really like. What about SDR ? If I want mainly good motion and sharpness, should i go with Sony instead ? Just can't decide between these two.

What are the smoothing and enhance settings for this comparison on the JVC? 🤔😉

Wonderful video..!!! Thank you..!! Having both projectors at the same time was great...!!!

Saw so many reviews suggesting jvc n7, but side by side comparison makes Sony winner

Finally, someone has the guts to do it. In all fairness. They are both great projectors. You can't go wrong with either one. JVC is a better value being $1000 less but Sony has has the name

I’m trying to decide between the 715/Nx7 or stepping up to the 915/NX9 right now. Would love to see the 915/NX9 compare and then thoughts on how they compare to the lower models. Torn on spending so much more money but I want sharpness AND great black levels / HDR.

Interesting comparison. The colors and detail on the Sony really popped. This was a lot closer than I thought, I was expecting the JVC to blow Sony out of the water.

Thanks for work and video please always say left or right in your commentary so much of your opinions I have no idea which you're talking about. Thanks

As always, it’s up to the user and what he/she values more in a projector…..DTM, better HDR? and better blacks or more detail and what seemed, imo, better color saturation?

JVC has frame adapt tone mapping, a plus in HDR. Better blacks .

Dilemma!! The JVC is designed to be compatible with the best blu ray player - Panasonic 9000. The JVC requires a plug-in emitter for 3D, the Sony is built in. The Sony is more expensive but in the UK is often discounted as ‘ex-demo’, whereas the JVC is typically sold to order and not discounted. I could buy a 4K Professional FS5 Sony camcorder for the price of the projector….that cannot be right.

Sony detail is way better.

Next 915es vs nx9 👍

good job dude. sony for me now

Oh boy!!! This is going to be good.

Color shades and detail sony easily wins but black level and shadow detail is much stronger on the jvc. I’d be torn lol

Love u Chris!

IMO the Sony looks like a (very nice) big TV, the JVC looks like cinema

Do you guys ever have issues with projectors (in my case the Epson 4010) tripping an AFCI breaker sporadically? If so, any solutions?

In every scene there are huge color differences, suggesting that the projectors were not properly calibrated for either rec 709 or bt2020. After calibration both should display the same colors. The differences are there to be seen but not in color accuracy at last not in rec 709. Also at 3:00 what Sony does is just oversharpening the image by defoult, as we can see a lot of artefacts caused by this. You can achive this on JVC too if that is what you want to see but in my oppinion it makes the image worse, not better. You can get rid of the grain on both projectors if you tweek the settings but at the expense of loosing a bit detail. In my oppinon the Sony needs a calibration , it can't be used out of the box since colors are completely wrong, with red all over the place. In most scenes it looks almost cartoonish.

Seem like the Sony had a reddish look to it that can easily be calibrated out. But I would've love to see you guys add Lumagen to both since you guys are Lumagen dealers.. .Please give is more.

Sony hands down

Great video sir,

Hello how are you my friend

absolutely 715es is much better than n7

Nice informative video

I liked the blues on the JVC, I liked the reds and the sharpness on the Sony, I like my $4000 price tag on my Epson 6050. I don't think either of these is a $5000-$6000 improvement. If tone mapping is important to you for HDR, could get a Lumagen and still be ahead of the game in all but sharpness.

Excelente comparación de proyectores que estoy viendo para comprar!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!

Great video

sony looks more vibrant.

I don’t want a projector to look like a tv. I want a projector to look like a projector. I don’t go to the movies to watch tv. JVC all the way

Nice comparison. The Sony looks over sharpened and the JVC looks more natural. Both projectors look fantastic though. JVC all the way for the better blacks and more natural looking image.

Prefer the JVC filmic look and blacks/ tone mapping

Will take the new 325ES over both of them for half the price.

Sony is sharper but that doesn’t make for a more accurate image.

715es is $1k less now than NX7.

My only concern is they are projectors. That means you're only getting HDR. Dolby Vision is in a whole Otherworld.

JVC is way better! Sony is great just not on the same level, who wants to constantly adjust the picture. JVC makes it easy , set and forget perfect every time .

I prefer the one on t right t jvc

NX9 vs 915

The JVC is a much better projector. Much better. Not even close. It would be a disservice to all of our viewers to suggest otherwise.

"no stock in any of these companies" you work for a company that is a dealer for JVC. If you were a dealer for both JVC and Sony this might make the video a little more unbiased.
