so we're here at the sony booth where they are showing off the next evolution
0:11
in their short throw 4k laser projector
0:15
technology this one differs from previous
0:19
iterations in that it is a little bit more
0:22
furniture like in its implementation so
0:25
instead of just containing a 4k laser
0:28
projector it also has a built-in shelf
0:32
and maybe the power's coming back on now
0:51
no they were just informing us that there is a power outage
0:55
we noticed thank you
0:58
sorry for that so in a nutshell it is a more complete package than ever before
1:04
and that's why it actually costs more so while the last generation had a couple
1:09
of cabinets and speakers this one has a
1:12
shelf which is cool because you can put your xbox
1:16
excuse me your your playstation down there and it also has three excuse me
1:21
five speakers and a subwoofer so there's two tweeters using sony's advanced
1:26
vertical drive so they're actually glass
1:29
and they radiate sound in all directions and there are three mid-range speakers
1:34
built into the chassis with one of them actually firing out the back that acts
1:39
as a center speaker so it's it's pointed at the wall and then it bounces the
1:44
sound towards the viewer the sub is actually the big thing that's
1:48
kind of at the back near the bottom and from listening to it it's actually
1:53
surprising how much sound they've managed to pack into this little package
1:58
now let's talk about the image so it actually uses pretty similar tech to
2:02
sony's last generation solution so it's still a single laser dlp but that's
2:07
without a spinning color wheel so you shouldn't see any rainbow effect and it
2:10
can handle a maximum image size of a hundred and twenty inches at only nine
2:15
and a half inches from the wall so that's actually pretty similar to what
2:19
we're looking at right here it's 4k it's HDR it has a maximum
2:24
luminance of 2500 lumens and they're planning to make it available in the us
2:28
sometime this spring now it's going to cost you a pretty
2:32
penny at about 30 000
2:35
but if you think of it more in terms of like fancy furniture pricing and less in
2:41
terms of firing a laser projected image at your
2:45
wall pricing then maybe that starts to get a little bit more reasonable if
2:49
you're into that sort of thing i mean you got your engineered marble top you
2:53
got your design that i think subjectively looks pretty darn good and neutral so it
2:58
should look great in pretty much any space that's that's real wood on the
3:01
shelf there folks and you know what else is real the time you can save with
