Sony's New VPL-HW50ES HD 3D Projector

Sony has just announced the launch of the new full HD 3D home cinema projector known as the VPL-HW50ES. This new home cinema projector has been designed around Sony's "Reality Creation" technology and, according to the company, has a brightness of up to 1,700 lumens. In addition to that, Sony explained that the high brightness level was achieved by improving the efficiency of the built-in lamp as well as the optical block optimization.

The new VPL-HW50ES comes with two modes, a Bright Cinema mode and a Bright TV mode. It is expected that whenever you operate the device in one of these two modes there is a 30% improvement to the overall brightness of the picture compared to the previously released models from Sony. One major point worth mentioning is that Sony was also able to achieve these brightness levels without compromising on the color reproduction, something that other developers have trouble with.

The VPL-HW50ES model will also come with a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and a contrast enhancer that is designed to analyze each scene and then optimize the contrast in real-time. The enhancer is capable of adjusting for dark and bright parts of the image by itself while some functional upgrades, like a 3D sync transmitter, wider lens and noise reduction, show the clear improvements this HD model has made over its predecessors.This projector also has a vertical lens shift in the range of +/- 71% and a noise level reduced to 21dB.

This appears to be a pretty good HD projector and one that is perfectly suited for home entertainment. Sony is known for making top-of-the-line home entertainment projectors and this one appears to be up there with the best of Sony's other offerings. The fact that it offers full 1080p HD along with full 3D is something that most home entertainment junkies will eat right up. You can purchase this projector right now from Sony's website and choose from one of two colors, white or black.

Sony Unveils New 4K Resolution Home Cinema Projector

Just one week after Toshiba announced the first television with a 4K resolution, or a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, Sony has gone and challenged it by unveiling a new home cinema projector that offers the exact same thing on a much larger screen. Sony, you cheeky devil!

Known as the VW1000ES, this projector uses a new 4K SXRD, or Silicon X-tal Reflective Display, along with Sony's Iris3 technology in order to give you 12.5m pixel images at up to 200 inches in size. However, while this may seem like something truly magnificent and fantastic, there is one major drawback, the complete lack of 4K video content.

However, despite the lack of content, this projector does offer some great features. It is a full HD and 3D projector and uses an active shutter system as well as a built-in transmitter for full HD content. Just because there isn't any 4K content out at the moment does not mean that you can't enjoy some full 1080p HD or 3D content while you wait.

The main appeal with this device, at least for movie fans, is its ability to upscale regular Blu-ray movies to 4K resolution. This is all thanks to Sony's proprietary "Reality Creation" chip located in the device. The result of quadrupling the resolution is a "more immersive, engaging visual experience" according to Sony who added, "It should be like stepping up from DVD to Blu-ray all over again."

The VW1000ES 4K projector from Sony follows the more recently announced VW95ES and HW30ES and is set to hit the UK market first in January 2012. Pricing is still unannounced but I wouldn't expect this thing to be cheap. Expect to pay well over anything you would pay now for a top of the line projector.
