Okay, picture this: a completely windowless room, and even with light reduction set to just 60%, this projector still wows with its vivid, bright colors. Seriously, the clarity in those dark scenes? Next level. I grabbed this bad boy at a steep discount through a warehouse deal, and let me tell you—my high expectations have been not just met, but blown away. If I’m being honest, I’m absolutely thrilled with this purchase and can already see it being a part of my home for years of cinematic bliss.
I hold out for SONY to drop a laser projector, and when the 5000-ES came out, it was a no-brainer. We went with this one over the 6000-ES because the lens is set-and-forget, leaving me $6500 richer and with zero hassle. I mean, that’s basically a flex in projector form.
The pics I’ve attached? Brightness is only at 50%. With the lights on, it’s still clear and vibrant. If you’re not a videophile, this is the projector for your home theater or den setup. Simple, beautiful, and totally worth it.

The VPL-XW6000ES sits proudly in the middle of Sony’s laser-lit projector lineup, using their top-tier SXRD technology. And let me tell you, after 20 years and four models, this one is a serious step up. It’s 40% brighter than my old VPL-VW675ES, and the image quality in my dedicated home theater is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s so bright, I actually had to dial down the laser emitter. Honestly, I’ve never experienced brightness like this before.
One area where this projector really shines (pun intended) is 3D movies. The brightness is on another level. Even with the glasses on, the experience rivals a commercial theater. It’s just a shame Sony decided to cheap out by not including a built-in 3D transmitter like in their previous models. Sure, it’s only a $50 part, but for a high-end device like this, it feels a bit stingy.
At this price point, you’ll find the usual nitpicks—some people whine about black levels, image sharpness at the edges, and the challenge of calibrating it. But honestly? The moment I fired this thing up with some of my favorite movies, I was gob-smacked. And trust me, it takes a lot to impress me.
