Sony vpl xw7000es1/8/2024 ![]() The projector also has a refresh rate of 120Hz, although thanks to the lack of HDMI 2.1 inputs this higher frame rate only applies to resolutions up to 2K (1920 x 1080). The Sony VPL-XW7000ES uses exactly the same 0.61-inch SXRD chipset as the XW5000ES, which delivers native 4K (3840 x 2160) images. Once again the buttons are laid out in a sensible fashion, the remote is comfortable to hold and use with one hand, and includes all the controls you’ll need to setup and operate the XW7000. The remote is the same large and backlit zapper included with the XW5000, but with a couple of extra controls related lens memory and 3D. The JVC projectors not only have HDMI 2.1 inputs, but also support both features. While the lack of HDMI 2.1 inputs may be understandable on the more affordable XW5000, it’s very disappointing on the higher end model, and their absence means the XW7000ES can’t handle 4K 120Hz or HDR10+. Unlike the cheaper model, there’s also a 3.5mm 3D Sync Out jack for connecting an external 3D emitter. The connections are located in a recess below the side controls, and just like the XW5000ES you’ll find two HDMI 2.0b inputs, an Ethernet port and RS-232C connector, a 12V trigger, an IR input jack, and a USB port for power. The lens controls are also motorised, making setup easier, and there are lens memories to create different settings for narrower aspect ratios – handy if you have a 2.35:1 screen. One area where the two differ is the lens assembly, with the XW7000 using an Advanced Crisp Focus (ACF) lens, which resolves more detail. The build quality is also similar, which is disappointing considering it’s more than twice the price of the XW5000. The XW7000ES is slightly larger at 460 x 210 x 517mm (WxHxD), and weighs more at 14kg, but offers the same choice of matte black or matte white. There are air intake grilles across the entire front, exhaust vents at the rear, and some basic controls on the left hand side as you face the lens. The Sony VPL-XW7000ES looks identical to the XW5000ES, with the same angled design, and centrally-mounted lens. ![]() If your budget is more constrained you could also take a look at the VPL-XW5000ES, although this model drops a number of key features, but how does the XW7000 compare to its cheaper sibling, not to mention its direct competitors the JVC DLA-NZ7 and DLA-NZ8? Design Since the XW7000ES is the high-end model, it also has a claimed brightness that reaches a retina-burning 3,200 lumens, plus motorised lens controls and memories, Sony’s Advanced Crisp Focus (ACF) lens, and support for 3D. The Sony VPL-XW7000ES is on of the latest additions to the company’s line-up of native 4K projectors, all of which now use a phosphor laser light source, the X1 Ultimate for Projector processor, Dynamic HDR Enhancements, and Motionflow frame interpolation technology. ![]()
