Angeboten wird „DLA NZ500 Black“ von JVC als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Projektor“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4117451146 endet am 18.09.2026 um 06:47 Uhr.
At €4,790 new, this JVC DLA-NZ500 is a strong bargain compared to the typical used market for this projector, where the median sits at €250 and the 75th percentile reaches €1,203; the listing price is actually far above the 75th percentile, making it an ambitious ask for a used unit unless it is genuinely new or demo-only. Wait—this contradicts the premise: the listing says “new (condition: EUR)” at €4,790, while the GROUND TRUTH used median is only €250. That means €4,790 is wildly overpriced for a used item, even if labeled “new,” because it exceeds the 75th percentile (€1,203) by nearly 4x.
The DLA-NZ500 is JVC’s entry-level native 4K D-ILA laser projector, praised for its 40,000:1 contrast, 2,000 lumens, and compact size, delivering flagship-like performance at a lower cost than higher-tier models. However, at €4,790, this listing offers no upside—it’s not rare, not original-owner condition with extras, and the price is materially inflated compared to both used comparables and new retail prices (which range €5,000–€5,999). This is not a buying opportunity; it’s a mispriced listing that ignores the used market reality.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
JVC, originally founded on September 13, 1927, in Yokohama, Japan, as the Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan, emerged as a subsidiary of the American Victor Talking Machine Company. It quickly established itself in phonograph and record production, becoming a leader in turntables within its first few years. After RCA acquired the parent company in 1929, JVC expanded into radios and introduced Japan's first domestically produced television in 1939, laying the foundation for its enduring legacy in consumer electronics.
The brand's product focus has historically centered on audio and video playback devices, starting with phonographs and evolving through radios, televisions, and the revolutionary VHS videocassette recorder launched in 1976, which became the global standard over Sony's Betamax. In hi-fi realms, JVC gained renown for amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and components like tuners, while later offerings included headphones and car audio systems. Following its 2008 merger with Kenwood to form JVCKenwood, it continued blending audio expertise with broader electronics.
Today, JVC occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by enthusiasts for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exclusivity. Its vintage gear, particularly from the wood-case amplifier era and early digital components, attracts collectors, while modern lines deliver competent sound without boutique pricing. This accessible heritage makes JVC a dependable choice for knowledgeable buyers seeking proven Japanese engineering.
