[Yoshiji Nishikawa's big screen ☆ Mania] Buy a 1.7 million yen Sony 4K projector "VPL-VW745" (probably).Laser, HDR and Zenji -AV Watch

In recent years, "4K" and "HDR compatible" have become the main theme as the direction of the evolution of the home theater projector.In this regard, the battle between the "pseudo 4K" vs. "Real 4K" is still ongoing, but new technical themes are coming here.

It is a "laser light source".

Sony has launched "4K" and "HDR compatible" with "Real 4K" and launched "VPL-VW5000" at the end of 2016 as a model with the light source as "laser light source".However, the price was 8 million yen and it was a class that was out of reach of ordinary households.

After that, the VPL-VZ1000 with the same element was released in the spring of 2017.This is a model with unique product value, such as "only for flooring installation" and "ultra -short focus model", with a price of 2.2 million yen.

The VPL-VW5000 and VPL-VZ1000 are products that are assumed to have a slightly different use case, so it is difficult to evaluate them side by side with the same evaluation axis, but still three elements: "4K", "HDR", and "laser light source".The fact that the models with all of them had reached the 2 million yen range was exciting from the Home Theater Project fan.The expectation was that the model equipped with a laser light source would come to the price range that could be purchased if you do your best in the near future.

Sony has launched a new product again this year, while the "glitter" of the fans did not fit.That is "VPL-VW745".1.7 million yen with "4K", "HDR" and "laser light source".In the history of the projector, the acceleration of the "technology that has entered the 1 million yen range" is very fast.

The release is December, but the reservation of the dealer is about 1.5 million yen, and the large screen ☆ enthusiasts should be quite exciting.The author is also considering the introduction in earnest.

So, this series is usually evaluated at home after the product is released, but I have experienced the VPL-VW745 before the release in the Sony evaluation room, and heard that the development team is concerned about it.
