It's compatible with the HDR10 and HLG HDR formats to provide more realistic and detailed contrast with compatible content. Two HDMI inputs let you plug in your cable/satellite box and gaming console.

Native 4K UHD SXRD Panel
Immerse yourself in an incredibly lifelike picture with native 4K that offers 8.3 million pixels. With a 0.61" SXRD panel, you'll enjoy high brightness, inky blacks, vibrant colors, rich tones and textures, plus clear cinematic motion and image smoothness.
Wide Dynamic Range Optics
Sony's Wide Dynamic Range Optics contribute to a compact design with better light control by maximizing the potential of the laser light source. The resulting higher color volume means naturally colorful images, even at high brightness levels, and stunning, immersive contrast.
Flagship-Level X1 Ultimate for Projector
X1 Ultimate for projector optimizes Sony's acclaimed BRAVIA TV video processing for projection. The power of this video engine enables advanced data processing, with real-time enhancement of each on-screen object. The result is high dynamic range imagery with augmented texture, color, contrast, and realism.
Object-Based HDR Remaster
Object-Based HDR Remaster analyses the color of individual objects on screen and adjusts the contrast, resulting in more realistic pictures with greater depth and texture.
Dynamic HDR Enhancer
Dynamic HDR Enhancer processes HDR content scene-by-scene and enhances the contrast in combination with laser output control, bringing you bright 4K HDR images.
Object-Based Super Resolution
Object-Based Super Resolution technology detects individual objects in a picture and enhances each one for exceptional accuracy and detail.
Dual-Database Processing
Two powerful image improvement databases work together to improve picture quality in real time. One database helps reduce on-screen noise, while the other is used to upscale the resolution.
Digital Focus Optimizer
By analyzing every pixel and detecting possible degradation in advance, the Digital Focus Optimizer corrects the image quality so that the focus is better than ever, even in the corners.
True-to-Life Colors with TRILUMINOS PRO
See over a billion colors come to life with TRILUMINOS PRO. The TRILUMINOS PRO algorithm can detect color from saturation, hue, and brightness to reproduce natural shades in every detail. You'll enjoy colors that are closer to those seen in the real world.
Wide Color Volume
Enjoy spectacular brightness and stunning realism, thanks to Wide Dynamic Range Optics that achieve a 95% DCI-P3 wide color gamut.
IMAX Enhanced
Sony 4K projectors are compatible with IMAX Enhanced content, making them ready to deliver the bigger, more breathtaking IMAX visuals you love with compatible content. Take advantage of the size of your projector screen with movies that become even more immersive with IMAX Enhanced.
Compact Design
Sony designed the VPL-XW5000ES to be even smaller and lighter than its predecessors by developing the Native 4K SXRD panel and compact Wide Dynamic Range Optics. This laser projector is about 30% smaller in volume and about 35% lighter than the VPL-VW915ES, delivering the same high brightness.
A Smart Addition to Your Smart Home
Integrate the VPL-XW5000ES into your home automation and remote monitoring systems. The projector supports Control4, Crestron, Savant, and AMX, as well as OvrC and Domotz, so you can enjoy a smarter, more convenient entertainment experience.
Enduring Brightness from a Laser Light Source
You'll never have to worry about changing the lamp in your home cinema projector; no lamp replacement and virtually no maintenance are required. The projector uses an ultra-pure and reliable laser light source, which lets you enjoy clear 4K pictures at optimal brightness for up to 20,000 uninterrupted hours.
4K Motionflow
The video processor offers Motionflow for smooth and clear motion, even when viewing 4K content. Motionflow is ideal for fast-moving sports content, as it adds frames to reduce blur while maintaining brightness. Cinema purists can choose True Theatre Mode to retain the original 24 fps frame rate.
Input Lag Reduction
Enjoy the latest games lag-free on the big screen. All of Sony's 4K projectors include input lag reduction that enables the player's input to be reflected on screen without delay. The projector supports 4K 60 Hz input with an input lag under 21 ms, and Full HD 120 Hz input with an input lag under 13 ms.
Anamorphic Lens Compatibility for 4K Signals (V-Stretch for 4K)
Wide lens compatibility means you can use your legacy anamorphic lenses with ease, even with 4K content. Watch your content in your favorite formats with a full-size picture, thanks to the V-stretch function.
Designed with the Environment in Mind
To reduce the projector's carbon footprint, Sony created a mercury-free design with a laser light source. They also reduced the amount of virgin plastic used in the main body by more than 25% and the packaging materials by more than 15% compared to the VPL-VW915ES.
