Sony VPL-VW500es home cinema projector gives you a 4096 x 2160 resolution picture, over four times better than Full HD. Enjoy your favourite movies in astonishing 4K detail Imagine the fully immersive cinematic quality of 4K in your own home.
With exceptionally high dynamic contrast ratio of 200,000:1 and 1,700 ANSI lumens brightness, VPL-VW500es produces stunning detail and rich, faithful colour – even in well-lit rooms.
Get the very best from your 2D and 3D discs
While more and more native 4K material is becoming available, the Sony VPL-VW500es uses our Reality Creation technology to upscale Full HD content for an incredible 4K experience. This Super Resolution feature means you’ll get the very best from your current Blu-ray Disc™ library, with fuller colour, greater clarity and more impact than ever before.
Compact and user-friendly
The VPL-VW500ES is easy to operate, with a variety of control modes so you get the very best picture, whatever you’re watching. With a smaller optical engine than our leading 4K projector, the VPL-VW1000ES, its compact design also offers even greater flexibility for installation.
4K native resolution:
over 4x better than Full HD No compromises: provides 4096 x 2160 4K resolution (the DCI standard in digital cinemas). We used our professional cinema expertise to develop 4K SXRD panels and produce a 4K native picture with no artificial enhancement of pixels
Ultra high contrast ratio and brightness
Drawing on optical technology, we’ve achieved both high brightness (1,700 ANSI lumens) and high contrast (200,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio).
So, you’ll see crystal-clear, bright, detail-packed images – even in welllit rooms.
Advanced SXRD panels
4K digital drive panels minimise the space between pixels in every frame with an incredible response rate of 2.5-milliseconds. That’s much faster, and more stable, than an LCD TV and produces ultra-smooth, dot-free pictures with natural, fluid movement – whatever the action.
New Motionflow
We’ve enhanced our Motionflow technology. ‘Combination’ mode uses our ‘Film Projection’ and ‘Motion Enhancer’, adding frames to reduce blur and maintain brightness in thrilling, fast-moving scenes. Cinema purists can choose ‘True Cinema’ to retain the original 24 frames per second.
TRILUMINOS Display
The optical engine and SXRD panels incorporate our TRILUMINOS Display technology to produce a much broader colour range, reproducing more tones and textures than a standard projector system. The result is greater purity, depth and realism.
Reality Creation: upscales your movies to 4K
As well as native 4K material, you can see your current Full HD Blu-ray™ or DVD movie collection upscaled for a 4K experience. Reality Creation is a Super Resolution technology that radically enhances Full HD content, even upscaling 3D movies for 4K
Compatible with ‘Mastered in 4K’ Blu-ray™ discs
Drawing on the same technology used to downscale 4K material for Full HD, the projector gives you a near native 4K experience with discs ‘Mastered in 4K’. It’s as close as you can get to the 4K-pixel resolution and expanded colour range of the original
