Sony VPL-VW295ES SALE Limited availability

Larger-than-life images with full 4K detail

The VPL-VW295ES produces a brilliant Ultra HD picture, with four times the picture detail of full HD 1080p. The difference between HD and 4K is certainly visible on TV-sized screens, but when you're projecting onto a screen that's 100", 120" or even larger, the added clarity and sense of depth is pretty stunning.

True 4K vs. "4K-compatible"

This is a true 4K projector with Full Digital Cinema 4K resolution (4096 x 2160), which works out to 8.8 million pixels. By comparison, most pixel-shifting "4K-compatible" projectors typically have around 4 million pixels. Full 4K produces images with that "looking-through-a-window" sense of dimensionality.

Sony's SXRD technology — proven in theaters around the world

The VPL-VW295ES is based on the same 4K Digital Cinema SXRD™ technology found in Sony's professional projectors. The 'VW295ES uses three SXRD image chips — one each for red, green, and blue — to produce extraordinarily rich, saturated colors that pop off the screen.

But you don't need 4K material to be wowed by this projector. Sony has some of the best video processing available in a consumer projector, and one of its biggest strengths is upscaling HD content to 4K quality. Sony calls this advanced processor Reality Creation, and it's based on ten years' experience upscaling movies to 4K in thousands of theaters worldwide.

How do you improve on 4K? Add HDR.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) can significantly expand overall picture contrast range with both deeper blacks and brighter highlights. HDR gives colors more pop, too.

There's lots of of HDR-encoded 4K movies and shows available from streaming services like Netflix® and Amazon Instant Video. Since the VPL-VW295ES has no built-in web apps, you'll need to connect a 4K media streamer to explore this great-looking content. Of course, for the large images of projector systems, the ultimate high-resolution source is an Ultra HD Blu-ray player.

Flexible setup

Sony designed the VPL-VW295ES for easy setup, with a powered zoom lens and powered lens shift for adjusting the image either horizontally or vertically, to allow for off-center projector placement. Sony's recommended maximum screen size is 300", which is huge, but you'll also get amazing results with much smaller screens, including those sized 100" or less.

Out-of-the-box picture settings are so spot on — especially the Reference picture mode — that you'll be tempted to leave them as-is. But if you like to tweak, you can fine-tune brightness, contrast, and color to suit a wide range of rooms, screens, and video sources.

And gamers will be pleased to hear that Sony reduced the input lag on the VPL-VW295ES, making video games more responsive than ever.
