Wide Dynamic Range Optics

Sony's new Wide Dynamic Range Optics contribute to a compact design with better light control by maximizing the potential of the laser light source. The resulting higher color volume means naturally colorful images, even at high brightness levels, and stunning, immersive contrast.

Picture position Memory stores your settings

Lens focus, zoom, and shift settings for up to five screen formats can be stored for easy recall. Picture Position Memories remember these settings so you can quickly watch movies in the ideal format. Match aspect ratios, including 16:9 and Cinemascope, and store these settings in the projector.

Keystone Correction

Expands the install ability without sacrificing picture quality by keystone correction. By using with the Lens shift function and corner keystone correction in combination, it can be installed in rooms with difficult conditions such as higher ceilings and limited depth, where previous models could not be installed. With XR Clear Image, you can project while maintaining as much clarity as possible.

Incredibly compact native 4K laser projector

BRAVIA Projector 9 is designed to be even smaller and lighter than its predecessors by developing the all-new native 4K SXRD panel and compact Wide Dynamic Range Optics. This laser projector is about 20% smaller in volume and about 30% lighter than the VPL-VW915ES — with a new modern exterior designed to blend into any room.

4K Motionflow

The powerful video processor in BRAVIA Projector 9 offers Motionflow for smooth and clear motion, even when viewing 4K content. Motionflow is ideal for fast-moving sports content, as it adds frames to reduce blur while maintaining brightness. Cinema purists can choose True Theatre mode to retain the original 24 fps.

Input lag reduction
