PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Sony's VPL-VW290ES SXRD 4K video projector is the ultimate in home theatre entertainment at anywhere near the price. The detail on this 4096 x 2160 pixel display is eye opening.

Imagine bringing the truly cinematic quality of 4K into your own home. Now you can make this a reality with the VPL-VW290ES Home Cinema projector. The VPL-VW290ES produces true 4K resolution images with Sony’s native 4K (4096 x 2160) SXRD panels – that’s over four times the quality of Full HD.

Designed for your home cinema room and living room, the VPL-VW290ES delivers stunning, detail-packed images and incredibly lifelike colour like never before. And with 1,500 ANSI lumens brightness, you’re guaranteed an exceptional picture.

Sony X1 Processor For Projector: 

Sony’s X1 for projector technology takes their acclaimed BRAVIA TV video processing technology and optimises it for projection. The processor combines innovative technologies for high-precision frame analysis, with features like Dynamic HDR Enhancer and Super Resolution for high-quality images.

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 theatre distribution. See corner-to-corner clarity and watch movies from much closer than you would in Full HD.

1500 Lumens For High Brightness: 

Savour the action with up to 1,500 lumens of brightness, generated by a 225W lamp, for vibrant images even on screens from 60″ to 300″/1524mm to 7620mm (diagonal). No need to keystone correct with up to 80% Lens Shift.

Native 4K SXRD Panel: 

The advanced Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD) panel technology featured in Sony’s digital theatre projectors delivers native 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution images, with more than four times the detail of Full HD. Fine details are wonderfully clear and natural, without jagged edges or visible pixels.

Colours Come Alive With TRILUMINOS:

Discover true-to-life colours and tones. The VPL-VW290ES incorporates TRILUMINOS colour, 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.

Our Take On The Sony VPL-VW290ES SXRD 4K Video Projector:

The VPL-VW290ES is a smart choice for the serious movie watcher. It is rare to find this sort of quality under $10K but the 290 has broken through that barrier offering commercial picture quality in an affordable package. The three SXRD image chips, one each for red, green, and blue, produce extraordinarily rich, saturated colours that are truly enjoyable. It will also excel on non 4K content as the smart and powerful upconversion capabilities improve the picture quality on even 'standard' Blu-ray or DVD discs.
