The Sony VPL-VW365ES is the least expensive true 4K home theater projector currently available, at $9999 list price. It supports 4K HDR for dazzling picture quality, and has an impressive feature set. It replaces the older VW350ES which we previously reviewed, and awarded. The VW365ES is designed to be nicely bright - just enough to be paired with a light rejecting (ALR) screen in rooms with good, but not great light control, and of course, it's great in your dedicated home theater or cave, should you have one or are about to create one.
We'll start off with an overview of the VPL-VW365ES, and a list of its highlights. From there, other pages will consider special features, a tour of the hardware, our take on a number of aspects of picture quality, and performance measurements. Finally, a summary of the whole VW365ES review, including a pros and cons section.
Let's get started.
