AV Forums Reference Status (July 2007)
I have no hesitation to say that at this price point the JVC is THE projector to beat. It offers everything you need for a truly epic cinematic performance and I want one for the Reference Review system. I don’t think I can say any better than that - it is reference status!

TIPA - Best Pro Photo Projector in Europe 2007
The JVC DLA-HD1 is a Full HD (1920x1080) front projector with a native contrast ratio of 15,000:1. The new optical engine dramatically improves the precision of light polarisation, preventing light leakage into the projection lens, thus allowing the closest so far to true black reproduction. The DLA-HD1 offers a 2x zoom lens, a lens shift mechanism, and front fan intake and exhaust for placement flexibility.
Home Cinema Choice - Reference Status (July 2007)
In every way it simply blows the competition away. In fact , to my eyes it delivers the full HD performance that even gives three-chip DLP projectors something to think about, but for a fraction of the cost.
Frankly, if DLP and LCD projectors had knees, they really ought to be knocking right about now.

What Video & HDTV - Best Buy (July 2007)
"The HD1's black level response is extraordinary, delivering immaculate pitch blacks."
"The HD1's images reveal not even a hint of grain, dot crawl, colour break-up, 'screen door' effect, rainbow colour stripes, motion blur or glowing pixels in darker areas of the picture."
"Genuinely revolutionary."
What Hi-Fi - Five Star (July 2007)
"The pictures it produces in 1080P are precise, detailed and beautifully coloured."
Tech Tested - Five Star (July 2007)
"It's rare when we're at a loss to find something negative to say about a shiny new hi-def toy, but today is categorically one of those days. The JVC DLA-HD1 is the best projector we've had the pleasure to test for under £5,000 - hands down."
TrustedReviews - Editors Choice (July 2007)
JVC has arrived on the home cinema scene with one heck of a bang. The HD1 is not just a good projector, or even a great one; it’s actually nothing short of revolutionary for its price point, and gives its DLP and LCD rivals some serious food for thought…
