Why this one
The smallest native 4K laser projector in its class, it fits standard living-room throw distances and delivers reference picture quality without a dedicated theater room.
True native 4K resolution
The 0.61-inch SXRD panels deliver 8.3 million individually addressable pixels — no pixel-shifting — producing sharper detail than any 4K PRO-UHD or DLP alternative in this price band.
Laser phosphor light engine
2,000 lumens from a laser phosphor source maintains consistent brightness and color accuracy for 20,000 hours without lamp replacements, and the instant on/off eliminates warm-up delays.
Reference-grade HDR tone mapping
Sony's dedicated HDR processor handles HDR10 and HLG with object-based tone mapping that preserves highlight detail in bright scenes while keeping shadow depth — performance that matches projectors costing twice as much.
