Pros

  • I have a JVC NP5 and it is noticeably superior to previous non-4k projector. D-ILA has incredible contrast and black levels as well.
  • Jvc np5. Love it
  • I have the JVC NP5 I think it is and LOVE it.
  • If you are in the US then I can hook you up with a killer deal on a JVC NP5 for about the same price as the 5050!
  • Switched to the JVC and felt a lot nicer (subjective I know). Tried both JVC NP5 and NZ7, went with the latter but there wasn't much difference beyond bulb vs laser.

Cons

  • The JVC had slightly better black levels, but the softer max focus along with worse image processing were both deal breakers.
  • The JVC NP5 and NZ7 have the same power specifications.
  • Before I made the switch, I was able to see the epson ls12000, jvc np5, and the xgimi side by side and professionally calibrated.

I would suggest a JVC NP5 and the Studiotek screen.

So I would actually go with a JVC NP5 instead of the Epson LS12000. It has a lower lumen output, but more than enough for a screen of this size. More importantly, it has better black levels, better contrast, better color coverage, and a sharper image.
