CEDIA 2017 sees Sony launch an entry-level 4K HDR home theatre projector-- the VPL-VW285ES, a projector promising a (relatively) lower-priced option for customers wanting to upgrade their cinema and gaming experience.

The VPL-VW285ES offers real 4K output, with resolution reaching 4096 x 2160. It also adds HDR through HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support, while colour is further boosted through the addition of Triluminos technology. Brightness reaches 1500 lumens, and Sony claims operation time totals up to 6000 hours.

For customers wanting a fancier projector Sony also has the VPL-VW385ES, a mid-tier projector with 200000:1 Dynamic Contrast, "Advanced Iris" for improved detail and less image artifacts and Sony Reality Creation upscaling, and the high-end VPL-VW885ES featuring 2000 lumens brightness, "infinite" dynamic contrast with real-time laser light control and 20000 hours lamp life.

Screen Excellence presents a retractable screen option-- the RM2T, offering the same performance as the Elightor Neo-S acoustically transparent projection surface.

Available in widths up to 3.56m, the RM2T subtly compliments the decor of the room when not in use, yet swiftly and silently drops into position when required. Thus it makes an ideal solution for concealing any trace of retractable technology.

Optoma launches the HD39Darbee-- a portable HD projector ideal for movie fans and gamers featuring Darbee Visual Presence image enhancement for increased contrast and colour saturation.

The projector weighs less than 3kg, and can be carried around in an optional carry bag for any event or gaming session. It is also small yet bright enough for media room installations, with brightness reaching 3500 lumens and fast response time of 16ms.

Resolution clocks at 1080p, while the Rec.709 colour depth is bolstered by Optoma Amazing Colour technology. A variety of preset modes and settings allow users to match any application or environment, and a 1.6x zoom with vertical lens shift simplifies positioning for a wide choice of screen sizes.

Crystal Screens announces the Reflect 3.0-- a 130-inch diagonal screen tailored for high-end home cinemas, featuring holographic technology the company says rejects all kind of ambient light sources.

The screen also provides uniform optical performance over all colour spectrums, as well as excellent contrast and black levels in bright, dim or dark environments. It comes in the increasingly popular 2.4:1 aspect ratio, aka CinemaScope.
