On this week’s podcast, Sammie Prescott joins us to discuss his most recent ProjectorCentral review of the Sony Bravia Projector 7, also known as the VPL-XW5100 in custom install channels.

Featuring a more refined set of features and improved performance, the Bravia Projector 7 is priced at $9,999.99 MSRP. It sits just below the Bravia Projector 8 and above the entry-level XW5000, giving potential buyers more options to suit their needs. Two details worth mentioning are aspect ratio scaling and inclusion of Sony's XR Processor.

Aspect ratios scaling allows a 16:9 image to be scaled down so it fits properly within a cinemascope screen, while the XR Processor supports advanced features such as XR Dynamic Tone Mapping, XR Deep Black, XR Triluminos Pro, XR Clear Image, and Enhanced Brightness. Also, for gamers it offers the lowest input latency in its class at just 11ms when running 4K at 120Hz, along with support for ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode).

Alas, fans of 3D movies need not apply. There is no 3D support in the Projector 7.
