Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sony VPL-VW290ES is a huge step-up compared with the pixel-shifting 4K projectors we've seen. Super Resolution Reality Creation and Dynamic HDR Enhancer features should offer some improvements. Even the dark and dingy scenes in the underground workshop are brought to life with this SXRD projector's improved contrast handling.
Pros
- Bright, punchy picture
- Super Resolution and Dynamic HDR Enhancer
- Easy to set up
Cons
- Limited contrast
