Sony has announced Bravia Projector 7, also known as VPL-XW5100es, which joins the 8 and 9 latitude in the current team lineup. The new VPL-XW5000es is replaced by SXRD, Sony’s LCOS (Liquid crystal on silicon) The variable, which is the most common contrast ratios than the most common DLP and LCD chips.
The latest Sony display that we reviewed, VPL-VW325esThe best variation in we measured years ago. It is a fairly safe assumption that this new PJ will be better. The new latitude 7 contains 2200 candles demanding and has a laser light source for better colors.
In addition, the laser light source will quickly give up with dark scenes, which may provide more impressive black levels. It is not that the black levels were a problem with SXRDs in the past. Combining the strong original variation of SXRD with a fast -acting dynamic contrast thanks to the decline laser, 7 great in dark rooms should look.
The brightness, historically, was more than a problem with Sony shows. Both DLP and LCD display devices, are unable to compete with LCOS (in Sony or JVC models) for the contrast ratio, often reaching high brightness. Our Review many displays recently With more than 3000 categorical lords. Although it is always less, it is still impressive. The 2200 panels that are alleged 2,200 should be displayed in the designated home theaters.
For comparison, one of the best displays you recently reviewed is short throwing Benq x500IIt was also classified on 2,200 luminals, but put 911 size. With 325es I measured 1136 candles from 1500 claims. So if the display device has 7 similar percentage of the scale to 325, it will be brighter than the strong X500I.
In terms of contrast ratio, I measured 8,327: 1 amazing on the oldest Sony. Benq X500I has had one of the best in recent years, however it has been a small part of 325, in 1,990: 1. The average contrast ratio of the displays that we measured in CNET in the past few years is 854: 1. Although 7 is likely to be more expensive than any of these display devices, their contrast rate must be more impressive as well.
One of the features is the seven that is somewhat controversial, which is the scaling of the width ratio to the height: “Switch smoothly between 2.35: 1 and 16: 9 on Cinemascope – There are no required lens modifications. The new scaling mode provides greater display flexibility with a click.” How to read this is that the display will get content to suit 2.35: 1 screen. Crops are bad. Not. I am the best mechanical lens with pre -settings. In this way, you can see any type of content in the percentage to the right height, as much as it can fit, assuming that you have a 2.35: 1 screen. All you have to do is press a button. Even the manual modification is good, as long as the display device has its zooming range.
There is no pricing yet, but the 8,000-dollar display and VPL-XW5000es are $ 6000, so it should be somewhere between the two.
