Update!! Sony Sells a True 4K Projector for Just $5,000
Purchasing a “4k” projector might be a difficult thing to do, due to the fact that lots of companies use different technologies such as using low resolutions and pixel shifting (JVC and Epson) or special processing (Optoma) to make-up for the missing elements and most people think the price for this type of projector is too expensive to buy in 2017.
It is important to know that, 4K projectors that are less expensive are even costly than most of the top-notch 4K TV’s this year.
Right now, the sale of 4K projectors are beginning to take over the markets and Sony has introduced new series of 4K projectors to many markets and one of them is the VPL-VW285ES 4K HDR Home Theater Projector and it sells for just $5000. This projector is a powerful one and its likes are really unbeatable when it comes to competition. Although this projector is very expensive but as said earlier, it is less expensive than most 4K projectors available from Sony which largely cost more than $10,000.
Furthermore, the cost of VPL-VW285E5 4K HDR Home Theater Projector that sells for $5000 may not look cheap compared to competitions from other projectors like Optoma’s $2000 UHD60, but last year’s new Sony projector still costs $15,000. Notwithstanding, if the price is not what motivates you, Sony has an upgrade which is the VPL –VW385ES model which sells for $8,000 and it uses an advanced contrast and detail in dark areas. You can opt to use the 4K projector with a laser light source with powerful Lumens.
Interestingly, the VPL-VW285ES 4K HDR Home Theater Projector offers a maximum picture size of about 200 inches ad real 4K output as opposed to the slightly lesser Ultra HD with a resolution of 4096 x 2160; this makes it a good choice for most customers. When it comes to HDR, it supports the popular HDR10 standard and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), through the projector and it has 1,500 Lumens of brightness.
