Sony VPL-XW5000ES - 4K Projector Review

In this video, I review the Sony VPL-XW5000ES and compare it to my current projector—the Sony VPL-VW325ES.

Sony XW5000es Projector Unboxing & First Impression:    • Sony VPL-XW5000ES - Unboxing & First ...  

A few additional notes not mentioned in the video:

Bright Cinema is my preferred picture mode. I watched largely in this mode and in Cinema Film 1. No special calibrations or other adjustments.

I also approached this review the way I would do any real-world watching. I played the movies and shows I typically watch and decided which projector performed better to my eyes. Nothing especially sophisticated.
