Sony aims to impress with its VPL-VW665ES home cinema projector. It’s a true 4K projector that displays a picture of 8.8 million pixels--four times full HD. It’s also 3D capable and offers a dramatic contrast ratio of 300,000:1. The projector’s 1,800-lumen lamp is rated to last 6,000 hours. Sony includes technology in this device that is found in its highest-end professional line of products, such as its 4K SXRD panels. It also features its Triluminos technology, which the company says achieves truer-to-life colors. The VW665ES includes a 2.06 motorized zoom lens with a wide lens-shift range, making initial setup easy.

Despite some quibbles, I can still say that the VPL-VW665ES delivers some of the best images I’ve ever seen in front projection. Whether with 1080p or native 4K, overall performance was stunning. But there’s room for improvement.
