True 4K has been hard to come by in a projector - but now Sony has three brand-new models

Sony has announced three new 4K projectors. All three are HDR and HDR10 compatible, and are fitted with Sony's proprietary SXRD panel in a drive for class-leading images.

The VPL-VW260ES is the most affordable of the new models. It features 1500 lumens of brightness, 2.06 zoom and wide lens shift.

The VPL-VW360ES replaces the VPL-VW320ES. It has the same headline specification as the VW260ES, but adds a claimed 200,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

Both the VPL-VW260ES and VPL-VW360ES are available now, in either black or white finishes.

The VPL-VW760ES is the priciest of the range (and replaces the VPL-VW1100ES). It's a laser light-source design, good for 2000 lumens of brightness. Unlike most laser light-source models, the VW760ES is reasonably compact (a full 40 per cent smaller than the current VPL-VW5000ES laser light-source projector). It's on sale in November of this year.

He worked for more than 14 years at What Hi-Fi?, the last six of which were spent as the editor of the magazine and website. Since then he's written for Wired, The Guardian, TechRadar, Stuff, GQ and many more besides. 

In the course of his career he's developed a pretty deep understanding of the way both the publishing and the electronics industries function, as well as the sort of intimate knowledge of audio products (both specific and general) that can make people very wary of him at parties.
