The projector VPL-VW290ES originates from Sony and operates as a 3D-Laser-SXRD device with 1500 ANSI lumens and a UHD (4K+2K) 4096 x 216 resolution. According to Sony, the included lamp lasts up to 6000 hours. A daily usage of 2 hours makes an operational lifespan of 8.2 years possible. The presence of a lens shift function enables flexible vertical or horizontal positioning of the projector. The achievable distances are shown in the Distance Calculator. Looking at practical performance, up to 287 cm can be illuminated with 1500 ANSI lumens in dark environments. Once daylight is in the room, the image should ideally be no wider than 191 cm. For media input, video signals up to 1080P and 4K as well as 3D are supported, meaning standard Blu-ray formats are processed effortlessly. Connectivity for fixed installations is rounded off by an RJ45 port for remote maintenance and an HDBaseT interface, which transmits bundled video, audio, and control data over long cable runs. In the specifications, the operating noise is listed at a mere 26 decibels, indicating very quiet cooling. This model dates back to 2021 and is no longer part of Sony's current product range.
