Sony 4K Home Theater Laser Projector
The world’s most advanced 4K projector designed specifically for
home theater use. Enjoy 5,000 lumens of brightness, HDR compatibility,
and the ability to simulate the new ITU-R BT2020 color gamut on top of
the full DCI color space. For home installations with larger screens,
this projector is the truly the ultimate home cinema display.
Native 4K resolution for lifelike pictures
With more than four
times the resolution of Full HD, native 4K offers 8.8 million pixels
(4096 x 2160) for a picture that is incredibly lifelike, which is why it
is the resolution defined by the DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) for
theater distribution. See corner-to-corner clarity and watch movies from
much closer than you would in Full HD.
5000 lumens for spectacular brightness
Savor the action with an
incredible 5000 lumens brightness, for high contrast across the screen. A
highly efficient Z-Phosphor laser light generates the brightness
required for vibrant images across the whole screen.
Native 4K SXRD panel
The VPL-VW5000ES's SXRD™ panels
and laser light source help the projector achieve a high dynamic
contrast. This means that the full color spectrum-from deep, inky blacks
through to vibrant reds, blues and greens-is replicated with fine
detail and realism, making every scene spring to life for a truly
immersive experience.
See deeper blacks with 4K SXRD™ panels
Latest SXRD
panels deliver even better contrast, as well as native 4K resolution.
With SXRD projection, you'll see rich, inky blacks, clear cinematic
motion and smooth images. Improvements to the reflective silicon layer
now mean even better light control, for precisely delivered shadows and
blacks.
Watch bright images for longer with a Z-Phosphor™ laser light
The VPL-VW5000ES uses an ultra-pure and reliable Z-Phosphor™
laser light source. This Sony-developed light source offers bright
images for up to 20,000 hours of uninterrupted operation-no lamp
replacement and virtually zero maintenance.
Dual contrast control
In addition to the dynamically-controlled
laser light output, an Advanced Iris is also incorporated. Both the iris
control and laser can be adjusted independently and dynamically, to
optimize light output for both dark and bright well-lit scenes. The
result is deeper blacks than ever, as well as bright, vibrant colors
where needed. The infinite dynamic contrast makes every scene spring to
life with detail and realism.
Corner-to-corner sharpness with the ARC-F lens
For pristine
image quality across the entire screen, the VPL-VW5000ES features an
All-Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens. This large-aperture lens adopts an
all-glass design for its 18 elements, including six extra low-dispersion
(ELD) elements. This ensures optimal convergence of the red, green and
blue primaries even at the extreme edges of the image for a clear and
vivid image wherever you look.
Digital Focus Optimizer
Optimum focus is achieved, not only
optically, but also digitally, by the Digital Focus Optimizer. It
compensates in advance from the possible optical degradation of the
lens, then outputs the optimum corrected images, so that even the focus
in the corners is better than ever.
Super-resolution Reality Creation for 4K Contents
Sony's
exclusive Reality Creation technology analyzes images right down to the
pixel level. It then employs pattern-matching algorithms developed over
years of movie production to enhance crispness even without increasing
digital picture noise. It also upscales existing Full HD Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD movies to near 4K quality.
4K Motionflow™
The powerful video processor in the VPL-VW5000ES offers Motionflow™ for smooth and clear motion, even when viewing 4K content. Motionflow™
is best for fast-moving sports content as it adds frames to reduce
blur, while maintaining brightness. Movie theater purists can choose
True Theater mode to retain the original 24fps.
HDR compatibility: every image comes to life
Get the most from
your projector when viewing new UHD Blu-ray and streaming services with
High Dynamic Range (HDR). HDR video offers a vastly expanded brightness
range to deliver far more realistic, high-contrast images and brilliant
colors. Compatible with both HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) formats,
Sony's home projectors reproduce color and contrast faithfully to the
creators' intent.
Motorized zoom lens and wide lens shift
Installing this
projector in your room is easy with a 2.06x motorized zoom with a wide
lens shift range. Adjust the position of the projector up to 80% vertically and 31% horizontally to get just the right angle for your movies without creating image distortion or resolution loss.
HDMI 18 Gbps capable
With 4K HDR 60P content increasing, the VPL-VW5000ES is now 18 Gbps-capable for smoother expressions of gradations.
Colors come alive with TRILUMINOS™
Discover true-to-life colors and tones. The VPL-VW5000ES incorporates TRILUMINOS™
color, reproducing more tones and textures than a standard projector
system. Hard-to-reproduce crimson reds, aqua blues, and emerald greens
are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes look more vivid.
Faces look better, too, with skin tones more faithfully reproduced.
HDCP 2.2 compatibility
Both HDMI inputs are compatible with HDCP 2.2-the latest content protection standard.
Select from nine calibrated picture modes
Quickly style the
picture to what you're watching or playing. Select from nine calibrated
picture modes, including two theater film modes, theater digital,
reference, TV, photo, game, bright cinema and bright TV. An advanced HSV
(Hue Saturation Value) color tuning tool gives you even more control.
Make the home theater experience bigger and better than ever.
Sony
4K projectors are compatible with IMAX Enhanced content, making them
ready to deliver the bigger, more breathtaking IMAX visuals you love in

with movies that become even more immersive with IMAX Enhanced.
Picture Position Memory stores your settings
Store focus, zoom,
and lens shift settings for up to five screen formats for easy recall.
Picture Position Memories store key settings so you can quickly watch
movies in the ideal format. Match aspect ratios, including 16:9 and
Cinemascope, and store these settings in the projector.
