Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K SXRD 3D Home Theater Projector Preview

Sony's new VPL-VW1000ES 4K home theater projector doesn't look like an air handler. No, it's elegant, as you'd expect for a $25,000 product with 4K upscaling for 2D and 3D & gazillion:1 contrast ratio

Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K SXRD 3D Projector: Take 2

In our February 2012 issue, we published an exclusive first look at Sony's new top-of-the-line projector. In addition to stunning performance with conventional, high-defintion, consumer material, the VPL-VW1000 employs 4K imaging chips, offering four...

If you’re shopping in this price range for a new projector, the Sony VPL-VW1000 should definitely be on your short list. If 3D is not an important target on your radar, that’s all you need to know. If you’re big on 3D, you need to accept the fact that...

Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K SXRD Front Projector Reviewed

Sony had been at the forefront of the 4K movement, and the VPL-VW1000ES 4K projector is the company's biggest offering in that regard. Andrew Robinson took the projector to task and was shocked by what he discovered.

As a person who has worked with 4K as director from capture to exhibition, I know the benefits it provides viewers and professionals as a format. Because of this, I hold out hope for its eventual release into the home markets. Because of what I know...

Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K SXRD Projector

But the competition is fierce, and to stand out in the crowd, manufacturers are constantly on the lookout for the next big thing. True, 3D is still on its run as the NBT of the decade. Beyond that, 4K video lurks, waiting for its time in the spotlight.

With sub-$10,000 projectors offering the sort of performance they do today, the high-end home theater market is reaching for new worlds to conquer. 4K projection appears to be the obvious answer, and the Sony VPL-VW1000ES delivers the goods—at least in...

Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K SXRD Projector

Things could hardly be looking better for the video projector fan. The quality you can get today for under $10,000—or even under $5,000—is astonishing.

Sony VPL-VW1000ES

I'm just dazzled by this projector. I thought it was outstanding when I first saw it at CEDIA '11. The VPL-VW1000ES projector (pre-production) had some issues back then, but the overall potential was obvious. At the CES show in January, it was even...

Once again, Sony provides exceptional pixel/panel alignment capabilities. Adjustments can be done automatically, or manually (over 100 zones, I believe), in increments of about 1/10th of a pixel. Now remember, this is a 4K projector, so that's a lot...
