If you have a projector from a few years back, you likely have a lamp-based one with older technology. Today’s projectors have a huge technical advantage of laser light. Laser light opens the door for brighter light and consistent output – no dimming with age!
For an upgrade to your Home Theater, we strongly recommend Sony Electronics new native 4K HDR Laser home cinema projectors. They employ the world’s smallest native 4K SXRD panels which enables the engineers to deliver a more compact chassis design. Naturally in your Home Theater, this means these projectors are an easier fit into your system and offer more placement opportunities.
The latest Sony projectors also have XR Triluminos Pro™ technology which enables the projector to deliver full and natural color. The bright, vibrant color spectrum is wider than you’ll find on a other projectors, with true-to-life skin tones, and accurate tone and shade gradation delivering smooth gradation between colors and shades across all your video be it movies, TV shows, or gaming.
Mix in the Sony “X1™ Ultimate for projector,” the best-in-class video processor! This processor enables unique features like Dynamic HDR Enhancer and Object-based Super Resolution to create expanded dynamic range and extreme clarity, which will heighten every viewing experience. Dynamic HDR removes the limitations we had with older video signals and delivers brightness and color across a much wider range. Sony’s Dynamic HDR Enhancer can show an image built from a wider gamut of color and brightness. Besides the wider range, modern movie HDR video describes more steps in between the extremes. This means that very bright objects and very dark objects on the same screen can be shown very bright and very dark if the display supports it, with all of the necessary steps in between described in the signal and not synthesized by the image processor. If we think about it, your older lamp-based projector never turned its lamp light off, just dimmer. A laser can turn on or off instantaneously allowing extreme differences and light dimming all of the way to black!
Which Sony should I choose? There are a few considerations and of course, your available budget for the upgrade.
At the very top of the Sony projector line is the Sony VPL-GTZ380/P which faithfully displays true 4K resolution (4096 x 2160) images with uncanny clarity! The finest details are breathtakingly crisp and clear, so real – as if you could walk into the image, even when your seat might be closer to the screen. The VPL-GTZ380/P delivers your 4K video images with a spectacular 10,000 lumen brightness allowing perfect picture dynamics in the image displayed on your Home Theater screen. So real, it is simply breathtaking!
The next in line brings us to the Sony VPL-XW7000ES a powerful new 4K HDR laser model at 3,200 lumens which provides exceptionally vivid images even in bright home living spaces, making it the perfect companion for watching films, sports and gaming. This model also features a new 70mm diameter ACF Advanced Crisp Focused lens that delivers extreme clarity so every detail can be experienced on your large screen.
The Sony VPL-XW6000ES offers great brightness, generated by a long-lasting laser light source, for vibrant images even on a large screen. It is available in either black or white. This model also features Sony’s all-new 0.61-inch SXRD panel and is combined with a Z-Phosphor™ laser light source delivering 2,500 lumens of ultra-pure light for high brightness, inky blacks, vibrant colors, rich tones and textures, clear cinematic motion, and image smoothness. This projector uses the same lens system as the VPL-XW7000ES for great clarity.

I have dealt with Sound and Vision for over 20 years, I am never disappointed in the quality of service that Eric, Curt, Jeff, Hector and others provide me. If I have an emergency they are always just a phone call away
Home Automation
We have worked with Sound and Vision for the past 20 years on multiple projects (big and small) and numerous evolutions of technology. They are the only home automation provider we use given the quality of the service and the responsiveness of the team.
Home Theater
They are amazing. We worked with them on a massive project remotely. We gutted and combined two units in a downtown high rise. We lived out of state while the project was designed, executed and then we moved in! Two years on, we still call them for service, changes and updates. AND it’s the same team that did our install! If you want a live recommendation, let Josie know you can call us. Highly recommend!
