Know before you buy
Yes, the VPL-VW695ES features native 4K resolution with 4096 x 2160 pixels, ensuring you get the full detail intended by filmmakers without pixel shifting.
Absolutely. The projector includes a dedicated low latency mode that reduces input lag, making it a great choice for 4K HDR 60P gaming where quick reaction times are essential.
This feature allows you to save specific lens settings, such as zoom and shift, so you can instantly switch between different aspect ratios like 16:9 and 2.35:1 without manually adjusting the lens every time.
Yes, the projector supports 3D, but you will need to purchase compatible 3D glasses separately and ensure your player and content are also 3D-ready.
With 1,800 lumens of brightness, this projector performs best in a light-controlled environment. While it is bright enough for a dedicated home theater, you will get the best contrast and color depth in a room where you can minimize ambient light.
Sony's SXRD technology uses three separate imagers to deliver full color brightness and high contrast. This results in smooth, film-like images with deep blacks and excellent motion handling.
