Product Reviews
Awesome 2d 4k performance, disappointing 3d
I have had the VPL-VW1000ES projector for almost 2 years now, and just recently got the upgrade to the VPL-VW1100ES which required replacement of the motherboard by a Sony tech, and addition of the 4k Sony player (and an extra $2,500). I have a > 200” high gain screen. In 2d, with the contrast maxed out, the brightness and color up, and lamp on full iris, it produces a gorgeous picture. 3D however is so dim, it is un-watchable. Even with all the settings for brightness maxed out, all except the brightest of scenes are dim. Animation tends to look a little better in 3d than live action, but it is still dim.Watching native 4k from the demos included in the 4k 2TB hard drive player is an eye-popping treat. Standing a nose away from the projection on the screen, no pixilation is visible, only the contour of the screen itself can be seen. This projector up-scales 1080p blurays to 4k, and they come out beautiful. The 4k movies available through the sony player however are no better than the blu-rays, so don’t waist your money paying an extra $10 to $15 for the 4k versions. We will have to wait until some movies come out in native 4k to see any real difference.READ MORE
(StudioTek 130) On 3D material in a darkened room I have great results and is a pleasure to watch
I have to disagree somewhat with the previous reviewer on two of his points but wholeheartedly agree with his review of 2D material. Although my screen is 150” compared to his 200” my screen is micro-perforated Stewart which reduces the brightness of the screen.(StudioTek 130) On 3D material in a darkened room I have great results and is a pleasure to watch. Plenty brightness in my room at night. Not for daytime viewing. If you need inexpensive 3D glasses order PS3 type but be ready for many defective ones; in fact I had to order 12 pairs to get 4 working ones. As to 4K material from the Sony 4K media streamers either FMP-X10 or FMP-X1 I definitely see an improvement over the 1080 versions. In comparison of a 70mm transfer such as Lawrence Of Arabia there is such an improvement that when I went back to the 1080P Bluray version I felt it appeared a little soft and was similar to DVD to Blu Ray comparison although not quite as apparent. If you have a direct view TV under 70” there will be less difference. I have owned many Sony projectors and prior to the VPL-VW1100ES I used the Qualia and the LG CF181D(based on Sony chips). The 1100ES was the first projector I have had that surpassed the Qualia and it did so in every important criteria. The main difference with the 1100ES over the 600ES is the quality of the 18 element ARC-F lens. It will be well worth it to purchase a used 1100ES over a new 600ES and you also get some extra brightness.READ MORE
Information for those lacking
I noticed some misinformation in the reviews.4k isn’t a standard, it basically means horizontal rez of approximately 4000 pixels.As far as I know, there are THREE standards.UHD-1 is also called 2160p as it has a resolution of 3840 × 2160, that’s 2x 1080p.UW4K is the ultra-wide 4K standard, with a resolution of 3840 × 1600.DCI 4K which has a resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels, MEANING 4096p!!!!! (Some reviewer claimed it was made up?)READ MORE

Good rigREAD MORE
Buy, buy, buy!
I purchased 3 of these and point them all at the same screen. Boom! I now have 12k! Sure it melts the paint off the wall, and I have to wear three pairs of 3D glasses, but it’s worth it. I now have seen into the 4th dimension and wow, it’s beautiful.READ MORE

That moment when…
That moment when a projector is more expensive than your car… 5⁄5 Would sell my car to buy it again.
Incorrect description - watch out!!!
I am sure this is a top performing 4K projector, but the advertiser has gotten his numbers wrong by saying it is 4096p.
Why save money?
I was tired of paying $15 to see a movie at the theatre so i bought this but apparently you’re not allowed to use their screens…
Google meets screen
Using this projector with my chromecast is amazing. My phone apps look beautiful!
Couldn’t connect my game cube
I couldn’t connect my game cube and that is the only console I have.. Can’t afford any new consoles because I spent all my money on this projector.. It does good as a paper weight
$$GTFO$$
I’m sure our lousy Emporer and Mooch probably own one of these insanely expensive projectors for each room in their soon to be lifetime vacation house after ruining America for…
Perfect projector for watching 60 Minutes
comments powered by DisqusI enjoy watching 60 Minutes for the riveting coverage. There is nothing quite like watching Morley Safer and Steve Kroft in stunning 4k resolution. I love it.
