JVC introduces first 8K e-shift projector, plus two true 4K models

Most projectors that bill themselves as 4K (especially the more affordable ones) are what the industry calls faux-4K rather than true 4K, using pixel-shifting methods as opposed to expensive 4K-resolution chips to beam a 4K image.

True 4K models are, even today, far and few between and still carry price tags greater than most 4K TVs.

It's not wholly surprising, then, that the first 8K projector we've seen flies the faux flag, although 'true' or not, we can't deny our wilful anticipation of 8K projection's potential.

A HDR auto tone-mapping feature uses the content’s metadata to continuously adjust the image, too.

The DLA-NX9, DLA-N7 and DLA-N5 will be available from October, priced £18,599, £8499 and £6499 respectively.
