Like a Shelby Mustang, this projector starts life as a stocker (from JVC). Then Meridian soups it up with a Faroudja outboard video processor and tunes it to perfection by color-correcting its three LCDs pixel by pixel. It even ships with an "optimization report" from the tech who hand-tweaked it. The result: pleasingly accurate color and spot-on performance from any HD video source.
WIRED: Full-res HD (1080p). Aced every single one of our video-processing tests. Picture looked clear even four feet from our 110-inch test screen.
TIRED: Offers single component and DVI inputs — and that's it, no HDMI. But if you have the roll to score this rig, you can afford a digital switchbox, too.
