Sony has announced two new projectors designed for home theaters: the VPL-VW325ES and VPL-VW1025ES. Both models feature native 4K support, according to Sony, which packed in features like its X1 projector picture processor and dynamic HDR enhancement. Both models are available now, but they come with substantial price tags.
The notable feature with both of these new Sony projectors is the inclusion of its ‘X1 for projector’ picture processor, which is based on the same tech found in the company’s BRAVIA televisions. The hardware has been, according to Sony, optimized for use in projectors to enable features like the aforementioned dynamic HDR enhancement.

In a win for home cinema buffs, Sony has cross-pollinated one of its key Sony Bravia TV technologies into its high-end 4K home cinema projectors, launching two new projectors in Australia that it said can “deliver real world detail and texture”.
The new models, the VPL-VW890ES and VPL-VW290ES can deliver 4096x2160 resolution with 8.8 million pixels for images four times better than Full HD. This is the same resolution as the models being replaced, the VPL-VW870ES and the VPL-VW270ES. However, Sony has made a number of performance updates to dynamic contrast and image detail that should make the new models’ image quality even better than before.
