Sony VPL-VW915ESSXRD 4K Laser Home Theater Projector with HDR (2020)

Sony VPL-VW915ESSXRD 4K Laser Home Theater Projector with HDR (2020)

The VPL-VW915ES is Sony's least expensive laser-based 4K home theater projector. Laser advantages include pure, consistent light, and maintenance-free operation for years, with no lamp to replace. Laser illumination also ensures more consistent brightness and color, and images with rock-solid stability. 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. True 4K accurately reveals the tiniest details and subtlest textures in 4K sources — it looks clearer, richer, and more dynamic.
