[Native: 16:10] With a dedicated light controlled movie room with a 170 inch screen 4K resolution is appreciated. After much research, I chose this to replace my Epson. You get native 4K resolution, high contrast and sufficient lumens all at an unmatched value. Could not be happier with my purchase.

[Laser Phosphor] If you have ever viewed the VPL-VW5000ES & thought that machine had a brilliant picture at 5,000 lumens, the purely stunning display chip combined with the newest laser lamp that puts out a whopping 10,000 lumens makes the 5000ES model look like a Triniton from the 1980’s!

I recently upgraded from the 5000ES to the GTZ380 in my “man cave” with a 165” SI gray slate 1.3 gain screen. If the blacks are brightness of the 5,000 had an amazing image, the dual data/motion flow chipsets and double the lumens combined make for a viewing experience that’s so immersive that only in the most gorgeous scenes from a solid, full HDR 4K source do you sit back and both admire the engineering behind this beyond words projector’s imagining-that you chuckle at how much you spent to be so fortunate to buy one.

Hands down, there is no imagination left to better what already seems that the human eyes can’t possibly see anything technologically “better”. After this machine was conceived, I’d have to think that engineers are being laid off- or have abandoned any future development as there is no possibility of any picture quality improvement beyond this unit. Has to be the end of the line for any sort of television or movie watching device innovation- no way anything could ever top this picture quality and brightness that’s so full of color and absolutely zero stutter.

I can now rest easy, my wife can’t be upset at my A/V “addiction”, as this is the last TV/Projector I will ever need or purchase. To spin a quote from the movie Field of Dreams “Is this heaven?....no, this is Sony”!

[3-Chip 1" LCD] This is my fourth projector. It is by far the brightest and best contrast projector of all.
I especially love the remote. It is designed so that a person like me that is not a trained set up person can navigate.

[1] I bought this to replace my Sony VPL-PWZ10, that wore out its laser. This was a comparable projector, with a few upgrades. Most notable was the contrast is much improved as is the picture clarity. B&H offers the best purchase experience. I order it on a Friday afternoon in Colorado, and they shipped it on Monday, and I got it on Tuesday. It was a pleasure to deal with a reputable company after ordering it from another company and waiting 2 weeks.

[Native: 16:10] Just passed the 100 hr mark on the projector and I am really impressed. Picture is amazing. Detailed, deep blacks and the colors are incredible.
Using all sources from OTA TV to 4K HDR on Kaleidescape the unit delivers.
Highly recommended.
