The newest Sony 4K home theater projector utilize an X1 processor that has been optimized for projector applications Way back in the fall of 2016, Sony’s highly rated flagship Z9D flat-panel TV featured the brand new X1 processor, and last year Sony began equipping their new 4K home theater projectors (like the VW325ES) with a version of the same X1 processor that has been optimized for projectors. While the processing in Sony flat-panel TVs evolves every year, it has been a while since they updated the brains of their home theater projectors. Superior processing separates Sony’s video displays from the competition. In this example, the difference in resolution is noticeable from a normal viewing distance.

Suppose you do a side-by-side comparison of a true 4K projector versus a 1080P or pixel-shifting projector, using highly detailed content. While pixel shifting improves detail it is not as sharp as native 4K A native 4K display can reproduce more detail 4K Content shown on a pixel shifting Projector 4K Content shown on a native 4K Projector This image shows the resolution difference between a Sony 4K SXRD unit and an HD projector utilizing pixel shifting when native 4K content is displayed Unlike some competitor 2K pixel shifting projectors, it can faithfully reproduce all 8.8 million pixels.

While most 4K UHD flat panels have a resolution of 3840x2160, the VPL-VW325ES is a native 4K projector so it delivers the same 4096 x 2160 resolution as your favorite 4K movie theater projector. These three SXRD panels eliminates the possibility of the Rainbow Effect (Color Breakup) seen on many single chip DLP projectors and it also minimizes the "screen door effect" (blocky image distortions) compared to most 3LCD projectors. It delivers more native contrast than the standard LCD panels or DLP chips used in most consumer projectors. All Sony 4K Home Theater Projectors including the VW325ES utilize SXRD panels This three-chip 4K SXRD imaging system is very similar to what is utilized in Sony 4K cinema projectors that are found in the best movie theaters in the world. However, lets quickly summarize some of the most notable Sony features found on the VW325ES.įirst, all Sony 4K Home Theater projectors (including the VW325ES) use Sony's 4K SXR D (4096 x 2160) panels which is Sony's version of LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon). Since a lot of the common Sony features found in our older special features section was repetitive, it can now all be found on the new Sony Feature Explanation page or you can click any of the bolded/highlighted term to access a more detailed definition.


The VW325ES utilizes many of Sony’s popular features and proprietary technologies discussed in great detail in our reviews of the VW915ES and VW715ES.
