Breathtaking Picture Quality
Real-life clarity with Cinematic 4K- over four times the detail of Full HD
With more than four times the resolution of Full HD, 4K offers 8.8
million pixels for a picture that’s so incredibly lifelike, you could
believe you’re looking at the real thing. Every detail is perfectly
clear, with less jagged edges and visible pixels than with a
conventional Full HD projector.

High Brightness
Drawing on optical technology developed for the VPL-VW1100ES, we’ve
achieved high brightness. Conventional home theater projectors typically
enhance the green color to secure image brightness. However, this
projector boasts our new Bright Cinema and Bright TV modes. Optical
block and signal processing improvements bring high brightness without a
loss in color reproduction and contrast, so you can enjoy bright, crisp
images even when viewing in a well-lit room.

Remarkable Dynamic Contrast for Highest Picture Quality
With Sony’s Advanced Iris3 technology, this projector can achieve an
incredible 300,000:1 dynamic contrast for the best ever images.
Advanced SXRD Panels
The projectors’ 4K native SXRD panels produce outstanding native
device contrast, reproducing deep blacks by improving the flatness level
of the pixel surface.

Reality Creation: Upscale Your Movies to 4K
As well as native 4K material, you can watch your current Full HD
Blu-ray™ or DVD movie collection upscaled for a 4K experience. Reality
Creation is a super-resolution technology that radically enhances Full
HD content, even upscaling 3D movies for 4K.

Compatible with ‘Mastered in 4K’ Blu-ray Discs
Drawing on the same technology used to downscale 4K material for Full
HD, the projector gives you a near-native 4K experience with discs
‘Mastered in 4K’. It’s as close as you can get to the 4K-pixel
resolution and expanded color range of the original.

TRILUMINOS Display
The projectors’ optical engines and SXRD panels incorporate our
TRILUMINOS Display technology to produce a much broader color range,
reproducing more tones and textures than a standard projector system.
The result is greater purity, depth and realism.

Advanced Motionflow
We’ve simplified our Motionflow offering. Combination mode uses
Sony’s Film Projection and Motion Enhancer capabilities, adding frames
to reduce blur and maintain brightness in thrilling, fast-moving scenes.
Cinema purists can choose True Cinema mode to retain the original 24
fps.

Installation Advantages
Compact and Functional Design
A smaller optical engine means the projector is approximately 18 cm
shorter in length than our leading projector, the VPL-VW1100ES, so
there’s greater flexibility for installation.
Front-facing Fan
Because the fan is positioned at the front, you don’t need to worry
about wall space and room for air inhale/exhaust when you install. This
helps maximize the throw distance for bigger projected images.
Wider Zoom and Shift Lens
The projector offers a zoom-powered lens to provide maximum flexibility for home installations, including high ceiling mounting.
Picture Position Memory Matches Movie Aspect Ratio
The projector has a picture position memory, which memorizes the
position of the lens (focus, zoom, shift). Users can match a movie’s
aspect ratio, including 1.78:1 and 2.35:1, and store these settings in
the projector for easy recall.

Electronic Panel Alignment
Ensures the red and blue elements in each pixel are precisely
positioned against green. Adjustments can be made by as little as 0.1
pixels for optimum clarity.
User-friendly Functions
Built-in Auto Calibration
After extended periods, color can be automatically calibrated to the
original factory condition. There’s no need for extra calibration
equipment or cameras; a built-in color sensor stores all the necessary
information.

Professional Calibration
A correction tool allows you to adjust the hue, saturation, and
brightness of each color and the color space for red, green and blue
respectively, to get exactly the picture you want.
Industry-standard RF 3D Compatible
A built-in RF transmitter synchronizes with any RF 3D glasses for
wider coverage and greater stability, and there’s no need for an
external transmitter.
The Latest 4K/60p HDMI Standard: 60 Frames Per Second
The projectors can show up to 60 frames per second in 4K (at color
signal YUV 4:2:0 / 8 bit). It’s the new 4K industry standard and is much
higher than the earlier 24p. The result is a smoother image with
superior color and realism.
HDCP 2.2 Compatibility
Compatible with HDCP 2.2 - the latest content protection standard - ensuring readiness for future premium 4K content.
Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a high-performance lamp and advanced lamp-control
technology, the projectors deliver an extremely long lamp replacement
time of 6,000 hours*.
* Approximate recommended period, in low mode.
USB Updates
To get the best from your projector, there’s a USB port for the latest firmware updates.
Low Latency Mode
A new feature for gamers. Experience our fastest ever response time
between your controller and the screen for ultimate gaming action.
Easy Connectivity for Home Automation
Complies with many home automation systems via an RJ45(IP), RS-232C, TRIGGER and IR IN interfaces.
