In our monthly series on consumer products, we feature some essentials for your very own home theatre system. Compiled by Anirudh Vohra.
PROJECTORS
Whisper-silent operation
Electronics company JVC’s e-Shift system allows a 1,080p projector to display 4K content (having resolution of 4,000 pixels) by physically shifting pixels. The JVC X500R is a member of this third generation of e-Shift projectors. With over a thousand lumens of calibrated light output and super-deep black levels, it can produce deep shadows and sparkling highlights with ease. The e-Shift system removes all pixel structures, creating the smoothest image you’ll ever see on a 1,080p projector. The X500R also includes a fully-powered 2.0:1 zoom lens with lens shift, a lens memory system, frame interpolation and whisper-silent operation.
