Sony 5000 Laser Projector

i wore out my SONY UST laser projector light source (running it 19,000 hours in 6 years) and replaced the projector with the SONY 98" TV. the loss of screen size (from 118" to 98") was more than compensated for by the amazing brillance of the picture.

I did my homework before settling on this projector. I was looking at 3 price points. Low ($1200), Mid ($3000), High ($6000). For the High I wanted the Sony entry laser projectors (but I think this one is even better than the entry laser projector from what I read in professional reviews). This project was at the high end of the Mids but after reading many reviews from AV professionals, when they say that this is their favorite projector and another said that the picture is almost as good as the Sony $40K laser projectors I had to try it out. And it does not disappoint. Everything that you think and expect in a great image, it has. I run at a medium bulb power and it looks awesome (in a dark room). Just read the pro reviews and you will settle on this one for the price point. I was not a fan of pixel shifting or DLP but this projector won me over.

I bought this to replace my Sony VPL-PWZ10, that wore out its laser. This was a comparable projector, with a few upgrades. Most notable was the contrast is much improved as is the picture clarity. B&H offers the best purchase experience. I order it on a Friday afternoon in Colorado, and they shipped it on Monday, and I got it on Tuesday. It was a pleasure to deal with a reputable company after ordering it from another company and waiting 2 weeks.

The EF12 Smart Streaming Laser Projector is better than I expected. The clarity, color, video speed, sound quality and easy to setup. The projector is exactly what I have been looking to buy for years. I also purchased the carrying case and it is worth the money. I expected a cheap bag, this is very high quality. I have recommended this projector to my family and friends. I can wait for summer for outdoor movie night in the backyard.

Was very pleased with the Vortex 10/42 Fury 5000 Gen 11 Laser Rangefinder Binocular. Easy to pack and very clear optics. Great quality for the price. Only suggestion I would have would be to make the plastic eyepiece nongloss between the eyecup and the lens , as the glare is distracting when the sun hits it. Thanks for a great product.

Bag is just the right size for our new Panasonic PT-VZ580U 5000-Lumen WUXGA 3LCD Projector: holds it in place, easy to get in & out, roomy pockets for cables, remote, user manual, etc, & grip handles or over-the-shoulder strap.

This is a genuine OEM package of an NEC lamp and filters. To save money, I originally purchased a 3rd party replacement lamp at less than half the price, and it seemed fine (if a little dim). Just how dim became ridiculously apparent when I happened to use a 2200-lumen projector which blew away the alleged 5000-lumen 3rd party bulb in brightness! Forget buying a cheap bulb -- if you bought a 5000-lumen projector, get the display you paid for with a genuine NEC bulb.

I bought this to replace an older non-wide screen projector. When they say 5000 lumens, they mean it!  We can almost turn the room lights all the way up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had second thoughts about this particular laser projector but it’s awesome I love it!

if you are looking for a living room tv replacement, ust laser projector, with incredible design, then just get this! i unplugged my old projector and streaming box, plugged the arc hdmi into my receiver, and was viewing stunning images on a cream wall. i don’t see any rainbow effects, but didn’t on my old dlp either. laser? yes! i am in 2020 finally! vivid colors, needs lowering of contrast, alr screen can only make this better, i don’t need one - i love the lightness. remote is supremely well designed. some early bugs (auto update not working, and bluetooth audio maxes vol between videos). so much more to write, limited by website - it’s magical!
