Sony’s Reality Creation detail enhancement applies sharpening to any resolution, including 4K, but is so sophisticated that it achieves this without introducing distracting artefacts. Feed the XW7000ES a high quality 1080p source, you’ll be rewarded with an upscaled picture that makes full use of the projector’s more than eight million pixels, producing images that are expertly rendered so they appear clean, detailed and free of unwanted artefacts. The big selling point of a Sony projector is its image processing, and the X1 Ultimate processor doesn’t disappoint. But in a room with lighter coloured walls, the brightness of the laser puts this projector into a class of its own. The black levels are good, but not quite as inky as the JVC projectors, and the deepest shadows sometimes appear slightly crushed. The Reference picture mode proves very accurate out of the box, and the extensive calibration controls can be used to dial in a near-perfect picture. You can change the laser brightness to suit your screen, while the Dynamic Control adjusts contrast. If you feel you need more punch you could use the Bright Cinema picture mode, but it’s not as accurate, resulting in blue-tinged whites and over-saturated colours. The black levels and contrast performance are both excellent, as is the image accuracy in the Reference picture mode. It also has a claimed lifespan of 20,000 hours, so you’ll never have to worry about changing a lamp, plus the laser itself delivers a consistent colour performance and doesn’t dim significantly over its long life. If you have a really large screen, there’s no need to worry, because this beamer has a phosphor laser light source that can reach a blindingly bright 3,200 lumens. All of which basically means you’ll get pin-sharp pictures across the entire screen – no matter how big that screen is. The Sony VPL-XW7000ES delivers awesome big screen pictures, thanks to its native 4K (3840 x 2160) chipset combined with Sony’s Advanced Crisp-Focused (ACF) lens that results in detailed and distortion-free images, along with wider dynamic range optics. Disappointingly, and rather inexplicably, neither model includes HDMI 2.1 inputs. Those with more constrained budgets can take a look at the VPL-XW5000ES, although this drops a number of key features. The XW7000ES is a high-end model, with a claimed brightness of 3,2000 lumens, plus an extensive set of features that includes motorised lens controls and memories, along with support for 3D. It also employs the X1 Ultimate for Projector processor first introduced on the flagship VPL-GTZ380, along with Sony’s Dynamic HDR Enhancer and Motionflow technology. The Sony VPL-XW7000ES is the latest addition to the company’s line-up of native 4K projectors, all of which now use a laser light source for increased brightness, improved consistency, and a much longer lifespan.
