Sony has enhanced its lineup of home cinema projectors with three new high-performance models that bring an immersive 4K HDR viewing experience to the home.

All models deliver high-contrast, detail-packed images thanks to Sony’s cutting-edge native SXRD panel. This is combined with Reality Creation, a resolution-processing technology that uses a unique Sony algorithm to perfectly map pixels for consistently crisp images.

The three new models introduced are:

 The premium compact laser light source VPL-VW760ES projector*.

 The versatile VPL-VW360ES with high dynamic contrast and adjustable image quality.

 The VPL-VW260ES for value-to-cost performance.

In addition to support for HDR10, which is the standard HDR format for UHD, the new projectors also support hybrid log gamma (HLG) for broadcast and online content.

“All of these models are designed with Sony’s commitment in mind to bring the most ‘true to reality’ images to our customers,” said Riki Nishimura, GM, Business & Industrial Solutions Marketing Division, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP), Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “All three feature-packed 4K HDR projectors, from the cost-effective VPL-VW260ES to the premium VPL- VW760ES, have breathtakingly-real picture quality. So, whether viewers are watching the latest action film or a sporting event they’ll feel truly immersed in the experience.”

The VPL-VW760ES uses a laser light source with 2,000 lumens for spectacular and long-lasting brightness. The technology ensures high-dynamic contrast with a new light level control that adjusts to the brightness of the scene in real-time, so bright scenes appear more vivid and darker scenes have more depth.

TRILUMINOS technology produces a broader colour range than standard projector systems, with more tones and textures while Motionflow technology reacts to fast moving scenes to stabilise images, preventing any blur or pixilation.

Because of its compact size with 496mm in depth which is 40% smaller than current laser light source model*, the projector can be installed in a shelf or mounted on the ceiling. The laser light source makes it simple to maintain, as there is no need to change a lamp. In addition, it is unnecessary to replace expendable parts for about 20,000 hours**, so it can be used for a long time before requiring maintenance.

The VPL-VW360ES allows viewers to experience 4K HDR with 1,500 lumens of brightness. The model replaces the VPL-VW320ES and adds extra features to reproduce even more realistic images, including an Advanced Iris for 200,000:1 dynamic contrast and picture positioning memory to adjust to the aspect ratio of the content being shown.

The VPL-VW260ES delivers a 4K HDR experience with high cost performance. The 1,500 lumens
projector includes many of the features of the other two projectors, including a native 4K SXRD panel, Reality Creation and TRILUMINOS, so users get precise and clear images at a cost-effective price point. Both the VPL-VW360ES and the VPL-VW260ES come in black and premium white colours to fit into various environments. Their compact size, 2.06 zoom and wide lens shift make them easy to install.
