Sony VPL-VW350ES 4K projector review: Yes, Virginia, there is a difference with 4K

Sony's VPL-VW350ES is the cheapest true 4K projector yet, and it proves that good-quality 4K content on a 120-inch diagonal screen truly does trounce the detail you can get from 1080p Blu-ray.

With the best 4K content the Sony VPL-VW350ES 4K projector delivers images more detailed than any of its competitors in this price range. It exhibited outstanding picture quality overall, with very good light output and black levels, superb color...

With most 4K current sources and all 1080p material, its resolution advantage over 1080p projectors is negligible. Its black levels are lighter, for worse overall contrast, than JVC's comparable D-ILA projectors. Despite its low cost compared to other...

The $10,000 Sony VPL-VW350ES is the least expensive true 4K projector available, and it finally delivers on the promise of 4K resolution.

Sony VPL-VW350ES review: 4K projector actually shows the difference, for a price

"No Good Deed" is no good movie, but it delivers the sharpest picture quality experience I've ever seen from a Hollywood film in CNET's test lab. When I compared the 4K version to the Blu-ray, using Sony's new VPL-VW350ES 4K projector and a couple of...

Sony VPL-VW350ES Review – 4K Home Theater/Gaming Projector (VPLVW350ES)

So far, Sony has consistently kept its position as the overwhelmingly dominant industry leader in 4K home theater projectors to the point where the company's models are some of the only offerings for true 4K projection on the market. Of course however,...

Excellent color delivery ; Superb visual performance for 4K and non-4K content ; Very low noise and heat levels ; Great projection brightness ; Well-designed remote and on-screen menus ; DCI 4K at 4096 x 2160 pixels

Still very expensive ; No HDR ; Contrast could use improvement

Sony’s VPL-VW350ES is one superb piece of 4K projection technology which delivers some of the best projected video delivery we’ve yet seen. It works wonderfully with native 4K content and delivers excellent display of Full HD and well-mastered DVD...

Sony VPL-VW350ES 4K SXRD Projector Review

2D Performance 3D Performance Features

When I hear someone question the value of 4K, the first thought that comes to my mind is: projection. Unless your nose is pressed up to the screen, a 4K image viewed on 50-inch flat-panel TV won’t look much different from regular old 1080p. A main...
