SONY LAUNCHES A NEW 4K HDR LASER PROJECTOR!

Sony has unveiled the SRX-R800 series, a new line of digital laser projectors capable of displaying in 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR). This will help with making movies looking sharp on the big screen and each of the SRX-R800 series projectors packs a laser light source. Sony's proprietary SXRD optical panels, together, these technologies improve the picture quality with more natural colour reproduction, better brightness and a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 – the hallmarks of HDR and that is coupled with a 4K resolution.

Alongside the better visuals, the laser projectors require much less maintenance than the older models that is lit by a Xenon lamp. Sony's SRX-R800 series can run for 35,000 hours and still shine with 80 percent of its original brightness. The SRX-R800 series is made up of four models, suited for theatres and screens of different sizes. For small or medium-sized theatres; the SRX-R810P can shine with 7,500 lumens, and the SRX-R815P doubles that at 15,000. The next model up, the SRX-R810DS, also projects at a brightness of 15,000 lumens, while the top of the line SRX-R815DS can get up to 30,000 lumens.

Although there is no word on how pricey these projectors can be Sony has already thrown open the doors for pre-orders with the projectors expected to be released later this year.
