SONY HAS ANNOUNCED THREE NEW NATIVE 4K PROJECTORS
Sony has announced the imminent arrival of three new native 4K resolution home theatre projectors for Australia.
The range includes the entry-level VW270ES ($7,999 RRP), the mid-tier VW570ES ($11,999 RRP) and the premium VW870ES ($35,999 RRP), all of which it says deliver benchmark performance at their respective price point.
According to Bruce Thierbach, General Manager Sales & Marketing for Audio Active which distributes Sony projectors in Australia:
All three projectors come with evolved 4K Motionflow technology, which displays smoother and clearer images by using extra frames to reduce blur, making these projectors perfect for fast moving scenes such as when watching sport.
Delivering stunning, detail package images and incredibly lifelike colour, Sony's new range produces true native 4K resolution (4096 x 2160) thanks to its SXRD panels. In other words, there's no pixel-shifting or clever mirror tricks here.
The three modes are also IMAX Enhanced, which is a new licensing and certification home entertainment program. To qualify and carry the IMAX Enhanced logo, the highest-end TVs, projectors, sound bars, and AV receivers must meet stringent performance standards established by IMAX, DTS and Hollywood’s leading colourists to create a consistent and higher bar for image and sound performance on premium devices.
The new models will be available in November 2018 from authorised Sony projector retailers.
If you've already signed up for Foxtel's upcoming 4K channel, the time is right to jump on the native 4K projector train for the very latest in high-definition Summer sports season.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
