Sony Bravia has announced Project 7, it is also known as VPL-XW 5100S, which joins Projectors 8 and 9 in its current lineup. New projector replaces VPL-XW 5000 ES and uses SXRD, Sony LCO (Crystal) The variant, which promises a better contrast ratio than the more common DLP and LCD chips.
The most recent Sony projector we’ve reviewed, the Vpl-vw325esWe had the best contrast ratio we had measured over the years. It is fairly safe that this new projector will be better. The new projector 7 claims 2,200 Lumens and there is a laser light source for possible better color.
In addition, the source of the laser light will fade quickly with dark views, potentially providing more impressive black layers. (This is not that black layers have become a problem with SXRD projectors in the past)) SXRD’s strong domestic contrasts combine with rapid-acting dynamic contrasts, 7 should look great in the dark room.
Brightness Histor Tihassically had one more problem with Sony projectors. Both DLP and LCD projectors are not able to compete with LCO (in Sony or ZVC forms) for the opposite ratio, often go for superior brightness. We have Recently reviewed a number of projectors With more than 3,000 rated lumens. Although they always measure less, they are still fascinatingly brightened. Projector 7’s 2,200 has claimed that lumens should be adequate for its intended use in the dedicated home theater.
For comparison, one of the best projectors I have recently reviewed is short-thro Benquiu x500iRated for 2,220 lumens is also rated but with a measurable 911 I have measured 1,500 to 1,136 lumen with 325 ES. If projector 7 has the same rate-to-transplant as the same rate of 325es, it will be brighter than a lot of bright X500I.
In the opposite ratio, I have measured a stunning 8,327: 1 in old Soni. BenQ X500I was one of the best in recent years and yet it was still a fraction of 325es at 1,990: 1. The average ratio of the projectors measured in CNET in the past few years is the ratio of 854: 1. Although 7 will probably be more expensive than any of these projectors, the proportion should be more fascinating.
One of the features that is somewhat controversial is the direction ratio scaling mode: “Cinemascope screens switches seamlessly between 2.35: 1 and 16: 9 – No need for a lens is the new direction scaling mode only provides more viewing with a tap.” This means the projector will crop the contents to fit a 2.35: 1 screen. The cropping is bad. Don’t cropThe I prefer a motorized lens with preset. In this way, you can see both types of content in the right side ratio, as much as it can fit, you have 2.35: 1 screen. All you need to do is press a button. Even the manual consistency is ok, until the zoom range for the projector.
No price was revealed, but the projector 8 16,000 and VPL-XW 5000S $ 6,000 so it should be somewhere between two prices.
