Sony releases its first high-resolution projector for the home theatre market-- the SXRD-based 4K VPL-VW100ES projector.

Designed to meet the needs of both custom installers and the more demanding customers, it delivers 2000 ANSI-lumens of brightness and 1000000:1 dynamic contrast.

It supports 2D and 3D anamorphic films, and carries a built-in transmitter and picture position memory memorising zoom lens position.

Both 2D and 3D 1080P content get a visual boost through the Super Resolution 4K upscaler.

Installation options include a dual triggers, 2.1 motorised zoom, expanded throw distances, RS232 interface, control over IP and compatibility with most home automation systems.

The VPL-VW100ES will start shipping in December, for prices around $25000.
