Sony gets credit for bringing out the first consumer 4K projector, with the VPL-VW1000ES. It’s a real 4K chip. Ok, chips, as it uses their SXRD (LCOS) 3-chip technology. On most screens, even big ones, it’s doubtful you’d be able to see the advantage of 4K. Knowing that, Sony pushed the turbo button on brightness, with a claimed 2,000 ANSI lumens, for “nearly twice the output of previous Sony home theater projectors.” Their words, not mine.
"On most screens, even big ones, it’s doubtful you’d be able to see the advantage of 4K" Psh... the last time I went to go see a digital IMAX presentation, I could see the pixel structure--4K would have definitely been a noticeable improvement there. Sure, people may not be getting IMAX sized screens in their houses, but in terms of equally that perceived size they certainly could. All you have to do is get close enough. Besides, even if you can't actually perceive the difference in pixel size, I find it hard to believe that anyone at CEDIA didn't think 4K DIDN'T look better than 2K.
