Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight's contest is between InFocus'es newly launched heavyweight of their home theater projector lineup - the SP8602, and what is technically JVC's "light weight" (in that it's their least expensive) projector. There is, however, nothing lightweight about the RS15's performance, it's a slugger in its own right. The InFocus SP8602 won a Best In Class - Runner-up award. Impressive! The JVC RS15 received only a Hot Product award, but in fairness, you have to remember that the RS15's two "bigger brothers" - the RS35 - received Best In Class, and the RS25, tied the InFocus with a Runner-up award.
These two projectors are markedly different. The InFocus SP8602 is a single chip DLP home projector while the JVC DLA-RS15 projector sports 3 LCoS panels (which they call D-iLA, much as Sony calls their LCoS panels SXRD). Both, however are extremely impressive, and excellent overall.
