Sony has introduced two new home cinema projectors in India under its Bravia lineup: the Bravia Projector 7 and Bravia Projector 9. Both models deliver a premium native 4K HDR experience using the company’s advanced XR Processor. These projectors are designed for home theater setups and media rooms and come with support for gaming at 4K 120fps, smart home integration, and optimized image clarity.
Bravia Projector 7 Specifications
The Bravia Projector 7 features Sony’s 0.61-inch SXRD panels with native 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) and a brightness output of 2,200 lumens. It uses a laser diode light source and supports HDR10 and HLG formats for high dynamic range playback. The projector is powered by Sony’s XR Processor for Projector, which enables technologies like XR Dynamic Tone Mapping, XR Deep Black, XR TRILUMINOS Pro, and XR Clear Image.
The projector includes manual lens shift with a vertical range of ±71% and horizontal range of ±25%, along with a throw ratio of 1.38–2.21. It supports two HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K/120fps and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for gaming, along with input lag as low as 12ms. Other features include digital keystone correction, anamorphic compatibility, and a newly added Aspect Ratio Scaling mode for switching between 2.35:1 and 16:9 content without lens adjustments.
The Bravia Projector 7 supports integration with home automation systems such as Control4, Crestron, Savant, and AMX, and is compatible with remote maintenance services like OvrC and Domotz.
Bravia Projector 9 Specifications
The Bravia Projector 9 is the higher-end model in this series, offering 3,400 lumens of brightness and a wider powered zoom ratio of 2.1x. It uses the same 0.61-inch SXRD panels with native 4K resolution and a laser diode light source. The projector also runs on the XR Processor and supports HDR10 and HLG, with the same core image enhancement technologies found in the Bravia 7.
The Bravia Projector 9 includes Live Colour Enhancer, which improves vibrancy without over-saturation, making it more suitable for brighter rooms. It is equipped with an Advanced Crisp-Focused (ACF) lens featuring a 70mm aspherical element and a floating focus system. This setup ensures edge-to-edge clarity and minimizes distortion.
The lens shift range is wider here, with vertical adjustment of ±85% and horizontal shift of ±36%, along with a flexible throw ratio of 1.35–2.84. It supports the same gaming specs as the Bravia 7: 4K at 120fps, ALLM, and 12ms input lag, along with smart home compatibility and eco-friendly features like mercury-free laser technology and power-efficient laser dimming.
Pricing and Availability
Sony will begin sales of the new projectors in India from July 15, 2025, through its authorized distributors. The Bravia Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) is priced at Rs. 6,50,000 ($7,585), while the Bravia Projector 9 (VPL-XW8100ES) will retail at Rs. 17,00,000 ($19,839).
