Product Information
”Its picture quality is truly, madly, transportively magnificent, enjoying levels of detail, colour volume, brightness and three-dimensionality, especially with HDR visuals, that we’ve just never seen before.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Home cinema perfection
Designed for the most striking clarity, the Sony BRAVIA Projector 9 (also known as the VPL-XW8100ES) delivers a sensational viewing experience. Following a long line of award-winning projectors, this latest Sony uses an all-new Native 4K SXRD panel for vivid colour and wide dynamic range. It’s brighter than ever and, with Live Colour Enhancer enhances the colour gamut, without oversaturation. With a new XR Processor onboard, picture processing has taken a big leap forward, with XR Dynamic Tone Mapping transforming picture content.
Live Colour Enhancer and outstanding brightness
With an outstanding brightness figure of 3400 lumens, the BRAVIA Projector 9 brings a new level of image intensity and improved viewing in rooms with higher levels of ambient lighting. For the most lifelike colour, Live Colour Enhancer selectively expands the colour gamut, in real time. This gives you vivid HDR images, without unnatural oversaturation. Whether you’re watching in a darkened room or during daylight conditions, this reference Sony BRAVIA projector brings the truest colour possible.
XR Dynamic Range Tone Mapping for the best brightness, frame-by-frame
Featuring a powerful XR Processor, the BRAVIA Projector 9 optimises picture brightness, frame-by-frame. XR Dynamic Tone Mapping analyses the peak brightness and delivers the optimal colour graduation, improving not just the brightness but also the colour realism, too. With the brightness figure now standing at 3400 lumens, it’s brighter than ever. The sophisticated processing also converts standard SDR signals to HDR, maximising the colour from your older movies.
XR Deep Black for stunning contrast
Working alongside XR Dynamic Tone Mapping, XR Deep Black controls the laser dimming in darker scenes, producing pitch black areas, while still maintaining tone and texture in surrounding sections. This helps images ‘pop’ from a darker background, giving the picture greater depth and intensity.
Focused on clarity
Sony’s XR Clear Image processing enhances picture detail, with the benefit of reducing noise and image distortion. By cross-analysing the image, super-resolution processing is applied to each object in a scene, emphasising the texture and clarity for the most detailed picture yet.
See vivid, real-world colour
As well as being brighter and more detailed, the Sony BRAVIA Projector 9 benefits from incredible, real-world colour. Sony’s expansive XR Triluminos Pro colour palette faithfully reproduces the slightest differences in shade, saturation and hue, making the colour the most natural possible.
Advanced Crisp-Focused lens for lower distortion
Sony’s ACF (Advanced Crisp-Focused) lens uses a 70mm aspherical front lens glass that widens the area of focus. A wider area of focus means you get sharper images at the edge of the picture – especially in the corners. Lens distortion is further reduced via the floating focus system and extra-low dispersion glass. It all makes for a lens that does full justice to the sophisticated panels and powerful processing behind the scenes.
Digital Keystone correction for ideal image alignment
With Digital Keystone correction, each corner of the image can be individually adjusted. This improves the picture uniformity, especially if the installation position is outside of the ideal parameters.
IMAX Enhanced picture mode
What better way to take advantage of IMAX Enhanced content than on a big, projected screen. IMAX Enhanced uses their proprietary digital remastering technology (DMR), delivering ultra-vivid images. It brings IMAX Enhanced content to ‘life’ with depth of image and picture intensity to truly wow you.
4K Motionflow makes it smooth
Whatever you're watching, you'll enjoy liquid smoothness during fast-moving action scenes with Motionflow. This innovative technology creates and inserts extra frames between the originals. First, by comparing key visual factors on successive frames, then calculating each split-second of missing action, you won’t miss a thing.
Better than ever for gaming
Now fitted with HDMI 2.1 compliant inputs, the BRAVIA Projector 9 is better than ever for the latest gaming technology. Supporting ALLM and 4K/120Hz gaming, your onscreen experience is smoother and faster paced than ever. Input lag has dropped to 12ms, giving you a more direct contact with the action.
Partner with your home cinema control
If you’ve invested in a high-end projector like this, the chances are that it’s just part of an exciting home automation system. The Sony BRAVIA Projector 9 integrates seamlessly with a wide range of home automation control products. Supporting Control4, Crestron, Savant, AMX and more, this projector effortlessly blends into your home control system.
Compact size
More compact and less intrusive than many high-end projectors, the BRAVIA Projector 9 is easier to place in your room. The crisp styling blends in harmoniously meaning that, if you don’t have a dedicated cinema room, the projector is much easier on the eye in your living room than other models.
Elevate your home cinema to reference standard, with the Sony BRAVIA Projector 9.
