Sony is launching a new range of native 4K home cinema projectors powered by the company’s new X1 picture processor. The refreshed VPL series comprises the VPL-VW590ES (£6,999), VPL-VW790ES (£11,999), and the flagship VPL-GTZ380 (£79,999). All three offer advanced processing and HDR enhancement thanks to the extra power provided by the X1, but the GTZ380 is undoubtedly the pick of the bunch. The high-end projector incorporates a newly-developed 0.74in native 4K SXRD panel and delivers 10,000 lumen brightness, 16,000:1 contrast, and vibrant DCI-P3 colour in a compact body. It also utilizes a more powerful ‘Ultimate for projector’ version of the X1 in combination with a Z-Phosphor laser light source to beam out native 4K images without any loss of brightness and pin-point colour accuracy. Not bad if you’ve got a spare £80k lying around.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
