betty boop Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 SONY VPL-VW870ES FACE Here, the SONY VPL-VW870ES is unveiled a few days before the official launch at IFA 2018: Here is the press release of the brand translated: The Sony uses a laser light source Z-Phosphor Ultrapure ™ and reliable. This light source developed by Sony offers bright images for up to 20,000 hours of uninterrupted operation - no lamp replacement and virtually no maintenance. Presented in Sony's digital cinema projectors, SXRD (Silicon X-Tal Reflective Display) technology delivers images with a native resolution of 4K (4096 x 2160), with more than four times the detail of Full HD. The fine details are wonderfully clear and natural, with no jagged edges or visible pixels. SONY VPL-VW870ES SONY VPL-VW870ES The latest 4K SXRD panels offer even better contrast and native 4K resolution. SXRD projection offers rich, inlaid blacks, clear cinematic motion, and fluid image. Improvements to the panel's reflective silicon layer now provide better light control for accurately reproduced shadows and blacks. In addition to the dynamically controlled laser light output, an advanced iris is also incorporated. The iris control and the laser can be adjusted independently and dynamically to optimize light output for bright, well-lit dark scenes. The result is deeper blacks than ever, as well as vivid and vibrant colors where it's needed. The infinite dynamic contrast brings each scene to life with detail and realism. For superb image quality across the entire screen, the VPL-VW870ES features an All-Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens. This large aperture lens adopts an all-glass design for its 18 elements, including six ELD (Extra Low-Dispersion) elements. This ensures optimal convergence of the red, green and blue primaries even at the extreme edges of the image for a clear and vivid picture wherever you look. Optimal focusing is achieved not only optically but also numerically by the Digital Focus Optimiser. It compensates in advance for the possible optical degradation of the lens, and then produces the optimally corrected images, so that even the focus in the corners is better than ever.

Mobe1969 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I have the PDFs downloaded for the three but no idea how to attach those. I guess as the 870 is above the 760, and the 760 is still available, it will be a chunk more. That model does really pique my interest though... Interesting to see in a few days what JVC has too!

Javs Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) On 28/08/2018 at 3:41 PM, Tasso said: I think many JVC owners would also appreciate the ability to not lose so much light every time HDR/Bt 2020 is engaged. That would require better electronics from JVC to make this happen -something which may already be in the works. l agree that 100% of DCI P3 is desirable but I doubt that many would notice - the light loss from filters is unmistakable, but also manageable with the right installation. The bottom line is BT-2020 for projectors involves some form of compromise at this point in time, whether it be in the form of light loss or slightly less colour gamut. It’s only until you get to the Z1 with it’s 3000 lumen output that the light penalty of engaging an additional filter won’t really matter What? I can get 91% DCI right now without using my p3 filter in the JVC, you do know you can set it to still display bt2020 without one right? I always laugh how people say hitting 99% of people with a filter is some kind of con vs a unit with no filter at all. When you actually have the choice to use or not use a filter it trump's the lack of filter option every time. Also with my projector the light loss is only 7% it's hardly bad, and the extra colour noticeable and worth it. You got from 33fl to 30fl big deal Edited August 29, 2018 by Javs 2
TP1 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Sony 870ES has 2200 Lumen output and I am guessing they are using a similar light engine to the 760ES with tweaks. No mention of dual laser. Provided that they can achieve around 93% DCI-P3 without engaging a filter like the 760ES, that will be decent enough for big screen HDR. It seems Sony went to a lot of trouble developing the tech for high native P3 coverage which was first seen first seen in the 5000, although that model has a P3 filter as well. However, if a filter must be deployed, the 3000 lumen capability of the Z1 would do it better.

You got from 33fl to 30fl big deal I have checked with light meter, verifying light loss with my projector filter or no filter, its 2/5ths of stuff all ! granted I use a smaller screen but its one notch on the iris thats it ... if just I agree.... I'd rather the accuracy with the filter quite frankly

You got from 33fl to 30fl big deal Light loss from the JVC Z1 has been said to have up to 40% light loss with filter engaged. You are lucky with your 7% since a couple I have seen appear to have been severely affected when the filter is engaged . I don't think having a filter is a con , but I do know that people I have spoken to have been put off by HDR when they see light output dropping significantly. This plus light loss through lamp ageing needs to be factored in to the screen size etc.

This plus light loss through lamp ageing needs to be factored in to the screen size etc. There was an auto correction spelling mistake in my post. I meant to say you can set it up to use a filter, or not use a filter to show bt2020 not sure if that was obvious or not.Without is about 91% DCI and the filter is 99%.As for the light loss, across a couple jvc's now the trick is in how you calibrate it. Comes out to about 7% on all the lamp models. They aimed too high with the Z1 so the filter is quite extreme on that one. They should be shooting for 100% p3 and not 107% like they did.

Yes - I picked that up and will advise concerned owners accordingly. It is a good solution in some situations.
TP1 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 An interesting take on contrast specs for those looking at buying new projectors.
Javs Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 4 hours ago, Tasso said: An interesting take on contrast specs for those looking at buying new projectors. You will never get your room to display ANSI contrast any greater than about 400:1 on the actual screen despite having a display able to project higher, that is unless you have a one in a million room with absolutely incredible velvet treatments on every single surface. On/OFF is very important because its closer to where the real content level lies with most films. Most content averages near 5% ADL. So actually the most important contrast specs would be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5% ADL. Been through this in depth over on AVS. What you are proposing would mean a DLP with 550:1 ANSI and only 1000:1 native contrast would trump a JVC with 320:1 ANSI and 160,000:1 native contrast. That could not be further from the truth and that is because near black contrast is for more important than ANSI. 1

Yes, I have compared my previous DLP to current JVC and Sony and the DLP loses out overall for contrast in a totally dark room . However, the DLP did do some scenes better, particularly with shadow detail . I think it is also worth reminding people if they are contemplating having ambient light in the room with these high contrast projectors, the light will raise the black levels and destroy contrast.
