Product details

Experience it for yourself! Breathtaking clarity in 4K without compromise.

Bring the excitement and thrill of true 4K cinema images into your home. The VPL-VW520ES home theater projector is also available in a modern white premium casing – a stylish addition to any interior.

The latest SXRD technology delivers incredible 4K images with four times the resolution of Full HD. You’ll experience rich colors, a brightness of 1,800 lumens, and an astonishing contrast ratio of 300,000:1 – for vibrant, detailed images with native 4K resolution that look sharp and clear even in daylight.

With compatibility for the latest 4K standards and HDR (High Dynamic Range), you are future-proofed and can make the most of today’s and tomorrow’s content. The color calibration can easily be reset to the original factory configuration without hassle. The compact VPL-VW520ES seamlessly integrates into any home theater or living room. The fan is so quiet that it won’t disturb the movie, and the wide zoom/lens shift range along with the front exhaust further enhance installation flexibility. The projector’s long-lasting lamp has a rated lifespan of up to 6,000 hours (in “low” mode), resulting in fewer interruptions and lower maintenance costs.

  • PositiveExcellent image quality
  • PositiveSuperior contrast

    Sony's flagship projector is bursting with power. The 4K projector achieves 4,096 x 2,160 pixels, is capable of HDR and has a unique contrast ratio of 300,000:1. The 1,800 lumens are also acceptable. The display quality is excellent and just screams for a movie night. 3D is also built into the white giant, but here you need shutter glasses (not included)...
