Sony is heralding a new era of home displays, introducing its new VPL-VZ1000ES ultra-short throw 4K HDR home theater projector at CES 2017.
The gadget is nothing short of impressive, but it will cost a pretty penny to own. More specifically, interested customers should be prepared to shell out a hefty $25,000 for this baby.
Sony has offered some pretty impressive short throw projectors over the years, but the new VPL-VZ1000ES model takes the cake. The new 4K HDR projector can be set as close as 6 inches away from the 100-inch projection plane, and it will ace the challenge with ease.
Sony VPL-VZ1000ES Ultra-Short Throw Projector Features
The new ultra-short throw projector can work its magic from such a short distance thanks to the Sony-Z Phosphor laser projection engine and high-end optics that can Keystone an image that would have otherwise been quite tough to project at such a short range.
Nevertheless, the impressively powerful Sony VPL-VZ1000ES ultra-short throw projector can easily handle projecting a 100-inch or even 120-inch 4K image from 6 inches, paving the way to a world of new possibilities for interior design.
Sony's new ultra-short throw projector measures 36 x 20 x 9 inches (925 x 494 x 219 millimeters) in size, and its sleek black metal design won't be an eyesore in the room. At the same time, the new VPL-VZ1000ES is roughly 40 percent smaller than Sony's previous short throw projector, which came with its own furniture setup that took up more space. In fact, the new projector is quite discreet overall, at least until you roll down the screen and start projecting vivid images.
