The VPL-VW1000ES projector is packed with advanced technologies to make watching 2D and 3D content at home just like being at the movies, from the 4K lens and rich colour reproduction to super high brightness and a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

The VPL-VW1000ES 4K home cinema projector offers 4096 x 2160 resolution, more than 4x the resolution of Full HD. The projector’s 4K SXRD panels have been specially developed by Sony for the VPL-VW1000ES, utilising 4K expertise from the professional cinema market. They deliver a native 4K picture, with no electronic enhancement of pixels.

With 2,000 ANSI-lumen brightness, the VPL-VW1000ES delivers nearly twice the output of previous Sony home cinema projectors. Combined with 4K SXRD panels, the projector is able to offer both higher brightness and higher contrast ratio for optimum viewing in the home environment.

In addition to supporting 4K native resolution, the VPL-VW1000ES projector also features an exclusive Super Resolution 4K upscaler “RealityCreation” that dramatically enhances high definition 1080P content, allowing viewers to get the most from their existing Blu-ray Disc™ libraries at home. For greater versatility, it can also display Full HD 3D and 4K up-scaling of 3D movies.

Sony has developed the 4K All-Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens specifically for the VPL-VW1000ES projector to produce optimised 4K images. A wide lens shift range of 80% vertical and 31% horizontal reduces the need for additional platform extensions in ceiling mounts. The VPL-VW1000ES is able to display anamorphic images and 3D without changing the lens, making it as user-friendly as possible.
