Sony has expanded its ultra short throw home theatre lineup with the VPL-VZ1000ES 4K HDR home theatre projector, designed to integrate easily into people’s homes. The laser light source projector is high dynamic range (HDR)-compatible with native 4K resolution.

Ultra short throw projectors are more versatile than traditional projectors as they can be positioned much closer to the screen. The VPL-VZ1000ES can be placed as close as 6" away from the wall and yet produce a 254cm (100") image, measured diagonally in 16:9. When powered off, the compact VPL-VZ1000ES virtually disappears into the décor. 

"Up until now home cinema enthusiasts have needed a dedicated room for watching projected content; this isn't always ideal, since not everyone has the luxury of extra space to accommodate an extra-large screen. The new VPL-VZ1000ES changes this dynamic completely, providing an enchanting home theatre experience up to 120" in your existing living space," said Riki Nishimura, GM, Business & Industrial Solutions Marketing Division, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP), Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. 

"Our revolutionary new generation of ultra short throw projectors deliver incredible 4K HDR imagery just inches away from your wall, then fade into the existing room design once turned off."

The VPL-VZ1000ES is approximately 925 x 494 x 219mm in size and weighs about 35 kg, making it small and light enough to complement virtually any decor. This is approximately 40% smaller than the currently available Sony VPL-GTZ1 4K ultra short throw projector. Despite its compact size and lower manufacturer's recommended retail price, the VPL-VZ1000ES generates 2,500 lumens of colour light output. 

Sony's advanced SXRD panels, coupled with the Z-Phosphor laser light engine, produce high dynamic contrast, enhancing the highlights and lowlights of HDR content. The VPL-VZ1000ES projector’s Z-Phosphor laser light source hits peak brightness much quicker than conventional projector lamps. Brightness and colour accuracy are also maintained longer, reducing the frequency of lamp replacement.

The form factor of the VPL-VZ1000ES makes it the ideal projector for large display sizes in small spaces, as well as locations with high ceilings. And since the projector is mounted in front rather than behind the viewers, there are no issues with shadows or obstructions from ceiling lights or fans.

The VPL-VZ1000ES ultra short throw 4K HDR home theatre projector is available in Singapore now at a recommended retail price of S$28,000.
