New Sony 4K HDR projectors are more affordable than ever

Projectors can typically be found for cheap, but with that low price tag comes few bells and whistles and most certainly not 4K HDR. Sony is looking to change that with their latest projectors. Michael Irving from New Atlas:

Sony calls the VPL-VW285ES an entry-level model. The projector can support 4K HDR signals at up to 60 frames per second with 10-bit depth, making it ideal for gaming or movies with higher frame rates. Sony’s proprietary Triluminos technology is designed to reproduce color better, even in sunlight or bright light. Images can be created of up to 200 inches, and the operating lifetime of the projector is up to 6,000 hours.

The next step up is the VPL-VW385ES, a mid-tier projector boasting high brightness and a Dynamic Contrast ratio of 200,000:1, for deeper blacks and brighter colors. This model also packs a function called Picture Position Memories, which allows users to store sets of preferences like lens focus, zoom, aspect ratio and blanking, and recall them on demand.

Sony hasn’t announced release dates yet, but the entry-level VPL-VW285ES is set to sell for $4,999.99, while the mid-tier VPL-VW385ES will cost $7,999.99.
