The BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) is the latest Native 4K SXRD laser projector from Sony joining the existing BRAVIA Projector 9 & 8 to deliver a professional-grade cinematic HDR experience in the home.
(Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 7 April 2025): Sony has today announced the latest addition to its line-up of BRAVIA®, the BRAVIA Projector 7, powered by BRAVIA XR Processor for projector, which optimises Sony’s pioneering BRAVIA TV video processing for projection. The new projector joins the existing comprehensive BRAVIA line up, with the BRAVIA Projector 9 (VPL-XW8100ES) and BRAVIA Projector 8 (VPL-XW6100ES) announced in September 2024.
Delivering an immersive cinematic experience
Powered by XR Processor for projector and high brightness technology, Sony’s new BRAVIA projector 7 benefits from the same spectacular technology found in the existing BRAVIA projector 9 & 8. XR Processor for projector enables four powerful picture features – XR Dynamic Tone Mapping, XR Deep Black, XR TRILUMINOUS PRO and XR Clear Image to deliver a professional-grade cinematic experience. XR Dynamic Tone Mapping analyses peak brightness frame by frame, and delivers optimal tone mapping, showcasing images with rich gradation, high brightness, and brilliant colours.
In addition, XR Deep Black controls powerful laser dimming in dark scenes, bringing deeper blacks while maintaining tone and colour expression. XR Deep Black improves power efficiency by optimising laser output frame by frame. Plus, over a billion colours are brought to life by the XR TRILUMINOS PRO feature and refined by XR Clear Image technology, which upscales all imagery to 4K quality by using a vast database to intelligently recreate lost texture and detail, all while minimising noise.
Like the BRAVIA Projector 9 and 8, BRAVIA Projector 7 is compatible with IMAX Enhanced content, ready to deliver bigger, more breathtaking IMAX visuals for a more immersive viewing experience.
Sony’s wide variety of products such as digital cinema cameras, professional monitors, and professional headphones have been widely utilised by film production professionals, allowing the company to deeply understand the cinema industry and the intention of filmmakers and content creators. The new line-up of BRAVIA projectors, TVs and soundbars connects creators and viewers, allowing the ultimate cinematic experience to shine in the comfort of the home as the filmmaker intended.
Brilliant pictures and crystal-clear clarity
BRAVIA Projector 7 is equipped with Sony’s laser light source, offering 2,200 lumen enhanced brightness in Sony’s award-winning compact lightweight designs. For gamers, the 4K 120fps at a 12ms input lag, plus Auto Low Latency Mode via HDMI 2.1 inputs provide the necessary smooth and clear movement for responsive and immersive gameplay.
Christopher Mullins, Head of BRAVIA for Sony Professional Displays & Solutions Europe said: “We are thrilled to be introducing BRAVIA Projector 7 that boasts all the cutting-edge technology and premium design our Sony BRAVIA line-up encompasses, but at an entry-level price point. For over 50 years, Sony has been helping its customers to bring cinema to the home, and now with the introduction of another BRAVIA projector, we’re demonstrating our commitment to ensuring customers can enjoy the excitement and immersion of a professional-grade cinematic viewing experience from their very own home.”
