Native 4K resolution for lifelike pictures
With more than four times the resolution of Full HD, native 4K offers
8.8 million pixels (4096 x 2160) for a picture that’s so incredibly
lifelike, it’s like looking at the real thing. This is the same
resolution defined by Digital Cinema Initiatives for cinema
distribution, with pixels one quarter the size of those used by
traditional Full HD 1080p projectors. See corner-to-corner clarity and
watch movies from much closer than you would in Full HD.
Watch for longer with a Z-Phosphor laser light
Inside the VPL-VW5000ES is an ultra-pure, reliable Z-Phosphor laser
light source. You'll enjoy perfectly clear 4K pictures plus up to 20,000
hours of uninterrupted operation, with no lamp replacement or maintenance.
Plays your "Mastered in 4K" discs
The "Mastered in 4K" collection includes classic films, remastered with
enhanced color and detail for Blu-ray Disc™. Play these discs with a
pixel resolution and color range that’s almost identical to the 4K
original. The movie is down-sampled from the original 4K source at a
high bitrate to Full HD, then upscaled using the same algorithm to 4K.
Colors come alive with TRILUMINOS®®
Discover true-to-life colors and tones. The VPL-VW5000ES incorporates
TRILUMINOS™ color, reproducing more tones and textures than a standard
projector system. Hard-to-reproduce crimson reds, aqua blues, and
emerald greens are displayed beautifully, so landscapes and seascapes
look more vivid. Faces look better, too, with skin tones more faithfully
reproduced.
Future-proofed support for the latest HDMI standards
The VPL-VW5000ES can project native 4K content at up to 60 frames per
second, for even smoother images with superior color and realism.
Support for HDCP 2.2 lets you enjoy the latest 4K movies and TV shows.
5000 lumens for spectacular brightness
Savor the action with an incredible 5000 lumens brightness, for high
contrast across the screen. A highly efficient Z-Phosphor laser light
generates the brightness required for vibrant images across the whole
screen.
4K SXRD™: Our most advanced projection technology
Our advanced SXRD™ (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) system features an
ultra-fast response rate of 2.5 milliseconds for clear, blur-free
images. The panels also minimize the space between the pixels — a feat not
achieved by comparable projection technologies—allowing our projectors
to deliver smoother images. Additionally, the decision to include three
SXRD™ panels means this projector can display each primary color
simultaneously, and with light passing through each panel twice, this
allows exceptionally deep blacks to be reproduced for a more powerful
viewing experience.
HDR compatibility: every image comes to life
Combined with 4K native resolution and a wider color gamut, HDR video
content delivers unprecedented detail, color and contrast, with a far
wider range of brightness than other video formats. The result is a
picture with lifelike realism, brilliant highlights, and fine detail.
HDR content is available from selected streaming services and the
upcoming 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray format.
Picture Position Memory stores your settings
Store lens, zoom, and shift settings for up to five screen formats for
easy recall. Picture Position Memory remembers key settings so you can
quickly watch movies in the ideal format. Match aspect ratios, including
16:9 and Cinemascope, and store these settings in the projector.
Flexible home installation
A +30° tilt capability gives you the flexibility to install your projector in a number of different rooms throughout the house.
High dynamic contrast for stunning realism
The VPL-VW5000ES’s SXRD™ panels and laser light source help the
projector achieve a high dynamic contrast. This means that the full
color spectrum — from deep, inky blacks through to vibrant reds, blues and
greens — is replicated with fine detail and realism, making every scene
spring to life for a truly immersive experience.
Reality Creation upscales your favorites
Upscale your existing Blu-ray Disc™ and DVD movies to near 4K quality.
The super-resolution Reality Creation 4K upscaler analyzes every pixel
in any direction, then employs a digital signal processing algorithm to
map pixels against an ever-evolving picture patterning database,
compiled from over 10 years of expertise, to enhance colors, contrast,
and textures.
Action stays smooth with Motionflow™
Whatever you’re watching, you’ll enjoy a silk-smooth on screen look in
fast-moving action sequences with Motionflow. This innovative technology
creates and inserts extra frames between the original frames by first
comparing key visual factors on successive frames then calculating the
split second of missing action in the sequences. True Theater 24p mode
mimics true movie projection for theater purists.
Built-in 3D transmitter synchronizes entertainment
Start watching 3D movies quicker. An industry-standard RF 3D transmitter
synchronizes the supplied glasses with your projector for a quick, easy
set-up. Upscale 2D films to 3D and enjoy classic movies in a whole new
dimension.
Select from nine picture calibration modes
Quickly calibrate the picture to what you’re watching or playing. Select
from nine picture calibration modes, including two theater film modes,
cinema digital, reference, TV, photo, game, bright cinema, and bright
TV. An advanced HSV manual color tuning tool gives you even more
control.
Quick start
Don’t keep your audience waiting for the show to begin. With quick start
and laser light source technology, you’re ready to start projection
right after switch-on.
