    Sony has really upped their game for their entry-level price point with the VPL-XW5000. You get a very bright laser light engine with the same video processor found in their top-of-the-line GTZ380, and a new panel set designed for better contrast. This one is going to be very hard to beat!
    At Audio Advice, we have been fans of Sony projectors for decades. Sony, as a company, is so deep in the complete process - from filming making to commercial cinemas - we have always felt they offered incredible projectors for the home theater market. Every year or two, when it's time for new models, we can’t wait to see what they came up with to improve what was already an outstanding product. For 2022, we were really lucky as Sony chose Audio Advice to get an exclusive look at the new models weeks before they announced them to the public. We all had to sign NDA’s and be sworn to secrecy, as this year, the changes were huge! The new units even came in large custom Pelican cases. While we only had them for a limited time, we did get to put them through their paces in 3 different locations, and everyone who saw one of these could not believe how much they offered for their cost.

      @@AudioAdvice I thought about getting the new entry-level 5000, I must have put that thing in my cart a few times already this past week, only to cancel it. I don't have a "bat cave" per se. I use a grey 110inch 16:9 screen in a rather odd-shaped room with a high angled sloped ceiling (white), which almost practically illuminates ATMOS speakers, and the projector is a Sony ES45 1080P 1800lumans. The 5000 is 2000 lumens and of course, 4k. Wish they would have bumped it to 2200 lumens. My question is WHY did SONY replace the 4096x2160 SXRD chip in the previous models with only a 3840x2160 SXRD chip?

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  Před 2 lety +5

      @@nebtheweb8885 Yes, the change is confusing but the reality is the 4096 x 2160 chip was designed initially by the SONY digital cinema division and then transferred to the home division, with home theater the most popular aspect ratio is 4K UHD 16.9(3840x2160) so the extra pixel structure on left and right was almost never used, also since the chip was wider(17.9), when using 16.9 screens there was a noticeable light overspread on left and right, especially when the screen was over a white wall.
      Since they were redesigning the new chip to make it more effective and with better contrast, Sony engineers decided it was appropriate to use the most popular aspect ratio for home theater use

    Reasons I chose this projector over the LS12000:
    I have a 120” 16:9 screen which is basically as wide as I can go in my room. Therefore, when I watch a 2.4:1 movie, my screen width is still maxed out and I can mask off the top and bottom bars.
    Lens memory is irrelevant because of what I stated above.
    Lack of HDMI 2.1 is an overblown excuse for not choosing the Sony. The truth is most PS5 games are really only targeting 4k60 anyway and a lot are still only in 1080p. When a game is played in 4k120, it is giving up a lot of fine details. Sony also makes the PS5. You would think they might have included that if they really thought it would make a notable difference.
    Lack of HDR 10+ or Dolby Vision also irrelevant as projectors will not be able to get anywhere close to the light output needed for those formats. The built in processor in the Sony will maximize what HDR image the projector is actually able to achieve.

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for your question. There is no WIFI onboard. A lot of folks use a home theater receiver with their projector. For example, the LAN port will let you connect the projector to your home network for a stable hardwired connection with a home theater receiver or even to your router. The receiver would then allow you to connect up to two A/V sources out to this projector over HDMI cable. If your laptop has an HDMI output or another A/V output using an adapter, you could also connect an A/V source directly to this projector such as a laptop. There are other projectors that also could work this way. Come have a chat with one of our projector experts so that we can help you determine if this model is the right projector for your needs - audioadvice.io/aa-chat - Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

    I could use some help. First of all thanks for the video. You guys helped me choose this project over the Epson which was a hard choice for me because of my years of Epson projector owner experience.
    This projector is amazing but I cannot figure out how to do 4k and HDR at the same time. I'm using the PS5 as my 4k player but the PlayStation says my device can only support HDR in 1080p, not 4k. I thought my receiver was bottle necking my signal but I get the same error when I plug the PS5 directly into the projector. I cannot wrap my novice mind around it.

    After owning projectors for the last decade or so, I will seriously consider a large size TV on my next upgrade for my small home theater room. There are many 85"+ smart TVs available for less than $2k, so yes price is a big factor for me as well as fan noise, energy efficiency (?) and heat generated. If my theater room was much bigger, then a projector would be the only option for now.

      I went the opposite: had a 50'' Pioneer Plasma for years, changed that now for a 65'' LG Oled and additionally I put a 120'' Screen in front of the TV (built in the ceiling). Beamer is on the the back of the room (beamer lift, integrated in a light voute) and so we can choose now (for daily stuff the TV for movies the big screen).
      The price difference from 64 to 77 with the G1 LG would have been 1500 Euro. And 77'' is way off 120''. 100'' TVs are really expensive too so in the same size, the Beamer/big screen combination is imho better bang for the buck (ok, if I had bought a Stuart screen than the calculation would be a litte different 🙂).

    Obviously an exciting release from Sony, and a great response to the recent JVC models. So great to see some more competition finally in this price range along with the Epson LS12000.
    Regarding 3D the writeup on Projector Central states that it does support 3D, so I think there is some confusion somewhere.
    HDR - how does Sony's system compare to JVC's dynamic tone mapping, which has been the gold standard in that for the last few years? Will be exciting to see full reviews come out on this.

    The manual lens shifting, zooming and focus is a deal breaker for me. It's such a shame to spend this kind of coin and not get that courtesy.

    How this stacks up against LS12000 that is also Epson's new value banger? 120hz/4K, HDMI 2.1, cheaper, motorized lens, bit brighter, better lens. Sony has X1 Ultimate processor so better processing, better contrast, motion. Manual lens sure is a downer, also their quality.

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  Před 2 lety

      We like the Epson projectors as well. If you want to do a 2.40 widescreen, the LS12000 is a great value. But it is pixel shifting to get 4K and the Sony does have a better processor, however you have to more than double the price to get to the 6000 and lens memory for widescreen. Hope this helps and thanks for watching

  • @kubectlgetpo
    @kubectlgetpo Před 2 lety +1

    How can a projector be "Native" 4K? It's either capable of 4K resolution pixels projection, or its not. Native 4K CONTENT makes sense, that whether its upscaled or not.

    • @ryankramer
      @ryankramer Před 2 lety +3

      It's the method of how it's achieved. The Epson 12000 for example uses 4 way pixel shifting 1080p panels and can display a 4k pattern of native 4k content. You could put it side by side with other actual 4k native panel projectors and probably not be able to tell a difference. But since the Epson doesn't use a native 4k panel in projecting, images in motion behave slightly different. In particular, if you were gaming in 4k with no anti-aliasing, you might see edges look slightly jagged. Now understand, you'd need to be standing 5 feet away from a 120" screen looking really close to see these differences.
      At the end of the day, from what I've seen in person, the pixel shifting is more than good enough for the perceived resolution, and the attention of the manufacturer should instead be placed elsewhere. (Better contrast, higher brightness.)
