The new DLA-HX2U projector raises the bar in home
Bring the magic
of Hollywood
into your home.
theatre performance to new heights.Thanks to JVC’s
remarkable 3-chip D-ILA technology,picture quality
has never been more lifelike and colors have never
been more vivid.The patented D-ILA chips deliver
1400 x 788p Native High Definition Resolution and a
high contrast ratio of 1500:1. It all translates into
capturing the incredible feeling and excitement of
the cinema right in your very own home theatre.
JVC’s original D-ILA technology
■ Three D-ILA chips for smooth,
flicker-free high-resolution images
Three reflective 1.1-megapixel WXGA-PLUS 16:9
(1400 x 788) D-ILA chips enable the DLA-HX2U to
produce superior native resolution. JVC’s original
3-chip D-ILA (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier)
technology produces rich, natural colors without the
annoying flicker or “rainbow effect”that plagues
single-panel projectors. Images are as smooth as
film, boasting incredible detail and vibrant,
breathtakingly natural colors.
■ Cinema-quality picture with no visible grid
Unlike transmissive liquid crystal technologies, there
is no visible grid or “screen door effect”with JVC’s
D-ILA.You can enjoy the benefits of both film-like
resolution and accurate reproduction of natural colors.

Superior color reproduction
■ DLA-HD2K color coordinates
High-performance projection
■ Natural color reproduction
JVC’s unique optical engine produces rich,natural
colors with smooth gradations and low noise.With
color temperature set to the D65 standard, source
media can be faithfully reproduced with the same
gradations as the original.As a result, all color
gradations are natural and consistent, ensuring
optimal cinema reproduction.
■ Comparison of gradation characteristics
(accurate colors with absolute white and black)
Conventional projector (bluish white and reddish black)
■ Analog gradation technology
JVC’s exclusive AG (Analog Gradation) technology
produces highly accurate gradations with low noise,
particularly in darker areas of less than 20% brightness.
■ High contrast ratio of 1500:1
High contrast ratio of 1500:1 for full range gray-scale
reproduction enables the display of subtle details in
the blacks and shows the depth to the image even
when the scene is dark.
3-chip superiority
■ Full-color image on the screen
Lower-priced,single-chip models rapidly project
the picture one color at a time and rely on the
viewer’s eye to blend alternating flashes of red,
green, and blue images into desired colors. 3-chip
projectors, on the other hand, simultaneously
produce images on separate RGB panels inside the
projector and then combine the light beams,
projecting a full-color image on the screen.
■ Comparison of color reproduction
■ JVC’s original D.I.S.T.
(Digital Image Scaling Technology)
JVC’s exclusive D.I.S.T. technology consists of IP
conversion, pixel density conversion, and enhancer
technology.D.I.S.T. fully exploits the advantages of
progressive scanning by converting interlace signals
to progressive signals.This increases image
information relative to the number of pixels to
provide smooth, high-definition images.
■ DVI-D plug and play (HDCP)
Enables digital-to-digital input for high-quality
image reproduction without signal degradation.
■ 480i, 480P, 720P, 1080i, 1080/24, 25
and 30PsF, and HDTV format compatibility
In addition to DTV signals, analog signals including
480i, 480P, 720P,1080i,1080/24, 25 and 30PsF,
and HDTV formats can be accepted.
User-friendly design
■ True black reproduction
As the D-ILA’s liquid crystals are aligned vertically,
the pixels are “normally black”when no voltage is
applied.As a result, D-ILA technology reproduces
blacks that are truly black. It also offers a uniform
response, irrespective of brightness, which displays
a wide range of intermediate tones.
■ Three chips project a full-color Image
■ 4-color profile mode
The DLA-HX2U is equipped with a 4-color profile
mode to ensure color reproduction with greater
fidelity to the original. In addition, it supports a
wider variety of colors, enabling it to render image
colors that closely match the original source.

■ More stable image
Three chips produce better,more stable images,
free of flicker and annoying “rainbow effects.”
■ Superior color reproduction
and smoother images
When compared to single-chip models, 3-chip D-ILAs
offer superior color reproduction, better gradation, and
smoother images at a competitive cost.
DLA-HX2U
(accurate colors)
■ Easy installation
Extremely compact and weighing a mere 13 lbs.
(5.9 kg), the DLA-HX2U is easy to install and set up.
An NSH (high-pressure mercury) lamp keeps
running costs to a minimum and lasts for about
2,000 hours of operation.The lamp and air filter
can be easily accessed and replaced without
removing the projector from the mount.
■ GUI on-screen display
A GUI on-screen menu lets you
make quick adjustments to
various settings.Two menu
layers ensure simple,
systematic setting
operation.
