JVC DLA-NP5

The DLA-NP5 is JVC’s most affordable D-ILA projector for 2022 – and with the company’s cheapest laser D-ILA models setting you back well into five figures, we have a funny feeling that interest in the lamp-based NP5, with its native 4K resolution, could be seriously high.

By using a lamp rather than lasers, JVC is able to sell the NP5 for £7499. This compares with £11,499 for the step-up, laser-toting DLA-NZ7. Sony’s upcoming XW5000, which will offer a native 4K resolution and laser projection for just £5999, looks set to give the NP5 some stiff competition. But if the NP5 can maintain the sort of contrast for which JVC’s D-ILA technology is legendary, it could well still feel worth the extra.
