Sony Highlights New Home Cinema Projectors, Including 4K Models

Three upcoming projector models have been detailed.  

During the company's IFA 2015 press conference, Sony revealed several additions to its projector lineup. The new models include the VPL-VW520ES, VPL-VW320ES, and VPL-HW65ES. 

The VPL-VW520ES and VPL-VW320ES are both native 4K projector models with SXRD panels, Sony’s proprietary TRILUMINOs engine, Motionflow picture technology, and built-in RF 3D transmitters. Likewise, both projectors include HDMI connectivity with HDCP 2.2 compliancy and long-lasting lamps for up to 6,000 hours of performance. In addition, the VPL-VW520ES offers HDR (high dynamic range) support and features a 300,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Meanwhile, for customers not yet ready for Ultra HD, Sony is also releasing the VPL-HW65ES Full HD projector with a 120,000:1 contrast ratio.

"These new 4K projectors from Sony demonstrate our commitment to the native 4K resolution and HDR imagery, which guarantees the most immersive cinematic experience. Our projectors further support this through SXRD technology to achieve high-resolution images without the need to compromise between deep contrast and motion capabilities. We want our customers to enjoy true 4K, whether it is in a dedicated dark room or a living room," said Thomas Issa, Product Manager at Sony Professional Europe. 

Pricing has not been detailed yet, but all three projectors will be available in October.
