The VP-GTZ380 precisely displays true 4K 120 Hz content. There are no upscaling or pixel shift tricks used to reproduce over 8 million pixels on screen at full frame rates. The finest details will be crisp and clear even when your audience is closer to the screen in environments like lobbies, galleries, and showrooms.

This projector utilizes a 10,000-lumen, 3-channel laser light source to provide wide color gamut without sacrificing brightness. A high-intensity blue laser activates the phosphor light source for wide gamut white light, while additional balanced red and blue laser light sources negate the need for a light-sapping color filter. The result is effective brightness and projected images with accurate color and realism even in well-lit spaces.

To overcome the pitfalls of more common LCD and DLP color technology, Sony employs the Silicon X-tal Reflective Display or SXRD. This is a Sony proprietary version of LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology. Like transmissive LCD, this system uses liquid crystal to control the flow of light for each pixel. As with DLP chips, the light reflects off a mirrored surface toward the screen. Where light passes through the transmissive LCD layer once, light must pass through the LCoS LCD layer twice, which makes for higher contrast. This combination of transmissive and reflective technology also eliminates the screen-door effect of LCD and the rainbow effect of DLP technology. The end result is bright whites, rich colors, and deep blacks.

X1 Ultimate for projector takes Sony’s acclaimed BRAVIA TV video processing and optimizes it for projection. This enables fast data processing with real-time enhancement for each object onscreen. Hundreds of objects are identified and their resolution is individually enhanced to give a picture of exceptional accuracy and detail. The Dynamic HDR Enhancer powered by X1 processes HDR content scene by scene for optimal control over light and dark. Additionally, Sony uses dual database processing; one database is used to clean the picture, reducing on-screen noise, and the other is used to upscale the resolution, improving clarity. These two powerful image improvement databases work together, dynamically improving pixels in real time. The result is true high dynamic range imagery, with accurate texture, color, contrast, and realism.

The VPL-GTZ380 uses an ultra-pure and reliable Z-Phosphor laser light source. This Sony-developed laser light source lets you enjoy perfectly clear 4K pictures at optimal brightness for up to 20,000 uninterrupted hours. You will never have to change a lamp, and overall maintenance is much lower than non-laser projectors.

Sony offers short- and standard-throw lenses for this projector. The VPLL-Z800 short-throw lens provides a 0.80-1.02:1 throw ratio. The standard-throw VPLL-Z8014 has a throw ratio of 1.40-2.73:1.
