VPLGTZ380 in by Sony in Stamford, CT - VPL-GTZ380 4K SXRD Laser Projector

4K SXRD Home Theater Projector

A 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut is achieved without sacrificing the high brightness of 10,000 lm, with three channels of light sources-a red light laser source is added to the blue light laser and phosphor light sources. Strikingly expressive images deliver an overwhelming viewing experience. The spectacularly bright projection enables you to enjoy the great picture even in a well-lit space.

Spectacular 10,000-lumen brightness with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut

A 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut is achieved without sacrificing the high brightness of 10,000 lm, with a unique 3-channel laser light source. 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 spectacular brightness and projected images with stunning realism even in well-lit spaces.

Native 4K SXRD TM panel

Native 4K SXRD TM panel The advanced SXRD TM (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) panel technology featured in Sony's home theater projectors delivers native 4K-resolution (4096 x 2160) images with 8.8 million pixels for an incredibly lifelike picture. SXRD projection offers rich, inky blacks as well as clear cinematic motion and image smoothness, and can reproduce vibrant colors with more tones and textures than a standard projector system.

X1 TM Ultimate for projector

X1 TM Ultimate for projector X1 TM Ultimate for projector takes our acclaimed BRAVIA TV video processing and optimizes it for projection. The incredible power of this video engine enables prodigious data processing, with real-time enhancement for each individual on-screen object. The result is true high dynamic range imagery, with texture, color, contrast and realism never before available to home theater.

Making color and contrast more real

With Object-based HDR Remaster powered by X1 TM Ultimate for projector, the color in individual objects on screen is analyzed and the contrast adjusted, unlike most TVs and projectors where contrast is only adjusted along one black-to-white contrast curve. Because objects are remastered individually, this projector can reproduce greater depth and textures, and more realistic pictures.

Dynamic HDR Enhancer

Dynamic HDR Enhancer powered by X1 TM Ultimate for projector delivers the best contrast by processing HDR content scene by scene. It further enhances the contrast in combination with laser light output control, which makes bright scenes brighter and dark scenes darker to deliver bright 4K HDR images.

Individual objects-analyzed and enhanced

Object-based Super Resolution technology powered by X1 TM Ultimate for projector detects individual objects in a picture and preserves details on screen. Hundreds of objects are identified and their resolution is individually enhanced to give a picture of exceptional accuracy and detail.

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. Each database has tens of thousands of references, amassed from our experience creating content for TV and films over the years.

Watch bright images for years with a Z-phosphor laser light

The VPL-GTZ380 uses an ultra-pure and reliable Z-Phosphor TM 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. No lamp replacements required, and virtually zero maintenance.

Digital Contrast Optimizer

With Digital Contrast Optimizer, the challenging dark parts of a projected image are reproduced with incredible depth. Low luminance details are detected and automatically compensated for, preventing washed-out, floating blacks and delivering unrivaled contrast.

Digital Focus Optimizer

Optimum focus is achieved not only optically, but also digitally, with the Digital Focus Optimizer. By analyzing every pixel of the images with our own algorithm and detecting possible optical degradation in advance, the Digital Focus Optimizer performs optimum image quality correction so that the focus is better than ever, even in the corners.

4K Motionflow TM

4K Motionflow TM The powerful video processor in the VPL-GTZ380 offers Motionflow TM for smooth and clear motion, even when viewing 4K content. Motionflow TM is best for fast-moving sports content, as it adds frames to reduce blur while maintaining brightness. Cinema purists can choose True Theater mode to retain the original 24fps.

Corner-to-corner sharpness with the ARC-F lens

For pristine image quality across the entire screen, the VPL-GTZ380 features an All-Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens. This large-aperture lens adopts an all-glass design for its 18 elements, including six Extra Low-Dispersion (ELD) elements. This ensures optimal convergence of the red, green and blue primaries even at the extreme edges of the image, for a clear and vivid image wherever you look.

HDR compatibility: every image comes to life

Get the most from your projector when viewing new UHD Blu-ray and streaming services with High Dynamic Range (HDR). HDR video offers a vastly expanded brightness range to deliver far more realistic, high-contrast images and brilliant colors. Compatible with both HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) formats, Sony's home projectors reproduce color and contrast faithfully to the creators' intent.

Make the home theater experience bigger and better than ever.

Sony 4K projectors are compatible with IMAX Enhanced content, making them ready to deliver the bigger, more breathtaking IMAX visuals you love in compatible content. Take advantage of the size of your projector screen with movies that become even more immersive with IMAX Enhanced.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
