![]() This extra light combines with a trio of new 0.61-inch SXRD chips that are the smallest Sony has ever managed to produce. ![]() That’s a cool 500 lumens more than you got with its VW290ES predecessor – enough to potentially transform picture quality with HDR sources. The XW5000ES’s laser lighting is rated to deliver a peak light output of 2000 lumens. This shows that the projector has been evaluated by IMAX as capable of doing justice to the special mastering system used to deliver exceptionally pristine pictures from IMAX Enhanced content. The XW5000ES benefits, too, from a new Triluminos Pro colour engine that Sony claims can reach as much as 95 per cent of the digital cinema world’s DCI-P3 colour gamut, while the projector’s long list of picture presets reveals another new feature: an IMAX Enhanced mode. The XW5000ES’s so-called Reference picture preset actually turns the Dynamic HDR Enhancer off, but we feel confident most viewers will prefer to leave it on, probably set to its Middle setting. The Dynamic HDR Enhancer is available in Low, Medium and High levels of intensity, or can be turned off altogether. This incredibly clever system analyses incoming content so that it can pick out relative bright highlights and increase their intensity without damaging/changing other elements of the picture. Perhaps the single most important element of the XW5000ES’s processing system, though, is the Dynamic HDR Enhancer. Especially with Sony’s long-running Reality Creation option on hand to deliver what for our money is the projection world’s finest sharpness boosting feature. The ability of this processor to break images down into different elements that can all be treated differently, rather than the whole image being treated the same way, should help pictures look more three-dimensional and natural. Previously only available on Sony’s uber-expensive GTZ380 flagship projector, the X1 Ultimate platform adds such features as digital contrast optimisation, object-based HDR remastering and object-based resolution enhancement to the enhanced upscaling, clarity-boosting Reality Creation and key Dynamic HDR Enhancer features provided by the previous X1 for Projector processor found on 2021’s VW290ES. Starting with the fact that despite its affordability by Sony 4K laser projector standards, it still benefits from the brand’s new X1 Ultimate processing. While this sums up the XW5000ES’s star attractions, though, there’s lots of other important stuff to talk about as well. Let’s state this again in case you haven’t been paying attention: the XW5000ES combines a native 4K resolution using Sony’s proprietary SXRD projection technology with laser lighting for just £5999 / $5998 / AUS$9990. ![]()
