‘Sony lays on cutting-edge imaging technologies based around the X1 Ultimate for Projector processor' The VPL-VW5000ES still claims an impressive 5,000 Lumens and sells for £49,999, while the VPL-VW890ES (HCC #323) manages 2,200 Lumens, and is ‘only’ £24,999. Both those models are from earlier generations, though – new this year are the VPL-XW7000ES, with a rated 3,200 Lumens brightness and £14,999 price tag, and the entry-level VPL-XW5000ES, which is suggested can deliver 2,000 Lumens, and costs a more reasonable £5,999. It's this model that is on test, and one that replaces the outgoing lamp-based VPL-VW290ES (HCC #325) as its 'entry-level' beamer.
